Absurdly high rent prices due to artificially stifled supply. I said miniature

our housing market is a miniature San Fran or Austin.
Austin is cheap af compared to SF. It’s like 1/3 of SF in terms of median home price.
SF median home price is $1.3 mil. Just absurd.

People: Louisiana sucks and everyone is leaving
Also people: why are they building so many houses in Louisiana?

Anyone who is staying doesn’t want to live in NBR or Gardere.

Why can't our local and state governments pass legislation that will only allow developers to build new subdivisions on DRY ground? Southeast BR is loaded with new developments that historically go under water. And I mean like 4-8 ft underwater! Seems to be accepted by local government as they take in millions in property tax dollars...and it just ain't right!
Which new developments go 4-8 foot underwater?

The new one at Tigerbend and Babin Road, the Sanctuary, I believe the name is. It went WAY under!

I just saw one, that has 11 lots on 1.6 acres. Someone told me the lots are going for over 200 each.

Or they build up the land causing the areas around it to become a flood plain.

I am all for development and progress! Just do it in a responsible manner. When the floods return, which they will, it will be another horrible mark for Louisiana....people around this country think we are stupid!

The one off of Burbank that is where the old mode airplane field was for one.
They had to come in and raise that bitch like 10ft. I guess this just means the soccer fields are going to flood more

If it went 4-8 foot under then someone really screwed up.

Thank you! And water seeks the path of least resistance!

It’s already a flood plain of one tributary or another and then there’s the Mississippi River flood plain.

But now it’s not even surface water flooding but simply rain water not being able to make it to the tributaries. It’s bad
Posted on 7/6/20 at 12:06 pm to doubleb
I live 1/2 mile from there.....I witnessed the water level first hand and actually went to object to the development at a city council meeting a few years back. Waste of time, that neighborhood will bring in about $800,000 annual taxes to the city, game over, the council voted unanimously to allow the development with fierce opposition.

I kinda chuckle when you see the new cookie cutter neighborhoods, where they have the "lake views". Then when it rains, the lake comes creeping towards your house and the streets become rivers.

Or if they truck in enough dirt to raise the area up. Or if the homes are built x feet off the ground.

can’t build upward, no building can be taller than the state capitol
Two questions here.. What geographical area is subject to this rule? and secondly, don't the soil conditions next to the river rule out taller buildings in most of BR where they would be wanted anyway?
