It’s more a commentary of this state.
Every time I visit another locale and return to Louisiana, I ask myself why do I stay here. The crime is the big kicker. But alas, I have reasons I cannot drag up and leave like I’d want to.
This. We forget, don't realize, or choose to ignore the reality that other places do not have all of these problems. There are really nice areas where we could live and not be miserably hot all year and not be constantly fearful of crime, and yet we stay.
It's my family keeping me here.

I adhered to this "go nowhere, do nothing" mentality regarding our living situation because of family and am pissed at myself for not leaving sooner.
I eventually realized that it's my life and I don't want to start a family and raise children in New Orleans or quite frankly, Louisiana in general. Now I live in a nicer house and anywhere I go I am met with pleasant, patient people not the New Orleans attitude that is pervasive everywhere there. Roads are better, scenery is better, and the city/state is not actively nickel and diming you at every turn. I can go downtown and park for free and walk around and not have to worry about being mugged, carjacked, stabbed, shot at, etc.
For years it was said that New Orleans is a great place to visit but a shitty place to live. Now it's not even a great place to visit.

How many words do you need to say that you're a pussy? Flotsam floating in someone else's current. You could have everything you desire if you'd just be a man.

When I worked in Denver it had similar problems like this. Airlines don't care about paying baggage handlers decent money because they would rather a higher turnover rate to keep salaries lower.
