Must be nice to have tax payer money to leave the city every time it floods.

You do realize the city wasn’t initially built below sea level and to say building a port city along a major river is a bad location then I guess you can say the same for Baton Rouge

dont see why, not speaking for north and central louisiana, but what would "south" louisiana attach it self too. lol without N.O. south louisiana would be nothing lol.


Not really. What happened after Katrina? Oh yeah people moved to other Louisiana cities. Nola still doesn’t have pre Katrina population.

Louisiana was operating just fine without New Orleans then.

Universities and high schools across south Louisiana accommodated the students of New Orleans.

Could New Orleans do the same? Would Nola be capable of handling baton rouge moving to New Orleans? I don’t think it could.

New Orleans should have been where Bayou Manchac meets the river. Bienville fricked up. God tried to tell the people this when it was destroyed multiple times early in it's history. The Accidental City and Bienville's Dilemma are excellent reads on the subject.

I mean Baton Rouge isn't as flat and bowl shaped like New Orleans. Doesn't flood as bad.

I don't normally say things like this, but holy shite this a level of cuck I have rarely seen. You're literally saying an argument was made in bad faith because the mayors before and mayors afterwards are all/will be incompetent. That has to be one of the most pathetic things I've seen, and it's comical you butchered a debate 101 technique.

Memphis, St Louis, are flat lands and they flood

Like I said. When New Orleans was initially built in the 1800’s, the place where they started was 25’ above sea level.

I never said it was teedy. I’m talking about NOLA incompetence at best, out right corruption at worst.

It was settled in 1718. it's highest elevations were right at the river and they were 10'-15', with the majority of the land about 5'.

A lot of the vehicles flooding were from dumb fricks driving 20 mph down flooded streets and causing wakes big enough to lift and float carr

Someone wake Rebel's fat arse up
