everyone has different tastes and interests.
Agreed, which is why saying someone who moves to the Northshore must has bad taste is kinda silly.
Whether you are interested in Suburban life or not is not really relevant. Alot of people are, and the Northshore not only offers alot of it, it offers plenty of non Suburban life as well. It is an example of diversity when selecting a home in safe areas, with good schools, suburbia or not.
Those who travel to Baton Rouge frequently (seaosn ticket holders) or go to the Gulf Coast/beach frequently (families) appreciate the ease of both of the drives. From my home to where I park on LSU's campus is have exactly 5 stop signs and two lights and both the lights are in Baton Rouge. Again, it doesn't have to matter to you, or everyone for it to be a bonus for alot of people.
Being close to the heart of Metairie (coming from Mandeville, Covington, parts of Lacombe, Madisonville) or NO east (Slidell, parts of Lacombe, Pearl River) isn't that NOLA East or Metairie is the destination, just an example that once you are there, you are pretty close to wherever you want/need to go. From Lakeside, few places in New Orleans are further than 20/25 minutes away.

The culture that NOLA offers doesn't cease to exist when you move to the Northshore.
Yes. Yes, it does.
Please do explain how those who live on the Northshore cannot experience the culture that is offered in New Orleans?

Not that any of your other points aren't valid, but you have to drive almost an hour to get that Nola culture. It isn't on the north shore. Of course you have access to it, but you don't have it.

Well, for example, I can walk out of my front door and go exactly one block to Magazine St. and take a left or right. I can then walk to dozens of restaurants or bars, shops, galleries, dry cleaner, grocery, etc. I can be at my CBD office in 10 - 15 minutes by driving down beautiful St. Charles Avenue.
Plus . . . the architecture.
Plus . . . a significant scarcity of mullets.
I'm just messing around. Don't be offended.
ETA: Again, though, what about a Twin Peaks?

They can experience. It's just not as accessible considering you have to drive 30 minutes across a lake to get to it.
Oh, and the only good thing to ever come out of Gretna was Mel Ott.

Everyone I know that lives on the NS misses out on a lot of events in NOLA. Main reason is nobody wants to drive across the bridge after cocktailin. For instance after work today I'll go down to the CBD and check out the free concert. North shore people don't do this.

So 6-8 times a year is "frequently" now?

That seems sort of silly when you think about it

You can experience it. You just aren't immersed in it.
