Porque no los dos? Keep the port and relocate the rest of the city. It's not that you need hundreds of thousands people to run port facility. Damn, if you even need 500.
The rest of the population are hospitality workers and ambulance chase lawyers.

Ask not whose ambulance is being chased, one day it’ll be thine with that flippant attitude. Not everyone down here is paid by the hour.

I don't know if you're trolling or just actually ignorant.
Nola has the highest port tonnage in the country. The impact on GDP is estimated in the hundreds of billions. There's also billions and billions of dollars of infrastructure here. Most goods that pass through to the midwest and many through the rest of the country come through here.
Without Nola, hundreds of billions of dollars of the economy will go away. Gas prices set a record after Katrina.
14 billion is a bargain to keep this city going.
