Anywhere with entertainment people are allowed to congregate for free will never work in areas with nearby poverty, crime, and low income housing. All of these type ventures in Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans have been complete disasters.

Yeah pretty much. It is nice that someone has an idea to utilize waterfront space. Not sure what they could do with Lake P but it's underutilized as well.

This can't be overstated. I lived in and watched first hand the failure of the project in Shreveport and later the downtown revitalization in BR. Both started great and then crashed and burned as soon as large groups of youths started hanging out on the corners. Street fights were quickly followed by muggings and car burglaries which then turned to shootings and Poof! all the paying patrons disappeared.
I see this happening with this project as well.

Yup.
It’s like saying “we can leave food out here, there aren’t any ants”
You leave food out, you gone get ants.
