I have never seen a section 8 home "bring up" a neighborhood.
In fact pretty much anytime section 8 infiltrates a neighborhood. That same neighborhood is tGhetto in under 5 years or less.
As others have alluded too, there is almost zero middle to upper middle class jobs to help push the trash out.
So now the inmates run the asylum and there is no amount of federal funding that will make a turd look pretty.
You fricking cant legislate poor people into prosperity. It's a way of thinking and doing.

Must be real nice to live in a beautiful property for next to nothing while spending your day getting drunk or having BBQs with your family that also does not work.
What a huge slap in the face to every property owner and hard working resident in the city.

I was going to vote for Charbonnet but no fricking way will I do it now. I am hesitant about Bagneris but with Frank Stewart and Jay Lapyere backing him well that is a big deal for me. I've gone before Bagneris in court and he was always fair to deal with but I am a little concerned about his leanings. Those concerns are now in the garbage because of Charbonnet's position here and her pay to play fundraising campaign or worse the prospect of a Cantrell as mayor.

Somewhere Ray Nagin is smiling. Maybe he will get his Chocolate City back

Government should not be in the business of telling people what they can do with their property to this extent.

Short-term rentals “can change the character of our neighborhoods and remove affordable rental housing from the market,” Charbonnet said.
So can making subsidized housing available in areas it previously wasn't.
You guys in NOLA are so fricked. I feel bad.
Where are these homes? Just rebuild the neighborhoods that Katrina leveled. Make the housing in Towers So they can't flood. Won't that be nice?
The Quarter will look like old pictures of the Bronx from the 70's.

I just wanted to point out that there are plenty of apartment/condo developers out there who from day 1 offer a percentage of their units at costs based on a sliding income scale. In Dallas - many service industry workers, grad students working internships, single working mothers, recent college grads, etc... take advantage of these offers. There are usually a handful of Sec 8 families in the mix - and these are usually pointed in the complex's direction by a panel and screened from the applicant pool just like anybody else who want to move in. People who live in these communities/complexes are often aware they may be paying more than some of their neighbors...the trade off being that full-rent units are closest to the pool, have a better view, etc...
There are many good, regular folks in NOLA who work hard and are still in need of assistance. They have kids who learn values at home and pay attention at school. I would have no problem if these people got an "extra leg up" via housing that is set up with "a diversified mix" in mind from the outset. There is PLENTY of space within the New Orleans city limit to develop properties in this way. Maybe she should pressure some multi-unit rental developers to "build a better NOLA" instead of targeting taxpayers and tourists.

Sounds like Charbonnet wants a full blown ghetto city and wants to alienate the white voters.
It feels like this is what NOLA leadership has wanted for some time now.

For sure...but there are also a lot of section 8 crack houses too.
