People are perfectly happy to come and drop hundreds of millions on developing apartment complexes in the CBD for some reason, so why not shopping centers? The good jobs bit I agree with, I am about to leave Tulane with a PhD and barring some remote offers from Houston I can't find a means, motive or opportunity to stay here as much as I enjoy it.

The amount of real estate investment in New Orleans is incredibly low compared to other cities. They build more buildings in Atlanta in one year than they have in the last 30 years in New Orleans.

Still gonna argue that's more politics than fear of flooding.
