re: In your opinion: what's the worst city in Louisiana?

The key to great living in Louisiana is to get out of the city and live in a rural area.

You can literally say this about any cities crime rates though
Correct, I meant it that way. Most big cities occupy the majority of parish/county residents though, so the watered down effect of the suburbs is dampened. Parish data is still better to go off of than city.

Yep. I moved from the country to Alexandria for 11 years. The best move I ever made was to move out of Alexandria and back into the country. I pretty much hated everything about living in a city after year two. I couldn't wait to get back out to where it was quiet, clean and had a major lack of crime.
I'm not a city person. I cannot wrap my mind around wanting to live in a giant concrete heat sink surrounded by noise, pollution, crime and people on top of you every where you go. It's not for me. Some people love the city life but I can't fathom how. I'm just wired different.

I’d starve out in the country

Forgot to include the high quality trailer parks that you see everywhere. You could blind fold me in Shreveport, spin me around in a circle, then tell me to throw a rock and it would hit a trailer or land in a trailer park.
So you've been to one part of Shreveport and it sounds like that one part was Bossier. I live in South Shreveport which is a different world. Within a block I have a few high end restaurants, cigar lounge, small businesses, a private school all surrounded by higher income residential gated neighborhoods. I won't pretend like Shreveport has a ton going on, but in the right area it's a nice place to raise a family...I'm also by a very safe park that host a lot of food truck/farmers market concert in the park type events....kinda crowd we can leave our stuff unattended, walk around and not worry about shite. I get where someone visiting would give Shreveport a bad rap, but more that meets the eye.
However, to add to the conversation, the most miserable I've ever been living somewhere is easily Monroe. Every place has crime and shite hole pockets, but I've never seen a town so actively against progress or growth as Monroe. I've seen cool local restaurants and bars and events die a miserable slow unsupported death while the whole city rallied around a fricking olive garden that caught fire. It really has potential to be a cool little college town, but no one wants that to happen. Everyone these is content to live in a generic southern interstate exit

New Orleans has gotten pretty bad which is a damn shame considering the fine cuisine .

Mandeville. Advise to steer clear

Bogalusa. I'm waiting for the day that the mill closes for good and that area becomes a ghost town - but for some reason out benevolent state politicians are building yet another highway to connect to that dumpster, mainly because they own the land that will be adjacent to said new and unnecessary road.

Basically Sixty Rayburn and his pals all scooped up the land in the area about fourty years ago and have been pushing to build that road for years because they/their descendants are going to make a shitton of cash reselling it. My Uncle was in on this.
