What is it about Boston that it keeps stealing cool people away from New Orleans?

I was kidding... of COURSE a New Orleans subway is a dumb idea. Wouldn't necessarily stop them. OTOH the idea of a maglev train comes up every now and then, which is a bad idea for the same reason that roads are a bad idea here (the sinking ground).

It is more feasible though. From what I understand, it is possible architecturally in the same way skyscrapers are - by using support systems twice as deep and strong as those of skyscrapers built on non-swampland.
