Where? Any decent sizeable amount of dry land is nowhere nearby or acceptable to build. The port of New Orleans is the gateway to the Missisippi and conducts double digit commerce in our economy. And the cost of rebuilding a new city would fasr exceed the cost of what is there. If this were to happen to NY or Boston, nobody would consider relocating a city. It would be safer and more practical to rebuild that city and rebuild it in a way that the likelihood of a repeat is greatly reduced. Yes, changes need to be made but New Orleans does deserve to be fixed..
