Ports further up the Mississippi are more important for geain shipping.
Nope, for the reason that all grain further up must first be loaded onto
barges, then transferred to freighters at N.O.
My suggestion? We need to keep the port open, and other industry in the
area that can't be moved, and French quarter, and perhaps some of the other
historic areas, but let the rest revert back. Put in a good mass transit
line to the area, from a "new" New Orleans, further up the river.
