Deterioration soon follows the permitting of people canvassing motorists at intersections for handouts.

Walmart pulls out
Happened here about 15 years ago, but it was due to low sales.
It was an awesome shopping experience though, never any lines, easy parking.

Vacant, dilapidated homes and commercial buildings, squatters/vagrants, trash, drugs, graffiti. Obviously, Detroit (MI), Flint (MI), Gary (IN) to name a few...
I've personally seen some of these "ghost streets and neighborhoods" in Detroit. It truly is eerie...some of those homes in Detroit were so beautiful as well.

When your city is mentioned in the same sentence as Detroit, then this becomes a good indicator that your city's demographics and voting block (Nola, Baton Rudge et al) are a lost cause.

A lot of that stuff can be cleaned up.
It’s when you start seeing buildings go up in flames that it’s truly rock bottom.
Destruction of property either for insurance money or civil unrest is the most glaring indication that things have gotten totally out of hand. The insurance burning usually comes after the civil unrest
Even then, if there is a lifeline, things can rebound.
Nola has the river. It will never go away so it’s the lifeline that keeps things rolling. That big wheel keeps on turning…

Police force down in officers by over 15% from proper staffing levels.

Nola has become highly reliant on tourism and conventions as the clown mayors with no real business accumen expand that sector. They want the flimsy veneer that comes with tourism and convention. Gambling, tee shirt shops, trinkets, food service and hotels are the game.
Nola, he’s done well with tourism for decades. post Covid, it has done really well with tourism.
Tourists will come but will they come BACK?
Nola; in the state it’s in, is not a place trourists will want to come back to. Too much grafitti, trash, smell, and general crime will deter return visitors.
So there is more to unfold in Nola with respect to tourism. I expect to see numbers drop off considerably in 2024 as conventions look for other areas less dirty and dangerous.

When they start making things openly legal that were previously strictly enforced:
- public camping/homeless
- drugs use
- make public statements to not call police for non life or death crimes
When I can’t stop at a freaking gas station and use the bathroom because the filthy general public has forced the store owners to pull that privilege.

Graffiti
I used to think this but then I went to Europe. Every large city has graffiti it’s just a choice of letting it go or spend money to paint over it. Texas cities thankfully are pretty diligent but it’s still around. Porto Portugal has a ton everywhere, ugly as hell mostly, but it’s also an awesome well run city in many aspects.
