Is NOLA the most dysfunctional major American city?

Baltimore is worse. But New Orleans in catching up.

It's Oakland, CA. What an absolute shiithole. The homelessness problems around Oakland push the levels of dysfunction to the top of this list.

I wouldn’t really call New Orleans a major city. Population isn’t that high relatively and it’s not some blooming business Mecca. It’s a crime ridden shite hole run by incompetent fricktards.

I wouldn't count BR & Jackson bc they're just not major cities

Neither is New Orleans. Population under 400k doesn't even crack the top 50 cities in the country. Wichita and Tulsa have more people than the city of NO. Only Orleans proper is completely dysfunctional. Neighboring parishes that make up the rest of the NOLA metro area have their shite together.

I never understand why people say NOLA isn't a big city. There are over 100,000 cities and towns in the country and New Orleans is around number 50 in population. Of course it's a big city.

I dunno. I was recently in Seattle and I think that place is worse in its own special way.

There's levels of dysfunction.

Seattle in its own right is a terrible city currently but compared to NOLA I know I'll at least survive

DC sucks, only propped up by federal infrastructure and outside money but even still egregiously bad

I hate the city and wouldn’t cross the parish line if I didn’t have to, and it is run by a bunch of dumb fricks, but so is every other Democrat run American city.

However, some of y’all don’t know shite about the city, ya’ll just piss on it because the crime situation and what’s going on in politics.

Tourism area vs outside of tourism area. It's just like taking a trip to a Mexican resort. Don't venture out of the resort.

New Orleans is actually not AT ALL like a Mexican resort because the tourist areas of New Orleans are actually extremely dangerous, and criminals purposely target tourists because it’s safer and more lucrative to go after them than the other locals. In most tourist cities, criminals are heavily punished for going after tourists, and tourist areas are patrolled and maintained at all costs. That is NOT the case in New Orleans.
