Spinoff: NOLA is gentrifying because it's BOOMING!

[Repeat post because it deserves it's own thread]
Why gentrification is happening...
The New Orleans' BioDistrict, a Model for Industry Collaboration
Location Notebook: Economic Innovation in the “New” New Orleans
...the consequences...
...the future...
The New Orleans model for revival after Hurricane Katrina
The conclusion? Gentrification is inevitable now. If you are a New Orleans resident, or planning to be, and you have concerns, then make your voice heard. Read up on on new developments, compare the effects similar developments had in other cities. Educate yourself, then act on what you learn.
Why gentrification is happening...

Spread over 1,500 acres across downtown New Orleans, BioDistrict New Orleans will be one of the largest developments in the world of biosciences. Its mission is to create a state-of-the-art development to support bioscience research and industry by bringing together hospitals, medical schools, and economic development organizations. BioDistrict officials say their model of industry collaboration is a unique partnership of industry, educational institutions, and private enterprise that will not only result in better healthcare but also provide a major economic impact for the region.
One of the flagships of the BioDistrict is the new $1.2 billion University Medical Center which, when completed in 2015, will be one of the largest of its kind in the country. The 424-bed complex will serve as a world-class teaching facility for up to 2,000 medical students.
The New Orleans' BioDistrict, a Model for Industry Collaboration

As New Orleans approaches the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina in 2015, the city is in many ways barely recognizable to what it was years ago. Economists and national publications say it has undergone one of the most rapid and dramatic economic turnarounds in recent American history.
Recently, The Wall Street Journal called it the most improved metropolitan area in the country; the Brookings Institute identified it as the top-growing metro area for employment, and Forbes ranked it the number one metro area for IT job growth.

"Neighborhoods that a decade or two ago were viewed as dirty, dangerous and disregarded now rank among the region's hottest real estate markets," writes Richard Campanella in his latest Cityscapes column.
...the future...
quote:
New Orleans has become a hub for startups, a seedbed of social innovation, a model of school reform and a magnet for educated young people. Citywide we are seeing progress and growth across a number of measures, including economic development, health care, flood protection, ethics reform and K-12 public education

Cool post.
National publications have been writing great stories on the N.O. transformation for five years now, but I'm still amazed at the people who are ignorant of the fact of what is going on here and want to stick with the old belief that the city is full of projects and is 90% wellfare queens.
I love riding my bike around different neighborhoods and seeing the changes. Went around the Irish Channel area not long ago and it seemed like every block had two or three new construction or major renovations going on.
If we can get these very small groups of scum to quit killing each other, things will even get better.

My only question from the OP might be the cool vs uncool map. The Tulane Ave. area is shown as not being cool. Seems that has been changing over the past year and is about to change at a much greater pace.

is the booming causing all these potholes ?
Posted on 6/20/15 at 7:57 am to TigersOfGeauxld
Is all this booming still below sea level?
Posted on 6/20/15 at 7:59 am to gthog61
all that booming still mostly needs to go to Catholic and private schools...

Curious s to why the Claim of the UMC being "large"....424 beds is a fairly small academic medical center

This is the best advice. Follow RPC and GNO announcements. Go to council meetings. Go to planning commission meetings. When you get the flyers in the mail saying there is a community design charrette for the park down the street, go to it. Call your council person. Get educated on the new CZO. People have more influence on the ways their cities grow than they realize.

So one day, it will be a really pretty city to get shot in
Posted on 6/20/15 at 8:37 am to theunknownknight
I've only been shot 12 times. That's the least of anyone I know.

I live in the uncool part of town. Damn you hipsters!

It's getting better though. Ben Franklin and Lusher are kicking arse and many of the charter schools are getting better and better.
What's wrong with catholic and private schools anyway? No matter where I lived in LA, my kids would be going to a catholic school.
Posted on 6/20/15 at 8:57 am to notiger1997
There's nothing wrong with them,but a lot of people can not afford them. Not everyone wants the religion aspect as well.

$$$$
I have 3 kids. That tuition would add up.

most of our gentrifiers are coming from out of state where they don't really have Catholic and private... heck most probably aren't Catholic to begin with

I'm going to compare the school issue to living in Houston because we love to do that here. All my friends inside or near the loop in Houston sends their kids to private schools. It isn't until you get 45 mins plus out of downtown that I know people who send there kids to public schools. If you want to live 45 plus mins outside of downtown New Orleans you can most definitely send your kids to public schools here too.
