This one of those videos that I find fascinating. The amount of money that has been spent to prevent a flood plain from being a flood plain, is crazy.

You are spending money to rebuild the lower ninth ward with Hurricane resistant homes that nobody in that neighborhood can or could afford.

Just open up Morganza for good, build “New” New Orleans somewhere north of Morgan City on the Aatchafalaya, and rip the bandaid off

The historical parts of the city can stay as they are above sea level as it is. Could become a tourist attraction like Natchez

Well there is a 16 billion dollar wall surrounding it too.

Well that would be frickin dumb, considering that the Morganza floods everything north of Morgan City (and Morgan city itself).

The very reason for opening it is to keep the river from overflowing near New Orleans (and now BR)

You'd think jackasses who got flooded from a little pop up storm in 2016 would keep their "flooding other people" fantasies to themselves.

Nice melt.

You do realize the 2016 storm was a 1000 year event.... Katrina wasn't even a 500 year event.

Katrina was an engineering disaster, it wasn’t about the rain and you know it

Open the morganza to prevent it.

Nola brings in far more money in state than that nobody land by morgan city.

Not completely. And there is WAY more to it than that. Hell my great grandfather always said if a medium size huricane came up the MS Nola was screwed.
