![]() maybe i wasn't clear about what i mean in my earlier post. the govt doesn't build cities, or re-build them. if business and industry wants to stay there, they will IF they have people there to employ. People will want to stay, as not everyone is ready to throw in the towel any time you have a disaster. after all, if we all automatically hit the road after any and every disaster, there would be nowhere left to live. between floods, fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes and blizzards, there is no safe place left. but it's not the govt who will ultimately decide if, when, or how much of new orleans rebuilds. it's the people--they need jobs, and companies will come if they have a viable workforce. you can't have either one of those without the other. the govt helps by providing small business loans, low interest rate loans for those who had no flood insurance, etc. after all, who would WANT the govt to be in charge of the rebuilding? all they know is low bid gets the job--which explains why the levees failed to begin with!!
