Is New Orleans worth saving?

I remember when I was in college almost twenty years ago a professor talking about how if a Cat 4 hurricane ever hit the city was done. The Army Corps of Engineers has been working on these levees for over 40 years and the first storm hits destroys the city. The city of New Oreans has thwarted the ACOR recommendations repeatedly because they didnt want to relocate people. Now the talk is that the Corps wont be able to rebuild the levees for 10+ years and even if they do there are no guarantees. Understand that parts of the city are already over 20feet below sea level and with global warming some scientists predict sea levels could rise between 3-20 feet over the next 50 years.
