The hard reality is that places like New Orleans, and to a lesser extent Atlanta, DC, etc. - do not have enough productive, normal (relatively) people in the city core to retake and control the heart of the city in the same way you saw with Manhattan.

Exactly the point I was making. The leverage NY had doesn’t exist in NO; there are no hedge fund managers stepping in a puddle of piss on their way to work in NO.

Atlanta used to have that to a lesser extent but Covid remote work may have killed it. According to some of the things I’ve read it took a damn big bite out of it in NY city.
