Mandeville’s lakefront is really nice. Madisonville is small but also nice.

there is movement to start developing the southshore

I agree with this. Lafayette is another example. There’s a river running directly through the city. Only residential developments use for the most part. With very few exceptions. I work on the extreme front end of developments and I’m done before actual construction begins and I dont always know what will be constructed. I worked on a beautiful piece of property on the river years ago. I thought the development would absolutely use the river in its plans. Nope. It’s where Whole Foods is located on ambassador. The only thing on the river bank is a parking lot.

That's not a river. It's a ditch.

BR would be beautiful looking out at all the refineries and plants as commercial airliners fly over

Agreed. It’s not much but it’s something. San Antonio does a good job using the river in development planning. That’s not much more than a dirty ditch.

Hurricanes and affordable insurance (lack thereof)
I have spent 10 years travelling to the PNW and all they have to deal with is large swings in tidal movement, which is why you saw the Columbia so much lower than the piers.
No major storm is coming to wipe out their waterfront restaurants every 4-5 years.
That's why. As much as I would like to blame it on that slimy cocksucker LaToya, this one is not her fault.

Just about all of our waterfront in south Louisiana is in a swampy location, making it difficult to develop.
In addition to wetlands generally being protected ecological areas

Mandeville sort of has some nice property along the north shore.
It’s mostly nice houses, but a few walkable restaurants.
They could do a lot more with it though

Just out of curiosity, how many black people did you see there?
Vancouver, WA
2010 Census

The racial makeup of the city was 80.9% White, 2.9% African American, 1.0% Native American, 5.0% Asian, 1.0% Pacific Islander, 4.3% from other races, and 4.8% from two or more races.

Compare the heat and humidity to south Louisiana vs the Pacific northwest.
A lot of our waterfront areas are surrounded by land that’s unsuitable for development….marsh and swamp. And the waterfront areas that are suitable for development often already have large scale industrial stuff like container ports, refineries, and chemical plants. Nothing tops off a 5 star meal like the breathtaking view of an oil refinery as your backdrop while hearing the horn of a passing tugboat

They tried to build a nice boardwalk here in Mandeville a few years ago. It was (thankfully) voted down.
The last thing Mandeville needs is more people.

All the wayward gunfire would ricochet off the water and kill everyone.

Try to do anything in Mandeville and the old money shuts it down asap.

Water is nasty & muddy
9 months out of the year, it's hot/humid af.
We don't take care of nice shite AND too many trashy people fu** it up.

30 years ago BR tried to develop a downtown riverfront area in the government, north street riverfront areas.
Why didn't that thrive ?

If you’re ever in Monroe/WM, there’s a pretty good restaurant called Trapps. It’s in WM, right on the river, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Monroe and the Ouachita River from your table. Pretty good food too, probably one of the better restaurants up there.
But there aren’t any good views and stuff like that on our waterways. Who wants to watch barges and old men catching catfish, while eating dinner? There’s nothing that appealing about the Mississippi River.
