Would LSU be more appealing if Baton Rouge cleaned itself up?

Fix the traffic

Obviously

Baton Rouge is pretty nice if you have money and can live in your own bubble

That kind of money insulates you from nearly all the quality of life issues ordinary people face. He can helicopter in from Mandeville every day if he wants to.

How? I've thought about this off and on for years. I think you'd at least 2 more bridges across the River. And you'd need to redo all the exits between 10-110 split and 10-12 split.

No WAY any of that's getting done in any of our lifetimes.

I totally get that certain areas are nicer.

I guess I’m more so talking about the cleanliness. This city is a dump. I’m not saying other SEC cities are perfect by any means but when I drive them, they are all much nicer than what we have here. It’s easy to see why other cities are more appealing to live in.

I just think the city officials should fricking care more in how Baton Rouge looks.

Just don't go down Highland from the interstate. Get off and on at Dalrymple! Either that or take Acadian/Standford. I lived right at Nicholson and Burbank, and I never went up Nicholson or Highland.

Find me a major city that doesn't have its problems. Not saying it doesn't have its problems, but so do places like Austin and Nashville that have been growing like crazy in recent years.

I am a BR guy. I can drive you from the Miss River by Vet School to the Amite River in Saint George and go through nothing but nice areas or nice commercial areas). Nicer homes than you'll see in Gainesville or Starkville or Oxford or Tuscaloosa...new homes and older well-kept homes. Many, many well-kept neighborhoods with very nice homes all across the southern part of EBRP.

Great schools all over BR albeit most are private/Catholic/Episcopal/Lutheran as well as several very good high schools like BRMHS, Catholic HS, St Joseph's Academy, U-High, Dunham, and Episcopal. Zachary schools are very good if you want a far northern burb in EBRP.

Yes, BR has nasty places just like Oxford and Gainesville and Tuscaloosa and Bryan-College Station. But if you move here and have a good income (prospective LSU coaches for example) you wont be spending any time in the hood.
