It's a white woman's paradise out here. Spas, resorts, shopping, bars, great restaurants. Good public schools for the kids. Tons of parks to jog/bike/walk in. Plenty of golf courses for their husbands to play on while the women brunch and drink mimosas on a patio somewhere. Lots of places nearby to hike and be outdoors. Any type of trendy workout studio you could desire
Sounds like my personal hell.

What about Sedona then? That place is another type of paradise. I would love to retire there.

Baton Rouge:
School (for at least another year) and my wife's job.
South Louisiana:
My awesome group of close friends
Food
Culture
My PITA family
My wife's awesome family
My band
If we leave South Louisiana, the only reason will be because of work.
I actually kinda like BR. I would love to live in Spanish Town or Bouregard Town, but Mid City, where I live now is pretty nice. Outside of a couple weekends in the summer and around Christmas, there's good bands playing and festivals near every weekend. LSU sports are fun. Mid City is convenient to everything. We can walk to our church which puts on a ton of events. We are friends with our neighbors. Our families are close by. Several awesome restaurants in walking distance. We have several bars and restaurants where we know everyone. It's a pretty good life.
If we were to leave BR for any reason other than work, it would only be for Lafayette (her family), AP (my family) or Covington (she couldn't take living in NOLA)

You do realize that crime absolutely plummetted between 1993 and 2015, right?

No frame of thought or even considered leaving.. Can't find neighbors like you find here anywhere else. Representing for life

You obviously haven't been many places in the South. It absolutely has shitty parts, but it definitely isn't the worst.
What? Literally the only worse places in the country I've been is Newark and Detroit. I would live in Fayetteville, Jackson, Orlando, Houma, and even Mobile way before I even considered moving back to the shite hole that is Baton Rouge.

I'm doing pretty well here and this is where most of my family and friends are

I'm glad my immediate family no longer live in LA. Now I never have to set foot in that state again if I chose to....unless I want a getaway to NOLA or family or a friend there dies. Those would be my only reasons to return at this point.

From the way y'all talk I assume it is the roads.

I could see Thibodaux, but I don't think I'd prefer Houma over BR, but Jackson and Orlando? You've got to be kidding me. Those cities have all of the worst parts of BR and none of the benefits. At least Orlando has theme parks. Jackson has nothing. Mobile is sorta close to the beach and Fayetteville seems pretty nice, I guess.

Plenty of other places have shitty roads. Maybe even objectively shittier roads.
But SELA roads are just shitty in such a unique way that's kind of hard to describe if you've never experienced them and don't have the same frame of reference.
I guess it's the actual roads themselves combined with the same flat dull scenery mixed with omnipresent trash and shared with sociopathic brain damaged drivers.

New Orleans has roads that are impassable. The rest of SELA has passable roads that lack capacity, mostly due to the fact that the ACOE won't allow us to build in swamps anymore, so we can't widen our highways.
There are bad drivers everywhere, but the litter here is insanely bad.

Anybody who says they'd live in Jackson, MS over Baton Rouge needs to have their head examined. As far as Mobile, the best thing about the city is its close proximity to the beach.
If Baton Rouge can make it through the next 4 years under Broome, it can survive just about anything.
