Under water (Score 1)

No crap its underwater neworleans itself is underwater. Human ingenuity is a great thing but there are some areas where you just have to cut your losses and trying to maintain a city that is below sealevel on the coast is one of them. Of course if you wanted to build a giant unpentetrable wall around new orleans then maybe you could live there. But even if you did you would still have to deal with the fact that eventually it will end and then how do you get sewage out and maintain drainage.
