New Orleans east can't support that. There are still thousands of abandon houses there and they want to put an amusement park?

Here is a suggestion. Take whoever is responsible for stealing the federal money that was set aside to clean up the east and hang them from the top of the roller coaster .

It's because the East is so big. Bigger than the rest of New Orleans actually, and has so few residents. Some areas have cleaned up significantly since Katrina. There are some nice areas actually off of Reed and Bullard. But the idea is to draw people from around the area, and then hopefully start building up areas around it.
If you look at most theme parks in the country, they were built on the outskirts of cities. Disneyworld was built in an undeveloped swamp.

Now I get comparing Jazzland to Disney or even Astroworld (RIP) is laughable. But it gave the people in this area an option. Now they can just put in more shade, and misters and it would be fine.

People will go, on average NOLA residents have more disposable income now, than Katrina. Also new barriers and levees should protect against another Katrina.

But you'd better hurry if you plan on doing this yourself. He's about to spend the next 20-30 in protective custody.
