Next step is to just blow up the levees and let nature take back over.
Posted on 11/26/24 at 9:51 am to ragincajun03
Can we just get rid of the levees already?

Jeff Landry has effectively killed Louisiana’s largest coastal project as envisioned.
He's solidifying my vote against him especially if he can't figure out how to fund this universal school choice AND the new Mississippi River bridge within the next 18 months.
So far he's like Bobby Jindal's second term. And I mean that in the most offensive way possible to Landry and his slack jawed supporters.

I supported Schroeder Wags was too GOP establishment and a Jindal guy and pro COVID lockdown and pro criminal Justice “ reform “. Obviously in runoff Landry was better than Wilson and he is 10 times better than JBE so we are stuck with him now and he has his flaws but for people to say he is the same as JBE is intellectually dishonest

Understatement of the year. I am truly shocked at the level of unbridled stupidity this guy operates under. It makes zero sense based on a basic review of his background/history.

Good that stuff is a waste and hurts commercial fishing.

So the $550M LA has to pay back isn't a waste?
And it will just move commercial fishing.

I think they robbed the funds earmarked for the bridge to help balance the budget for the next couple of years.
The new bridge is probably dead.

3 billion for 21 square miles over 50 years doesn't sound like a good use of taxpayer money .
What you must understand is that is just new land created from open water. Yes, it comes out to over $200,000/acre, which is on par with the cost of barrier island restoration but not marsh creation (usually in the $50,000-$100,000/acre cost range)..BUT they key point that the media misses and CPRA does a poor job of communicating to the public is that a diversion of this scale also will prevent thousands to tens of thousands of existing marsh acres all across the Barataria basin from disappearing. On that basis, the $/acre spend becomes far more economical than dredging, which is why the scientists and engineers took us down this path in the first place.
Dredging and creating an acre of marsh only tends to affect that acre, maybe a few neighboring acres...diversions don't just create an acre, but affect many, many other acres near and far.

They're too short sighted. If they get their way, nothing will be done. The land loss and saltwater intrusion will continue and get worse after every storm. And eventually the west side of the river will be nothing but open water (more so that it already is) with no marsh estuary to provide the nursery for all the seafood they make their living on.
Who knew we shouldn't listen to fishermen for huge ecological projects.

thats a tough concept for the fine intelligent bright people of louisiana to understand.
Greed has blinded the ones in power and the knowledgeable minority suffers.

If you want to see Crab Bucket Mentality on the scale of a Haiti, this is it.
Not only are these people trying to drag everyone else in LA down, they're doing it for just a short time period because their livelihood is already gone...we just don't know how much longer it's going to be here.

That's because CPRA Chairman Gordy Dove wants the project to fail, but doesn't want it look like it's his fault.

You clearly didn’t pay attention. Dude has been a certified retard wasting tax payer money on frivolous lawsuits for years.

So a "theoretical" 20 square miles, at a cost of $3B, and a timeframe of 50 years.
That sounds like a horrible ROI. Why are some of y'all upset?
It isn't the State's money. Its BP and fed money that is specifically allocated for coastal projects.
