re: Why does New Orleans have more murders than similar cities?

Lessiz-fair lifestyle


1933 - public works department created the Emergency Housing corporation
1934 - National housing act of '34
1937 - US Housing Autority was created.

And so on and so on... this is the time period you created these huge arse projects in the urban centers.

1944 and the next couple decades during and post war you had the Serviceman Readjustment Act (GI bill)
1947 - Congress est the Housing and Home financing agency

-The VA, HOLO, FHA
-'exclusionary covenants' were written into title deeds and r al estate neighborhood redlining.

-suburban expansion post-war took off while many blacks in the south were effectively barred from homeownership.

-in the race to the burbs, business and manufacturing followed the middle class

Leaving these massive projects like the St Thomas and Desire to turn into breeding grounds for the poor.


New Orleans was on the forefront of all this meddling by the federal government into housing and what we have now is the end result.

Votes being bought off with handouts and poverty breeding poverty with violence breeding more violence


Now you have nola
