It's not gentrification of New Orleans, it's the typical decline caused by an abundance of apartments in an area. Metairie has far too many and they are getting trashier every year. If you look at the crime maps, those clusters of apartments have always been the focus of crime even before gentrification started.

Like I said in another post, I lived in an apartement on the southside of I10 for a coupleof years in thhe mid 90s. Back then there were around the same number of units that are there now. When I lived there there was not much crime and I didn't feel unsafe after dark. In the past 20 years the demograghics of that area did a 180. As someone else mentioned, I guess it is a Section 8 thing.
