It never would have been destroyed because they never would have elected someone as useless as Nagin. They would have reinforced the levies and evacuated the city with the school buses Nagin let drown.
Nagin and Blanco! Ebony and Ivory, working to destory their major cities.

I'm guessing that in the 1700's when they realized they had built the city below sea level, they would have rebuilt it above sea level and none of this would be happening. However, strictly in the present? Same thing. They would be cooperating with each other, rather than the government, to rebuild in a better location and give each other the comfort and aid they need.
Although that's just a guess from the very little I know about quakers.

Well...as a person who lives in NEW ORLEANS I would say that the spirit of the city would die.
New Orleans is more than just a place of diverse people..but a completely different culture than the rest of the country.
There is something very special about this city..and I appreciate everything about it from the lower 9th ward to the garden district..the blanket communties of the northshore.
Quakers are too antisocial to populate someplace like New Orleans.
We talk loudly over tables across cafe's. We all know eachother, whether we've met or not....

They wouldn't have the good cash flow that New Orleans brings in from its Mardis Gras festivities.
