    Dear Senator / Representative:

    Please elevate the problem faced by our most critically challenged metropolitan area, New Orleans.

    Southern Louisiana is facing 7 to 23 feet of sea level rise and the loss of three-quarters of its remaining coastal wetlands, which will cause the shoreline to migrate as much as 60 miles inland.

    Compounding the sea level threat, New Orleans is sinking at the rate of one to two inches per year.

    Even if factors contributing to rising sea levels were to magically stop today, New Orleans would still become an island within generations.

    Rather than investing in more levees that will merely postpone (maybe) the inevitable, political leaders of all stripes should be supporting and encouraging a complete revamping of the New Orleans area.

    It is impossible to keep an island situated below sea level afloat. There’s no amount of money that can do that.

    We must begin tackling climate change impacts.

    Throughout history, cities have relocated. Save New Orleans and all of its cultural history by moving the parts that can be saved and encouraging people to relocate.

    I love New Orleans, but in my lifetime, I will see it disappear. Save what can be saved.

    "New study estimates New Orleans could be under water by end of the century

    A recent study published in the Nature Sustainability Journal has concluded that New Orleans has reached a 'point of no return' and will be surrounded by the ocean in decades because of the climate crisis.

    The new paper estimates that the city may be surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico before the end of the century because of rising sea levels, coastal erosion, global heating and strengthening hurricanes.

    This means that low-lying southern Louisiana faces multiple threats, and that the process of relocating people from New Orleans should start immediately, says The Guardian."

  5. "Arénas is a contemporary reimagining of #NorthAfrican #Jewish #music, where traditional #Moroccan textures meet electronics, horns, and sampling.

    Shaped by migration, memory, and the energy of the #diaspora, the #album draws on the #artistic worlds of #NetaElkayam and #AmitHaiCohen, alongside influences from #NewOrleans. Across seven extended tracks, Arénas unfolds as an immersive, trance-like listening experience.

    Echoing her grandmother’s birthplace in #Tinghir, #Morocco #Elkayam developed an intimate dialogue with her ancestral memory, writing #lyrics through cyclic structures and repetition, and choosing her mother tongue—#MoroccanArabic—as the language of her #art. In close collaboration with #musical #producer Amit Hai Cohen, the #music was co-written and composed, taking shape through a blend of electronic and acoustic #instrumentation. Both trace their family roots to #Amazigh villages in Morocco..."

  6. Christopher Ard in The Lens: Why The Guardian’s new article about New Orleans feels like ‘a modern day redlining of an entire city.’
    "Understand how the term relocation hits when you use it for those of us who have made lives here," writes 11th-generation New Orleanian Christopher Ard. "Maybe try 'abandon' or 'give up on.'"

  7. New Orleans legacy street furniture - this afternoon I spotted new-to-me address number tiles from before the 1894 renumbering by block number. They're in rough shape, but they have been obsolete for more than 130 years.

    Current 1700 block of Bienville Street.
