When I was 17 years old. Always said I would move back to Louisiana one day, somewhere in the country. Where in South Louisiana would be a good place to settle, or should I keep my arse in Atlanta? I was born in Lake Charles, and raised in Lafayette and N.O.

There are tons of good places around South LA to live/settle back down in. Certainly ones that are better than Atlanta.

New Orleans is not one of them. Neither is Lafayette for that matter.

Just because you said you'd return one day doesn't mean you are obligated. There's little to no reason to select this area to relocate.

What's wrong with Lafayette? I always figured it was the best "larger" market in South LA unless you consider the Northshore as a whole.

What are your interests? There are good parts of south louisiana just like there are shitholes.

La ranks low in a lot of things. But do those things affect you? I assume if a person can up and move, they’re fairly well off middle class folks. There are great private schools in Louisiana. There are great hospitals in Louisiana.

I’m not saying Louisiana is the best for everyone but let’s not kid ourselves saying it’s the worst for people that make a decent living and have access to the better things.

(Except for our roads, they’re shite)
