As most people know, due to lack of yearly flooding in Mississippi delta, New Orleans and surrounding area is slowly sinking. These areas are well below sea level while New England is not. Although we can create dams and levys to hold the sea back, we will have to give up soon or later. If supposit "Global Warming" does raise the sea level even higher, not just N.O. but Florida and other places will become below sea level.

If someone want to live below sea level, it should be at their cost not at the expense of smart people who have chosen to live on a higher ground. They should pay for their own levy, rebuilding cost and insurance to cover these costs. If it is too expensive, than move.

Just a short commentary on paying for others to live in a dangerous place.
