Yup - There are TONS of homes all over the country where they could relocate to. Heck Shaw, It would be A LOT cheaper to move them than rebuild and TRY to protect that which has failed repeatedly. As tw pointed out, this wouldn't be the first time this would have happened either. Some of that are is just really uninhabitable and should remain that way.

Why don't you read my other posts for a reason other than "there are a lot of places to live." I understand there is a lot of land. read my posts. kthx

I also understand that I doubt a lot of these povery-stricken folk could afford or would be welcome in some of your hoity-toity McMansionvilles in which some of you reside.

Also, I am very happy that you and tw agreed on something. I was thinking something about dogs and cats.

It is all about choice. They choose to stay. They will have to start over again. So where is all that wasted money? All those RV's? I just can't see continuing to throw money at a place that is in such great jepordy. Any coastal city is at risk. Few if any are below sea level.

Well, if you read and understood my posts (not saying you have to agree, but that you got the gist of my thoughts on the subject) then you should know that the response "there're all kinds of houses all over the place" did not address what the hell I was talking about.

Are you asking if I disagree that it isn't fair or it'll be hard or or or or.... perhaps I didn't mention that part cuz there wasn't any disagreement there.

Still - Whatever! The parts of the fucking city that are underwater should be given back to mother earth who rightfully reclaimed them with Katrina.
Rebuild safely nearby or go all the way to friggin Alaska - doesn't matter to me.

I got your point - but its the same as those whose homes burn repeatedly in forest fires.
STOP TRYING TO LIVE THERE.
Just my opinion, unpopular as it is. I still get to type it. Pbbbblllllt

I think it's beautiful that tw and classicman are in agreement.

We should all pause to remember this moment.

I'll bet UG will find a way to disagree with all of them (in fact with everybody) because - you know what's coming - they don't understand because they're not as smart as he is.
