Is Plaquimines Parish going to be un-insurable?

Serious question:
Unless you go up atleast 15 feet, who in the hell will cover anything?
I truly am starting to believe they need to designate this area un-inhabitable and will only allow camps and industry 'housing' in the area.

No different than Grand Isle.

Garland Robinette brought up a similar topic this morning on WWL. He was basically saying that it would be great for them to build flood protection for all of these areas that currently don't have it, but where is the money going to come from? Does it make sense to spend millions or maybe even billions of dollars to protect the relatively few people that aren't protected?

Decimate the levees below Belle Chasse, and let the river run it's course to redistribute silt that is critical for wetlands and storm protection.

When my parents sold their camp earlier this year, their flood deductible was $38,000. Camp was at 17'

Turn it into a WMA. State buy out and or keep it as a camp style place. Belle Chasse or just below to be the last town to live in. Everything else below, no levee and a wildlife management area. Sad but ......hey 
But then will we get satsumas and oranges?

The question in the OP needs to be asked. But IMO, the scope needs to be expanded. There were places in LaPlace and the Northshore that flooded that were not expected to flood. Basically, the levee system in place now protects certain areas but perturbates others. Eventually, the Corps of Engineers will concede defeat - physically and fiscally.
This was a Cat1 storm. Dunno what statistics show but my guess is that we can expect a Cat1 storm every 10-15 years.

Agreed. They need very specific housing only. It's a losing battle. Need to let the river go.
