An opportunity of a lifetime in New Orleans. To rebuild 'as is' would be irrational. Revamping the landscape should be first priority in planning what gets built and where.
"Of the city's 180,000 houses, 110,000 were flooded, city officials say, and half of those sat for days or weeks in more than six feet of water. If up to 50,000 homes are beyond salvaging, many of the others could be saved with expensive repair jobs, but large numbers of homeowners may not have the resources to rebuild. As a result, the number of demolitions could soar beyond 50,000"
