The brain gain is real, haters. Move over Silicon Valley.

Forbes ranks Greater New Orleans No. 1 "Brainpower City" in the US


quote:

The New Orleans metro area’s population of college graduates grew by 44,000 from 2007 to 2012, a 20.3% increase, nearly double the national average of 10.9%. (The percentage of college grads in the U.S. stood at 19.4% in 2012, up from 18% in 2007.)


It's not all peaches and cream though:

Too late. Although I'd rather have hipsters than those damn gutter punks.

If the hipsters want to take over the ghettos, y'all should just keep your mouth shut and offer to help them move in (gotta be hard on a moped).

Gutter punks are hipsters avant le lettre, just smellier.

Now maybe with all that brainpower concentrated in one area they can finally figure out a way to deal with the strong smell of human urine that permeates a good portion of the city.
