Why is New Orleans rebuilt after being destroyed?

just because something goes wrong that doesn't mean that you have to run from your problems. Before the hurricane hit, the city was very popular and many people loved to visit. The other reason is because this could technically happen anywhere-so that is like saying why even build anything because it's going to fall apart anyways.

And if your city was to be destroyed, would you just move on?. . There is a history there. New Orleans remains!

And who gets to decide which cities get rebuilt? . . Should we prohibit people from building homes in tornado country? That costs billions of dollars every year.. . What about all those people next to rivers that flood annually? . . And people living in the shadow of Mt. St. Helens?

But, think of this, the people that had their homes destroyed, it's their home, the place they are used to, where they grew up and made a life and family! Would you want to just up and move if you were forced to, more than likely not, you would want to stay at your roots, rebuild your life in a place where you are comfortable! But i see what your saying, in anothere sense, it is going to cost a lot of money, but it would cost just as much to have those people up and move and get new homes somewhere else! But they already went through a huge tragedy, and leaving what they know would be even more of a tragedy!
