yea those are the two cities that have it. LC was on its way but was set back 5+ years with the hurricane. Lake Charles will need a good 25 year run of no hurricanes to really have a shot to be anything of note.

Lafayette isn't bad now and is a pretty damn good city for its size for the demographics it has

Northshore is nice and best area of LA imo. Lafayette is 2nd.

in the end, in LA its a demographic problem plain and simple. Between that and the education issues...there is always going to be a huge divide and disparity in income. really hard to overcome those issues.

The issue with areas like the Northshore is that they're still a suburb of Nola and aren't independently affluent.

LC/Laffy aren't reliant on a larger metro to function. They're tied to petro, which isn't going away anytime soon.

Yes and the lower end is only getting more populous and poor. That's why I don't think there is a hope.
