Man I'm in Baton Rouge and I haven't turn my AC OFF since 2001.
My neighbor just sold for $280 sf. I was pleased.

Haven't mentioned it in quite a while, but now I know there's a drinking game....
My rent is over $2,000 a month in an area that is "up and coming". In my old area, it was closer to $3k and I lived on the water. In the best areas of the city you're lucky if your rent is below $4k. And this is all for a 1 bedroom! Drunk enough to pass out and let us get back to talking about New Orleans yet?

Metairie isn't all that cheap these days either.
Poors going to have to go to the river parishes.

You've mentioned that before I believe

I totally get that, but by being in a neighborhood near a shitty city, they still live near poor people. If you're in an already nice neighborhood outside the city, then property values will still keep those undesired out of the area. It will only help those property values as well.

It's my only frame of reference and example that I have from personal experience. So sorry if I offended you. Now kindly get the frick over it, because I genuinely am curious about this topic from a New Orleans point of view.

The poor people can't afford the good areas in Metairie. They also don't have access to public transportation in Metairie as they would in OP. Maybe all the poors will continue to flood NOLA east and the Wank.

Is that a month or year?

Looking to take another shot? Because it degredates the integrity of the game if you are goading me into making you drink.

There really is nowhere else for them to go. B
I'm interested to see what happens when this bubble bust, I live here and I don't know where the money comes from to afford these 600k and up houses.

Old Metairie IS an urban area. What are your friends seeking? Higher taxes? Slower emergency response times? Higher crime? More potholes?
I grew up in New Orleans (Broadmoor). It never occurred to me to ask my friends what they were seeking by moving to New Orleans. But I assume they are not seeking those things you mentioned, but are obviously willing to put up with those things in favor of other things that New Orleans has to offer. I get the feeling that, for youngish families with some money, living in New Orleans has become something of a status symbol, regardless of the OT's opinions of the city.

Yes, parts of metairie are expensive but there are also affordable parts as well. Like others say, the outcasts probably go east first.

Ultimately many of the poors aren't going to leave OP. Their hood, their free money, they're not leaving.

There are other places for them to go, it's just further out than you'd think.
Some cities that I've seen have astoundingly nice cities and surrounding suburbs, and you have to go 45 minutes outside the proper city limits before getting to a poor neighborhood. It doesn't happen overnight, but it does happen

I agree with the status symbol comment. Many of those folks think lake view is an affluent area. Speaking of lake view, seems half the new construction their is cheap garbage.

You really don't understand NOLA or the surrounding areas.

East, Wank, Laplace, Slidell....but the group we are speaking about will never leave their hood.

With flood insurance( which will continually rise) and property taxes I wonder the same thing.
