re: Why do so many people on here badmouth New Orleans?

I just can't figure out why mouth breathers get so much joy and satisfaction slamming Nola and declaring it a shithole. It's better than 99% of the rest of this ignorant cesspool of a state.

I hear shite hole used a lot, but can't figure out why 10 million people decided to visit here last year with more to come next year.
How is it that a shite hole has built all of these new condos and urban developments as well has almost every neighborhood going through gentrification. As a result real estate prices are soaring because people are wanting to live here.

It has problems no doubt, but it's not a 90% welfare queen project living shithole like many try to claim.

This is the attitude that is going to hold New Orleans back. I like to visit the city, but I'd never live there. Politicians don't do anything, you're not safe in neighborhoods that are 1MM plus to get in, and you're literally hours away from losing everything you have due to rain. No reasonable person would say the city doesn't have many redeeming qualities; the food, fun, and culture are great. That doesn't mask the glaring problems the city has, and residents would rather argue how great it is and how stupid everyone that disagrees with them is rather than fix it's problems.
