re: Is increasing Taxes the solution for NO?

Increasing taxes can hire more police force and give incentive for big businesses to invest in NO again. Is that the solution? Would you support it?

Assuming you mean "the final solution," then sure. NO is already in a death spiral, but raising taxes certainly could speed it along.

There's also zero evidence that they'd use extra tax money to improve public safety or that the reason New Orleans is collapsing into anarchy has to do with a lack of tax money.

If it's about money, maybe don't blow 30 million dollars on a train line that will never be built and spend that on policing instead. And even then, you'd need a DA and mayor that actually cared about stopping crime.
