I am sure that just about everyone has seen the massive destruction that occurred in New Orleans in the wake of Katrina. It was a man-made disaster. The failure of the Levee system caused about 85% of the damage. The MS Gulf Coast got most of the wind and water damage from the storm.
There was a hope and a desire by many of us on the Gulf Coast that NO would be rebuilt as a Green City, but local politics and corruption won out. Yes, I said corruption! An opportunity was missed to have the first environmentally friendly city in the US.
NO was given the chance to be a model city for something other than debauchery. It failed! The Big Easy has returned to its days of yore (whatever that means) and a perfect opportunity was missed like so many in the past.
