You are obviously not from New Orleans, Robert. There isn't another city like New Orleans anywhere. It is a national treasure as are the people it produces. Spend some time there & learn how life is meant to be lived & people are to be celebrated.

New Orleans wasn't under sea level when it was first built. It's a city that is sinking mainly due to the levees and other flood control methods put in place to prevent a river flood. Try reading a history book once in a while.

Not all of the city is under sea level, jackass. The original neighborhoods, including the one i live in, are above sea level. People eventually started expanding the city and building homes and those are the parts that flood. Do some research before you sound like a dumbass. Or just be a dumbass.
