New Orleans will be a smaller town. Many sections - especially the ninth ward - should never be rebuilt. The town should consolidate on safer and higher lands.

I'll bet Clodfobble's pictures are neither New Orleans nor below sea level. It's the 'burbs, who's most powerful and best organized sector of government was the volunteer fire department, or the ladies auxiliary.
They have no money, no expertise, no more tax base and it would probably take a month to raise a quorum for a meeting. They are screwed.
