I know that New Orleans is a historically significant city but reality is that as long as it is below sea level it is going to be prone to flooding. Does it really make sense to rebuild this city?

  Maybe it depends on what you mean by 'rebuild'.
  If it just means putting it back like it was before Katrina, that seems pointless.
  
  But if we value our own, and can fix it where it is safe from Hurricanes, we would be foolish not to fix it.
  
  It is a major port; it has vital cultural and historical value, and its time we spent money on building something instead of blowing things up.
