While I do agree that living below sea level like that is a bad idea this
was preventable. There was a major levee construction project whose funding
was cut by Bush (~$250 million) If Bush didn't cut the funding the levees
wouldn't have broke so easily like they did.

It's so American. Don't teach birth control, fight abortion. Don't
prepare for mathematical certainty, worship the melodrama of numerically
insufficient rescues.
The only certainty is that Mother Nature is unpredictable. How much
money should we throw at this bottomless pit? If you design levees for a
Cat 3, next time it will be a Cat 4 hurricane. People should not live
below sea level when they are so close to massive bodies of water.
