shreveport vs. lafayette business climate

I call on many industrial supply accounts in both cities. Shreveport is riding the start of a 15-30 year wave in the Frac Drilling Industry. Business climate in that area has never been so good.Lots of big boys setting up shop and spending big bucks.If the projections are correct this should continue for quite a while.
Lafayette, tightly tied to Offshore Drilling Industry.Up until the spill it had enjoyed 5-8 years of real good growth but not much diversity. At the present time it stands to get better only because it was so bad the last twelve months.
Having extended stays in both cities I can easily say that I would prefer to live in Lafayette.Anything specific you want my opinion on just ask.

Lafayette did crack the Top Ten "America's Best Affordable Places to Live in 2011" by Yahoo. Thought I would pass this along as Laffy is in this discussion.
