Why are people in the US moving to Phoenix and Miami? One is gonna be buried under toxic dust from its dried out lake and the other will be permanently underwater. Why does New Orleans exist?

? All those places are and will be just fine.

New Orleans exists because those that live there are (mostly) organized and capable.

Ever heard of this thing called Katrina?

That wasn’t even a dramatically extraordinary weather event but a complete failure on the part of your supposedly capable and organized people.

Katrina was a rare event and New Orleans is just fine.
