When even the liberals on r/neworleans are calling for Toya's head...it is that bad.

I can assure you it ain’t NOLA people headed to the northshore who use that bridge every day.

Moved to Kenner during the pandemic. Kept my other properties in New Orleans as rentals. Don't regret it at all. But still want the ability to move back into the city if I want to. I still think that it's demise is greatly exaggerated by those on this board. Hurricane Ida and COVID are temporary things. I believe once those are past us and tourism comes back in full force it'll be fine.

I fall into this camp. I think a lot us have finally realized the New Orleans we grew up in is pretty much a shell of its former self, and will most likely continue to decline.
The post-Katrina era gave us something to cling on to, but that time is over. Covid was the nail in the coffin on that already dying era IMO.

Louisiana needs New Orleans to thrive. I know the OT would rather seem the city go up in flames, but New Orleans going to shite only hurts our state.

So much of this is where you are in your life. I guarantee the baws who grew up in Nola in the 50’s said this in the 80’s, the time many who post here grew up and have fond memories of.
People on here also say the same thing about Baton Rouge.
These cities haven’t changed as much as you have.

Northshore would be more overrun than it is now. If the New Orleans elements makes it here (and really already has in Slidell)...we'll be New Orleans east in ten years.
if it were up to me, both bridges over the lake would be blown.

If you believe that, you're truly dumber that we already know you are.
Shouldn't you have added in an obligatory I love LaToya comment?

Hurt, because New Orleans's decline is not just relegated to crime and government services, but also includes the decline of its primary economic drivers.

I tell myself this every day.

the northshore is full of hard drugs and youths shooting rap videos... and has been for years. it's this lily white paradise so many of yall make it out to be.
i believe the 3rd anniversary of the MPD officer being shot in the head with an ar15 by a fleeing SPS grad just passed.

TD's somewhat recent obsession with new orleans is strange. you can tell the majority (not all) of the people starting these threads aren't from there and never lived there.
i think it's a coping mechanism for the decline of their own towns and cities. look look, it's way worse over there!
On the contrary. a large percentage of these posts come from people who have watched the rapid decline of the city first hand. From a historic standpoint, the city has been in decline for over 100 years. Rapid decline has only been the last 30-40 years. Slight bump post-K. By the mid 2010s, it was obvious that the shite slide is moving faster and faster.
In 1950, New Orleans was a major economic actor on a global scale. What is it now? a "boutique city?" Perhaps. A boutique city with no infrastructure, no police protection, and increasingly no jobs. It has political leadership that actively chases away its tax base. NOLA is fuuuucked.

3. I think the problems in Nola are largely overstated on this website. Latoya is a count, don’t get me wrong but I think TD makes it seem like it’s much worse in New Orleans than it really is.
I don’t know man. The longer you’re out the more you realize just how fricked up it is. Especially when you still have family on the inside.

Don’t listen to this guy. He comes and trashes the Northshore in every one of these threads. No idea why? fricking loser.
Oh and he’s absolutely incorrect. Northshore is awesome.

This. I left the city proper a little over 10 years ago because I did not like the direction. Lived in or just outside the city proper almost my entire life before that. Its descent is obvious. My left of center siblings who remain are seriously considering leaving bc of how bad it is. These were die hard nolaphiles as of a few short years ago.
Many people still in New Orleans (who have a choice to leave) have Stockholm Syndrome. The second they do leave, it's like a giant weight lifts off their shoulders and they are in awe of how awful that shithole really is.
I absolutely love the history, the music, the parades, the festivals, a regular Spring afternoon in the Quarter or Uptown, getting some cannoli from Brocato's, etc etc but the city is going to shite. I truly hate to say it, but it is. Objectively so.

awesome if you want to live in the suburbs but still have:
youths shooting up trucks with extended mag glocks in the middle of the day
gangs and crack distribution rings getting "taken down" with huge indictments
drive by shootings in lacombe and covington
crowds shot up in slidell
full on opioid epidemic
ive got to give covington credit for keeping its gang problem so well hidden
