NOLA has NEVER faced reality. It was established on a swampy riverbank and has not improved.

I'm going to a meeting in January hosted by Loyola & Tulane Universities and the State of LA entitled, "WORKSHOP TO ESTABLISH PRINCIPLES FOR COASTAL RESTORATION, POST-KATRINA &
RITA"

I suspect there will be heartfelt discussion. It's an open meeting so if you're interested, PM me.
