Will the city of New Orleans be an inhabitable city in 100 years?

I just came from a presentation about the situation on the LA coast that was mostly over my head (I'm not a scientist by any stretch), but the general jist of it was that the current $50bn plan is complete bull shite political smoke and mirrors and that essentially all of New Orleans but the "sliver by the river" is going to be open water in three or four generations, thus rendering the city of New Orleans all but uninhabitable due to nearly entirely natural phenomena btw (the oil companies are minimally at fault in all this. Water pumping causes as much or more subsidence as o&g drilling, etc). I am admittedly very ignorant on the topic. What does the OT think about it?

You think the "oil companies" are one of the primary reasons New Orleans is sinking?

Doubt many that posted in that thread will care about house values in 100 years

Yes because eventually someone will man up and have the levees destroyed south of the city.

Nice comprehension.

Well, most of Louisiana is habitable year-round for the same reason...levees.
Before the levees...lot of the state flooded. Sometimes horrifically. Now the sediment rushes out to sea and doesn't really deposit where it should.
Also, the Mississippi probably wouldn't run through New Orleans now if not for the levees.

New Orleans gets its water from the Mississippi River, not from underground. What pumping are you talking about?

Well what was your point?

The human impact on the geography of Louisiana is incredible.

Much of it should have never been developed in the first place.
