Mistakes Made in New Orleans Flood Maps
Texas / South Central News • November 19, 2007
A system of flood gates and pumps built since Hurricane Katrina to help alleviate flooding in several New Orleans neighborhoods may not be as much help as authorities first said.

Wasting money is Irag, Anon. We should keep the money here and that's all there is to it. Everyone's tax dollars including residents of New Orleans are being used and not just yours. There's crime there and there have been spikes in crime where the evacuees have relocated, I'll give you that. My beef is with people that don't look at the fact that certain regions of the UD build and rebuild every year i.e. Tornado Alley. We should go ahead and relocated the Midwest half of the US before billions are spent rebuilding them to when there is a 500 or more tornado season over the course of a summer. It's not totally unlikely, mind you.
New Orleans has a very important port, cruise industry and military facilities, etc that contribute to this nation. You may go there and show your boobs and drink and then leave but apparently some people are disrespectful and take umbrage that the very people that wait on them hand and foot are not worthy of assistance or compassion. I have heard of Katrina fatigue but your statements I have a eef with. Irag is costing a trillion and half so far for people that hated our country's existence from the being and will continue to do so when we leave. Our dollar is garage compared to the euro, our imminence as the world power is rapidly deteriorating and you're concerned about 200,000 or less really Black people getting a hand up or hand out however you look at it. PLEASE! If people are criminals and commit criminal activity then feel free to go out and personally lock them up. If they are poor then feel free to look down on them as you apparently do. As the scriptures say, "the poor you will have with you always". Crime is a problem everywhere and not just NOLA. I have been there all my life till Katrina. I have a home there and where I'm at now. It's in my blood and though I may not like everything about New Orleans from the mayor on down I do my part as a tax-paying, law-abiding citizen to help the Broadmoor area.
Tell the people of Tornado Alley to stop rebuilding and evacuate the whole state of California. We all know it will join Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean within the next 100 years so might as well get plans together now. New York is headed for another Long Island Express - might as well get that together, too. You just have a problem with the color of New Orleans and people there regardless of race have welcomed others there despite your contempt for their plight.
If YOUR government has secured the city and the wetlands surrounding the couthern half of Louisiana decades ago then billions upon billions would not have to shelled out now. That's not the residents fault but your government at its most inept. Hurricane Betsy was a wake-up call but no one bothered to answer and if they did then they did a piss-poor job of shoring up the levees. Earthern levees my a**. That's crazy!
It's a widely held fact that natural catastrophes will get worse and worse with the climate change so what does the Democratic-run government has to do it? Republican or Democrat - we need borders secured, the coast secured and general focus on what's best for the US and stop being the world police.
