Will Gentrification Ever Happen in Baton Rouge?

Of course urban areas and even to the point of using land/tear down in older subdivisions to build newer homes. Sherwood, Broadmoor, Tara etc…..

Nope. The area is too far gone, and certain interests have much invested in the maintained poverty of the city.

15 years ago most of America was pointing and laughing at Detroit which had become Hell on earth and was lost forever. Slowly they are recovering, and Baton Rouge/New Orleans is descending to that shitty level. So presumably the cycle could come back around, but Louisiana has some of the worst leadership and most troubled populace in the country.

Unlikely imo on any sort of large scale. You'd need jobs that attract young professionals and we simply do not in big numbers.

Happening big time in Old Goodwood and has been going on for years in the Garden District and Capital Heights

Isn't there some of it going on in Mid City and down government?
If you go to mid city beer garden its filled with hippies who bring their dogs.

The state would have to change first, then the reflection of that would be evident.
Jobs, money, opportunities, laws, etc

Why would you need to tear down those houses? Most are better built than what you get today. They are typically large floor plans with decent sized lots and they actually have trees unlike so many neighborhoods built today.
Sherwood is huge, some filings are straight trash but it isn't the homes, its the people.

People would have to want to live there.

Might need a couple of rounds of it, actually.

I would have mentioned the Tigerland area

Mohican Crossover area is an untapped gem.

No, there’s no new business coming in to support the need for more safe housing.
Jesus, just move to Texas already, Louisiana. Food, family and booz doesn’t come with safety, opportunity and a better quality of life in general.

We are becoming a shithole country in general no matter where you go. We build things and places that aren’t worth caring about. We have trashed money. Nobody can delay gratification. Meritocracy is no more. Laws are selectively applied. Need I go on?

One of these is not like the others.

Would need to attract the proper industry there. The government not really going out of their way to be business friendly

Gentrification requires affluent investors with a desire to relocate to older/poor areas. Baton Rouge has a lot of competition and little to offer. I could see this happening in New Orleans, but Baton Rouge really has nothing other than LSU athletics.

I own an entire city block on scenic hwy around Exxon. You couldn’t sell it and buy a new Tahoe.
Gentrification would be awesome.
Only thing I can think to do with it is open a jail.

I mean, a lot of Baton Rouge has already gone through significant amounts of gentrification. Spanish Town was gentrified in the late 80's and 90's.
Capital Heights was all the rage in the 2000's and early 2010's.
Currently, the area along Nicholson between LSU and downtown is being gentrified.
The problem is that for every neighborhood that gets gentrified, two formerly decent neighborhoods age out and go to crap.
