I'd take a page out of Lafayette's book and build a municipal fiber to the home network, or do whatever it takes to get Google to come build one in Baton Rouge.

It would give homes and businesses super high speed internet for a fraction of the price of what incumbent companies charge now, put Baton Rouge on the map more than it is now, and attract new business based on that kind of bandwidth being available. Multiple companies and business relocated cross country to Lafayette after they built out their network.

Most fixable and which would I love to do are two different things.

Most fixable is traffic. Give Iberville a bridge, and thus build a loop.

Your solution to the problems of Baton Rouge is better internet?

Ascension Parish already has this. Might as well move there with better schools.
