Because it was fantastic for the mode of transportation available at the time. It was a good place to build a city. At that time we did not know that tectonic forces were causing a thinning of the plate that New Orleans and much of the east was sitting on was causing the subsidence of the city. 3 feet every 100 years in fact, not a happy number when you are a sea level port city. Coupled with the receding of the delta due to natural and man made changes, and the raising of the sea level due to global warming or whatever, you have a disaster waiting to happen. And it happened. More below. Then it had momentum which brought us to the present point. Are you suggesting the New Orleans be rebuilt at a different location, or not be rebuilt at all? It is not a good idea to rebuild the city of New Orleans in it's present position. While New Orleans is sinking, the rest of the area is sinking also. The Mississippi will almost certainly change its course soon. It "wants" to start entering the Gulf of Mexico to the west of where it does now, and it will probably do so through the Atchafalaya river. SO we could rebuild the city, and it might not matter. - Mike KB3EIA |
