The ocean is working on it. Current projections show New Orleans being mostly underwater in the next <100 years.

Same with Miami (and others). Climate is a changin’.


2 things on this.

they’ve been almost completely wrong in their projections so far (if they were right, i’d already be under 6 feet of water where i’m standing right now). so sorry if i don’t cower in fear at their future guesses.


secondly, Louisiana’s problem is erosion way more so than sea level rising.
and at least 90% of that problem is caused by us trying to control the river.

I love the French Quarter, the garden district (Commander's Palace!) and uptown but much of the city really needs to be flushed out

most of that city is a 3rd world shithole.

they had their chance to start over.
but decided to double down on bringing back (without fixing/improving) and expanding on the worst parts of the city instead of try to grow the parts that people actually want to visit.

They turned it into an even bigger housing project haven't been there since Katrina used to go twice a year

you ain’t missing much.
in typically NOLA (and Louisiana fashion) the money all gets allocated to the “disadvantaged” parts of town.
but then never gets spent on anything you can see in those parts of the city.

where does it go?

i have my guesses.
