It's a shame too, NOLA used to be a cool town, at least to visit. Now it's not even a cool town to visit. It's Jackson MS with jazz

Yeah the only way NOLA gets cleaned up is if tourism dries up. It happened after Katrina as NOLA had to portray that it was safe after what people saw on the news after Katrina. Sadly it’s reverted back to its old ways. It’s not 90’s level bad but not far from it.

Even if individual tourists stop visiting that won’t be enough. The weekend visitor tourists don’t make a difference. You have to see major conventions and sporting events pull out.

I don’t want to see it but the reality is that won’t happen unless there is a mass shooting/casualty event in the French Quarter. Something that gets national attention and to the point the city can’t ignore it. It’s pathetic it would take something like that but at this point outside of something like that I don’t see anything changing.
