re: If you could change or make 3 laws in Louisiana, what would they be?

1. No SNAP benefits at the grocery store.
Go back to government cheese. Set up satellite stores like the BR food bank all over the state. Nobody will ever get off of food stamps if they get to shop at Whole Foods with other people's money.
2. Proof of insurance sticker on car

Extremely expensive real estate skews those averages tremendously. First-time home buyers aren't buying the averages anyway. Most purchase "starter" homes, as they should.

re: U-High School vs. St. Joseph's Academy
Posted by HouseMom on 5/7/24 at 9:24 am

re: When is it time to change realtors?
Posted by HouseMom on 5/6/24 at 11:36 am
You need to be honest with yourself about the price. Would YOU re-buy this house at the listed price in comparison to other similar homes for sale?
The hard truth is that houses sell themselves. If you have good quality/professional pictures, and the house is in decent shape, clean, and is not f...
