re: Spinoff: Why can't Louisiana be more like Texas economically?

Texas has great schools. All that culcha from Louisiana has taken its toll however.

Because Houston and Dallas don't have black people.........



A better argument might be that Houston and Dallas have done their growing post-jim crow. Houston proper went from 900,000 in 1960 to the 2 mil today.

The entire state of Louisiana has added ~1.4 mil+ in that same time period.
