If it were your home it might be worth $32 large. If the Saints promise not to come back it might be worth twice that.

No, but there's a few nice houses in California that are.

No tax money to rebuild. If the residents want to rebuild, have at it.

I may be a little biased because I lost my home in Biloxi to the same storm, but imagine that a large percentage of your home town, say KC, including Arrowhead was destroyed. Would you want some tax dollars to help make it livible again?

Absolutely. Wait, we're talking about pesos, right?

Turn the 9th ward and all the other lowest-lying property into flood plains. No taxpayer money should be spent on re-building houses that are going to get flooded again. This should lower the $$ amount needed considerably.
Build Category 5 floodgates, re-establish the marshland that acts as a natural flood break. Spend what is needed to restore the French Quarter, the Garden District, and any other historically significant areas. New Orleans is part of America. We should take care of our own to the extent that it is feasible and sustainable.

I recently read somewhere that coastland erosion will overtake the city within 90 years. If this is true there is no way one could justify that kind of expenditure.

They should rebuild it to attract upper middle class and above type people while they have the chance.

So, $32 billion is too much to spend on New Orleans, but it's OK to waste several hundred billion on Iraq...even though a civil war is almost certain to occur shorty after our withdrawal?
Most of you fuggers would support spending $30 billion to rebuild Branson, MO., just so you could continue to marvel at Glen Campbell's act. Yes, New Orleans should be rebuilt, better than it was before, at any cost. Even though there are quite a few African-Americans there.
