I agree with you re the cynicism.
I would say in these cases though that he levees are the problem. You have silted up channels because the river needs to flood, and the excessive levee system makes that problem more pronounced and contributes to the shrinking of the delta.
That said, New Orleans shouldn’t die. But we’re making the problem worse for most stakeholders in other places.
