We all know Baton Rouge has its share of problems. From HIV rates to being safer than a whole 3% of cities in the US, there is a lot that could and should be done.

You have been given the title of Glorious Leader of Baton Rouge for the next five years. As Glorious Leader, you control Baton Rouge. No one questions your decisions and all of your decisions are final. The catch? You can only fix one major problem. Aside from the issue you focus on, the city operates as usual.

What problem do you pick? What problem do you think would have the greatest impact if fixed? Keep in mind, you only have five years to make a lasting difference.

Economy. Build infrastructure to support something else besides blue collar plant workers.

There are several problems that could be fixed with one solution.

From HIV rates

That stat is misleading because it counts the population at Angola, and every other prison in the area. Angola has a high population of HIV/AIDS patients, and if you broke that stat down further it would show that West Feliciana Parish actually has the highest rate.

The same website says Monroe is only safer than 1% of US cities and Lafayette is only safer than 4%. Hmmmmm.

Education, I'd go back to the neighborhood school system and lose the desegregation busing.

I think with true neighborhood schools then better areas would see better public schools and people would be more likely to live in BR with kids as opposed to white flight to the burbs. This should also help traffic with less commuting, hopefully.

Or it might help nothing.

I'd fix selfishness. From the poor person thinking they deserve something to the rich white guy not wanting a greenway near his house, I think it would fix a lot.
