Kelman article

Kelman's article would cause people to strongly consider the possibility of not rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He gives many points that defend this position. He discusses how the location and environment of the city are great disadvantages when it comes to weather and natural disasters. He brings up the good point that it is a very suitable place (situation) for business, but then states that the site of the city is more critical, and concludes that it is not a good place for a city such as New Orleans to be located.

I agree to your statement. I also believe that most people who read this article will see how it would not be a very good idea to re-build. He does point out the advantages and disadvantages.

I agree with what you said in your article. By Kelman backing up all of his reasons why it should not be rebuilt it makes the reader agree with what he is saying.
