how could it cost more than what the environmental clean up is gonna be?
bury it.
build a new port.
move everyone inland, move the historical buildings bulldoze the rest an
use it for landfill for the port.

or you could donate it to al queda for their new onshore training grounds.

|
| It's might be a good idea to move to higher ground.
| Unfortunately, the cost would be beyond the national budget.
| Even with the massive damage seen so far, much of the city can be
| repaired and rebuilt for far less cost than starting from
| scratch.  Can you imagine the price tag on building a complete
| new city of 2+ million people?
|
| Obviously, the human cost of repeating earlier mistakes is beyond
| a price tag, but not in the minds of those who control the
| national purse strings.  The administration only wants to spend
| unlimited funds on war.  "Homeland Security" is a practical joke
| played on the American people by the Bush administration.
