The way the eminent domain law is now in this country under Kelo v. New
London, the entirety of the delta region can be classified as blighted
and seized by the state and given away to any developer willing to
bring it above sea level.

I am hearing that FEMA is talking about paying people large sums to
move elsewhere permanently in exchange for their destroyed property. I
suspect that within a year we'll be seeing a federally funded public
works and development project in the Big Soup that will make the Big
Dig look like a minor highway ramp alteration, to remake NOLA into an
amusement park of a city along the lines of Las Vegas, with embedded
Big Brother technologies throughout, as the 'city of the future'.
