Tulane Ave is the latest in a list of streets starting to go through its gentrification process.
Yup - and the broad area seems primed with the lafitte green space, whole foods, the changes to bayou St. John.... Might be seeing a nice little bounce all through that area with the biodistrict. add in the broad community coalition, friends of lafitte corridor and the mothership organization (bayou boogaloo) doing good work over there.... It's near a tipping point.
Just announced another big addition to the bio stuff with 150 jobs associated in the 3700 block of either Iberville or bienville too

So increasing housing and tuition that people don't want to be here? Is that like "no one drives anymore, there's too much traffic."

What is the latest with this project?
I rode through mid-city(with a large group from the mothership group) and we rode along that area for a while and I didn't notice any "activity".
That is def. going to be an interesting and great addition to the city.

allegedly broke ground on the stretch from the FQ to galvez this month, i saw pics with a lot of heavy equipment out there and dirt moving - so i think it is in progress officially.... and i hear that in the broad area they are starting to do the prep work to keep things rolling forward
i think that will be a really nice addition over there. between that and the revitalization of the bayou itself there will be some actual nature and outdoor activities available.

Do you mean they are leaving the region completely, or just moving out of Orleans Parish?

New Orleans 2014: There's a bunch of BR ex-pats there now who shite on their old city every chance they get.

It's under construction. Most of the work right now is towards the Claiborne end as they move up into midcity. Broke ground back in April with a 270 day schedule, excluding weather days and other delays that always seem to pop up on projects like this.

Out of the region completely. People don't move here from elsewhere, Central America notwithstanding, to live in the burbs.
A lot of people move here for a few years before grad school as well. But it won't be long before the teach for America kids actually have to live in Chalmette to teach in Chalmette. Rent has doubled in the last 10 years. Teach for America pay has not.

Hasn't rent doubled most everywhere in the past 10 years?

You know, I can post anecdotal accounts as well about my professional degree buddies, and all of them but 1 couple who work in this area live in Orleans Parish.
Where are your links?
ETA: None of them are native to New Orleans, and all but one individual are from out of state entirely.

Can't be from people moving AWAY. And housing stock has been rising since the storm of course.

I get the impression Glassman went to Newman or maybe Country Day. I understand after spending $20,000 a year on high school wanting to send your kid to a prestigious university. What I' don't get are the kids who then go on to OleMiss or Alabama. I mean, why spend that much on high school just to leave the state for the same education you can get at LSU .
And I say this as someone with 3 girls at McGehee.
This is common everywhere. I went to a similar type school in Tennessee and the majority of my graduating class went out of state. In fact, almsot all of the Tennessee kids I knew at LSU went to prep/boarding school for high school.
It's about branching out and getting new experiences if you have the means. Going to LSU over a Tennessee school was one of the best decisions I ever made. I most likely would have ended up at LSU though even if I grew up in La.
And NOLA has it's problems but there's no place like it. I just wish there were better job opps there. If there were, I'd be living in NOLA right now.

Faint praise:
NO East = Armpit for the last 20+ years
Katrina just accelerated the depreciation curve.
There's not enough population density presently to support all the neighborhoods there, it's still got rough times ahead of it.
