It's like Sodom and Gomorrah... o_O

I heard the mayor was considering condemning the entire city and rebuilding somewhere else, considering how the entire city is infested with rats, snakes and alligators, but I think they've dropped that idea and they're going to go ahead and try to rebuild, though it may take as much as 40 years before they're back to normal again.

Yikes.
