It's not a rich town by any means, but there's something about it, that when you visit, you can't help but become a fan. It gave the world Jazz music (Jazz fest down there is downright awesome) and fantastic creole/cajun food scene has some of the best chefs and food in the country.
I'd take 1 New Orleans for 10 Houstons or Oklahomas or Cincinattis of the world.
It's nowhere near perfect, but it has something most cities today don't have. Character.

I second basically everything in your post. I've been to NOLA 3 times in the past two years because I love it that much. From the history, to the food, the culture, the music, the laid back attitude towards life, and the bars on Bourbon. Once someone pays the city a visit they will argee New Orleans is worth all the effort put in to rebuild / maintain it. It cannot be replaced.
