The Big Easy is not easy or even that big anymore. Apparently it's not very important to restore this place. Now useless boring stupid dreadful suburbs with franchise restaurants and cookie cutter structures are being built all across the US, while the rebuilding of truly uniquely American New Orleans is stalled in perplexion. Now that N.O. has been wacked, the most vulnerable American unharmed city is ... Las Vegas? Or another sea level city, like NYC, Honolulu, or Miami?
Or crowded little Boston with its impossible traffic, no evacuation possible.
