In the case of NO, the city is a vital deepwater port at the mouth of a huge
river that accesses a huge portion of the country. It pretty much has to be
where it is.

I wonder if the insurance companies (and the federal government) will
FINALLY wake up to the fact that building permanent structures below
sea-level in a hurricane zone is folly?

It is time for the federal government to tell local and state governments
that federal tax dollars will no longer be spent to rebuild in areas like
coastal plains (flooding, storm surge), river valleys (flooding),
earthquake faults (self explanatory), unstable hillsides (mud slides),
etc., which are zoned residential.
