Should New Orleans be Rebuilt?

In the face of a lost city, the question is being asked, "Should New Orleans rebuild?" An opinion piece in the Charlotte Observer suggests that New Orleans may have reached its time to abondon itself to the water—to Atlantisize.

If the city is to be rebuilt from the ground up, it should be done so to accomodate the natural waters. Instead of Atlantis, it could be the Venice of the South. With its historical significance, New Orleans won't die. Economic investment can determine how great the New Orleans city can be.
