Schwandorf in Bayern The joys of living in New Orleans. If you have a mortgage, you need flood insurance – which in certain areas is like another mortgage. Plus high taxes. And no jobs either.
And the famous water and sewer board, where nothing gets done. New Orleans water is famously filled with all of middle-America’s effluent. Certain things like pesticides and (my personal favorite) prescription drugs can’t get filtered properly. A geotechnical engineer I know here doesn’t even advise showering in New Orleans water. “I guess once or twice isn’t so bad,” he said. “But I wouldn’t do it every day.”
But perhaps it’s not as bad as Chicago! We’ve got this thing and it’s (expletive deleted) golden!
But can the city withstand economic crisis, the collapse of the music recording industry, the uncertainty of weather, the vagabond ways of the Mississippi, the intractable race problems, political incompetence and malfeasance, on top of all the other evils flesh is subject to?
