it was nice just a year and half ago. About 6 months ago, it changed ownership and has quickly taken a turn for the worse. Unsupervised kids everywhere, litter, they even stole the water hose from the car wash bay and the complex won’t replace it. Something changed but my rent just renewed at the same price

Shove them elsewhere.

I think they are around 300k
There’s maybe 6ft between homes & the front yards are tiny
They would be great for retired folks looking for something easy to maintain

I do love the TD complaint circle. First it's how ridiculous rent is in cities like New Orleans, but also no new apartment development which basically every study shows just points to higher rents.
There is likely a not so small amount of posters on here that wouldn’t mind seeing the Fair Housing Act get overturned.

The shite they're doing on Buddy Ellis is mind-boggling stupid. That will be a massive drain on Denham and Walker schools in 10 years, and is already an infrastructure shortfall.
Buddy Ellis, Cockerham Road, and 16 up towards Watson, all have what I’d call hi density developments in progress. I just
Keep thinking about all the traffic once those hoods are filled. Woof.

Already there. Denham Springs will be unrecognizable 10 years from now.
The last time I was in Denham it was unrecognizable.

frick anybody that wants to buy a house for less than $300k.
if suburbs want to stay "nice", they're going to have to make sacrifices. something about eating and having cake.

Denham Springs has been an absolute shithole since I moved to Louisiana during the W administration

Other cities with many of the same problems BR has have figured it out - Jackson, Birmingham etc. I'm not sure why we can't seem to develop a nice suburb or two.

Strict zoning laws. I know in Madison they do not allow apartments or rentals. I believe that's the case in Mountain Brook, AL too.
Central is not that though. I think you'd have to start a new town from scratch to achieve this. There have been apartments and older/lower end neighborhoods in Central for a long time.

i have no facts or numbers to back this up, but i have to imagine places like mandeville/covington would have been better off without the massive developments like the academy/bww/etc on 12, lots of the stuff on 190, etc.
you need people to work those jobs and, well, those people aren't great for the community as a whole.

Madison also has most business made of brick. No signs higher than like 3-4 feet or so. It took taco bell literally decades to get to open up shop because the mayor didn't want an all night food place bringing in people to town late at night.

The problem with this area is that apartments almost always turn ghetto when they get older with very few exceptions. I think some places have a larger enough younger, white collar work force to keep that from happening to the same degree but the BR metro does not.

i want to live in the city or not in the city, not some shitty jv version of the city/suburbs(what denham springs is to BR, or slidell to new orleans).

How are you going to have employees for all of these places when the people making those wages can't afford to live in your Utopia?

If you think about it, many of the upscale communities in Westchester County (north of NYC) and Long Island did this, with the added advantage of having commuter rail connections to the city.
