A lot of that stuff can be cleaned up.

It’s when you start seeing buildings go up in flames that it’s truly rock bottom.

Destruction of property either for insurance money or civil unrest is the most glaring indication that things have gotten totally out of hand. The insurance burning usually comes after the civil unrest


Even then, if there is a lifeline, things can rebound.
Nola has the river. It will never go away so it’s the lifeline that keeps things rolling. That big wheel keeps on turning…

Nola has become highly reliant on tourism and conventions as the clown mayors with no real business accumen expand that sector. They want the flimsy veneer that comes with tourism and convention. Gambling, tee shirt shops, trinkets, food service and hotels are the game.

Nola, he’s done well with tourism for decades. post Covid, it has done really well with tourism.
Tourists will come but will they come BACK?

Nola; in the state it’s in, is not a place trourists will want to come back to. Too much grafitti, trash, smell, and general crime will deter return visitors.

So there is more to unfold in Nola with respect to tourism. I expect to see numbers drop off considerably in 2024 as conventions look for other areas less dirty and dangerous.
