re: Do you see any Cities in Louisiana with a promising future?

I’d say Lake Charles and/or Lafayette are the only hopes left. All others are too forgone in crime, poverty, etc.

Plus the stereotypes with demographics seem to still be good enough to have promise. State politicians will eat on this tho.

Overall, the further you get away from the Mississippi River, the better life is. The further you get out of the state itself or best case scenario.
