Baton Rouge development is a cluster. They build locked parking lots that have no access to the next parking lot accept for the road.

Man this is such a good point and it’s a problem all over the fricking city.

The little strip mall with the Verizon store on Siegen is another example. The parking lot is inexplicably not connected to the streets behind it (which connect to Target, Chik Fil-A, etc.) despite butting up right next to each other. So if you’re going south on Siegen and need to go to the Verizon store you can either A) try to make a left turn across 3 lanes of Siegen traffic with no signal, B) drive down to the other side of I-10 and make a U-turn somewhere, or C) turn left at the red light, park on the Target side, and walk around the building.

There is a lot of shite on Siegen that is actually connected but Essen is worse as you said.
