Everywhere I go, outside of the New Orleans tri-city area just feels different and wrong somehow.

I wouldn't call this insanity. I would just call it love. I've never seen any place where the people have as much pride in their city as New Orleans does.

Not to mention that if we didn't keep rebuilding, we would lose one of the largest most important ports in America.

Could you honestly say, that you would just abandon the only place that you can really call home?
Couldn't have said it better, New Orleans culture is something completely different from anywhere I've ever been. I mean I don't live in New Orleans, but I do live like an hour away so I've spent lots and lots of time there and its just something that you have to experience to understand why we keep rebuilding. I live in a small town on the gulf coast of ms and we were destroyed by katrina, but we rebuilt and the community bonded and became much closer than before katrina.
