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

The thing that pisses me off about New Orleans is that it may be one of the only “big” cities in the South with real character, history, and culture. You can’t build that. A city either has it or it doesn’t.

And New Orleans does.

Yet it’s ruined and overshadowed by absolute incompetence that has left a city in wallowing in its own filth.

It pisses me off the same way a kid with all the talent in the world throws his life away over something dumb.
