New Orleans is a great and Historic City. It is beautiful and has many, many significant places. It does have some major problems also. Overall I say yes it is worth something. I would choose it over Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit and many other cities.

Keep repeating that over and over in your head when you're pissing and moaning about the price of gasoline. |

"Look and see"? I have no idea what the "country looking and seeing" adds up to. A city stands up and becomes great on its own merits or it doesn't. For a leader to say "we are important - the rest of the country doesn't see it" sounds like something I'd hear from a 5 year old. Buck-up and achieve greatness or live in squalor. Its your choice.

Yes it is worth saving, just as every other state and city in this country is worth saving from disaster. I value every square foot of this great country. If you don't, you should re-evaluate your loyalty to your nation. IMHO

Yeah, me too. Although one of the poorer states, and with the most corrupt officials, it still has a lot to offer. N'awlins is my favorite city in the US...architecturally and historically it is a truly amazing city. For those who never got to see it before the hurricane, I feel sorry for you. |

They need to fix that damn levee problem down there and I as a New York taxpayer, DON'T want to pay for it. They are establishing a dangerous trend with all this hurricane "relief"
Next fucking ice storm we have up here, I'll be whining and moaning about how George Bush hates me and if I do it for more than a few seconds, he'll be throwing money at me to shut up.

Despite what shining examples the news shows of "Wheres my debit card" or "is the gubment gonn feed this baby" their are alot of things worth saving here. Notably the 80%+ who are not deadbeats on welfare since the 1930s. Most here are >>>decent working<<< people.
That said as those on the outside of the state I ask you give your full support and effort to any initiative that would give our state Government a much needed enema. Furthermore write your Reps and Senators about federal oversight of Katrina funds. Not that the Fed Gov is anymore efficient but at least it keeps the money going where it should and not to bribes and pet projects. |

Louisiana being the exception of course I beleive most states have welfare-to-work programs. So sadly most will come back. This is the perfect time for the use of Eminent Domain. Seize the high crime/welfare areas and turn them into parking lots. |

I think this "importance" issue is just a lever in the argument to fix NO. What makes a rational person pause is the notion of restoring the poverty ridden areas of the city. Ghettoizing poverty is a proven loser. It's ironic but the "so-called" voices of the poor will demand rebuilding of the lowest areas, granting subsidies to property owners to do so and then voting for increased funding for levees to protect to Cat 5 (probably not possible with current designs and space available). How will the circumstances of the poor change to a point where they can (and want to) return to a place they couldn't leave, even in the face of a deadly natural event? How will they reconcile their return with their fears that it could happen all over again. Even a black mayor and a Democratic female governor will have trouble convincing them that "it" is fixed.
New Orleans is a vital seaport, actually two seaports (New Orleans and Southern Louisiana) and has major roles to play in industry and commerce in general. It doesn't however depend on the poor and jobless to sustain it as a vital city. It may do well with 10-20% less population and less poverty. Every cloud has a silver lining. My wife's family got flooded out two years in a row and finally moved to high ground. My family moved to CA during the Dust Bowl. Some people deal with Nature rationally and responsibly, even if reluctantly. |

Did you even read my post? I was really asking if people from Louisiana have some self esteem problem about the other states and the US in general thinking they are un-important. Your Mayor and Governor sure seem to have this issue. They would really like the rest of the country to think they are important. I was just wondering if this is some issue down there with you guys. |

The "important" parts would be rebuilt without any state or federal tax dollars if just left alone. Instead we will al pay big to rebuild it, time and time again, slums included.

We won't rebuild the slums.
The new houses will be too valuable for the welfare class to afford to rent. The welfare class will settle in existing slums outside LA and create some new ones. |
