Louisiana wasted big bucks on sports stadiums that should have been spent maintaining and strengthening dikes. All the money spent on stadiums did was line the pockets of team owners.

Orleans should have never been sited below sea level in the first place. The whole area is subsiding. It would be smart but expensive to forbid anyone to return to this area and to refound the town above seal level and let Lake Ponchetrain go. All the marshes and dry land along this section of the Gulf is fast disappearing because the Mississippi is no longer allowed to dump its load of sediments to replace earth lost to the sea.
