re: Would NOLA's continued rapid decline help or hurt surrounding areas?

As a Mandeville resident, I find this post hilarious.
What reality are you living in dude?
I mean, even the Dirty Dell aint that bad (although us snobby Mandy/Covington/Madisonville fricks will always pretend to be better than them).
Former Uptown, Broadmoor, Old Metairie, Bucktown resident. The Northshore is a goddamn paradise compared to any of those places. Old Metairie might be the only contender.

For the longest time, I could tolerate the laundry list of problems with the City (mostly government-related) because the City had so much else to offer (live music, great restaurants and bars, and a festival every weekend).
The City's response to COVID has all but stripped away those redeeming qualities, and has further highlighted all of its negative characteristics.

at all of you pretending st tammany parish isn't a hotbed of pill mills, heroin, and fentanyl you really have to go out of your way to not see what is going on there. maybe if you send your kids to private school you don't see it as much

You can say what you want about New Orleans but it drives the bulk of the profit in Louisiana even as a shite hole. No one is coming in town to go to a convention in Metairie or Kenner or the North Shore.
As far as real estate goes if you’re unhappy with Nola there’s nothing much better to find in Louisiana, you may have some parishes that run things better and have less crime but Louisiana as a whole is a complete shite hole. I live in Metairie never when I travel do I say you know what I’m happy to go back there, nothing is a shitty as this state.
If it wasn’t for friends, family and investments I would long have been gone. Having a kid on the way even that is not gonna keep me much longer.

sure, it's better than most places in louisiana... but it's still pretty bad.

Another entertaining post. Thank you for this level of hilarity!
I lived there for a long time and now I live here. I see the difference with my own eyes. It is stark. N.O.: garbage (literally). Here: very pleasant place to live.
Public schools vary according to geography but the worst public school in St Tammany is excellent compared to any non magnet in Orleans or Jefferson.
Mandeville schools are among the best in the state... without having to bar any kids based on tests.
That said, now that I made it... you are right. You guys should blow up the bridges to keep us out. Please.

I completely disagree. Even going back just 2 years, New Orleans in 2019 was very different than New Orleans 2021. Obviously, that could be said for most of the world, but here it’s very evident because a lot of what made our city great is no longer happening.
Will it return somewhat? Of course. But with 4 more years of a transplant from Compton calling the shots AND god knows what other natural disasters awaiting us, things will continue to decline steadily.

I seriously doubt anyone on the south shore would notice the bridges were gone.

you are being very disingenuous. i am in no way saying the northshore isn't place to raise a family than orleans or whatever.
i am saying it's not this rich WASPY (well, obviously not the P part) paradise, at all. it has a lot of drugs (and not just the good, rich kid kind) and violent crime.
even the good public schools have a lot of trash in them. the median household income in mandeville is less than 75k/year... that says it all. much of the northshore is just displaced, lower class st bernard yats and kennabruhs.

Covid aside, the New Orleans of 2021 is not appreciably worse than the New Orleans of 2001. Now the New Orleans of 1951 sure, but that’s not really the conversation.

Consider this--they think Draconian Sanctions is a conservative and all of his posts get downvoted to oblivion. It is a very sad lot over there.

They’re losers who didn’t have either the money or the personality to have fun pre-pandemic. They’ve loved the past 18 months of everyone else being forced to live the lame lives they were living pre-2020.

they are very poor. i got bludgeoned for saying something like $1,400/month is not high for a new, luxury apartment in new orleans. all the comments were "who can even afford that other than daddy's money brats?". they have no clue what rental markets look like in cities other than new orleans, apparently.

I used to defend NOLA quite a but....now I find myself rooting for its demise. After a fire has raged and its 75% burned you don't try and put the fire out anymore, you just sit back and watch the blaze finish the job

They don’t see anything odd about being mid 30s and thinking it’s a good deal to pay $700/month for a room in a 7th ward shotgun without central air

What have you seen that makes the northshore this violent and trashy drug and crime haven?
Or are you talking out your arse?
