Yep. But when locals fight against these kind of developments they get called NIMBY's, racists, and rabble rousers. The projects almost always get railroaded through anyway. It's why most people don't even bother to fight anymore. They just leave. The cycle continues.

That ghetto on S Harrells Ferry and O'Neal is pretty rough.

Yep. It happened really fast and it's terrible.

There are countless examples of this kind of crap happening when big apartment complexes get built in nice areas. It never fails, but yet again, we're told the sky is green when we know it's blue.

Prairieville is getting it now. Huge federally subsidized apartment complex on Airline coming up, injected into Dutchtown school district. More developments coming on HWY 42 that get cleared even when the local ordinances deem them illegal. You just can't fight it. I wonder where the next new 'nice area' will be?

Our neighborhood association somehow blocked a development on the vacant land in S Harrells Ferry near Forest Park.

I heard about that. A nice Section 8 complex right in the middle of one of our few good school districts. They are building one right across from L'auberge too I believe.
