The Old River Control Structure was finished in 1963. It’s purpose was to keep the Mississippi River in its current path. Baton Rouge and New Orleans were already along the river as well as industry.
Can you not see any logic in what I am saying?

I guess If you are simple enough to believe the completion date of the ORCS was the first man made engineering attempt at controlling the river it is logical.

He’s talking about the levee system built after the 1927 flood.
It does seem at least debatable at this point whether that was the right response to flooding.
It did allow development (over-development?) of Baton Rouge and especially New Orleans, but is that a good thing? And even if so, was it worth the cost?
Is it the reason we are losing coastline?
If the river changes course anyway now, it will certainly be seen as an enormous mistake. Right?
