The only way to fix NO would be to scrape the place, barge in 20 feet
of dirt and start over. FEMA won't let you rebuild below sea level
anywhere else in the country. It has to be 11' ASL

The problem with NO is the city does not have a solid foundation, so it
continues to sink.

That shakey foundation includes the mayor and the rest of the folks
governing the city. Those folks have frittered away a pot full of money.
