Jackson, MS has Madison which is very nice.

I’ve often wondered why St. Francisville hasn’t developed into a burgeoning suburb.

A few old money families own majority of the land up there and will do whatever it takes to make sure it doesn’t happen.

St Francisville….

I visited SF for the first time in October ‘23 when the weather was cool with low humidity. I was impressed with the upkeep of property, cleanliness, and beauty in the downtown area there. It should be a very nice tourist area based on what I saw.

Land is too expensive for developers to develop and turn a profit. They have adopted planning and zoning to keep the likes of DR Horton out as well.

If I lived in St Francisville this would be my cue to start looking for an exit strategy.

Why would they ever want that?

West Feliciana is strictly anti development. Pointe Coupee isn’t much less relaxed the last few years either. And even WBR is starting to clamp down.

IMO northern AP is pretty nice. There is no downtown though. It’s just an extension of BR.
