A guy at work lives on Plymouth. Now, you wanna talk about bad streets? Some of the ones in Bocage are comically bad.

Scruffy was talking about population since the other poster was comparing traffic.

my sincerest apologies sir

Wanted to move back soon, but not at those prices.

New York is one of the global centers of the world, New Orleans has been a declining backwater since 1860 and a shite hole since 1960. What do the enlightened migratory population see or know that the natives don't. Please tell what is New Orleans going to be? All I see is thirty years of unabated crime; the worst public schools in the country; an economy based on sin and music no one really listens to; and economic development in the form of graft to build a massive hospital, an unneeded airport and bribery to keep a third rate football team.

Lotta junk laying around that house. Couldn't afford an interior designer for the pics?

Am I the only one who thinks the pictures are junky?

Well I didn't migrate, but I've gone to a great deal of trouble and expense to get back here and stay. I'm really glad you left since you hate everything about it so much. One of the best things about living here is that everyone loves it, even when it's really hard to love. I suspect that you turned into a fun hating Jesus freak after you left though. But, did you learn to distort statistics in New Orleans public schools? Because they're not actually the worse in the country.

500K in KC on almost 3 acres. Always fun to see and compare what gets you what and where.

I don't understand the traffic argument in Nola.

Sometimes my truck will stay parked for 2-3 days without moving it. Try that anyone else in Louisiana and you've gone stir crazy. People greatly underestimate the benefit of having everything you need within 1/2 mile of where you live.

Probably about 3 months ago, I felt a cold coming on so I wanted to knock it out before I really got sick. I walked 4 blocks to an urgent care, spent $25 bucks copay and was back home in 45 minutes. In Houston, it takes you 2 hours to get a fricking haircut.

Another example was dropping my truck off to have some body work done to it. Took about 48 hours to fix but I walked home 6 blocks after dropping it off & never even missed it. You'd be lost without a car in Baton Rouge.
