re: Do You Have To Leave Louisiana To See How F'ed It Is?

MY family and I just recently moved to Houston for my son's medical care. My wife and I both lived our whole lives in BR. We came back to Louisiana after being in Houston last year for 4 months for my son and it opened our eyes to the absolute bullshite that is our healthcare system and hospitals in Louisiana. Granted Texas Children's is the best children's hospital in the world but I wasn't expecting the incompetence that we were faced with in Louisiana. This past time when he was flown to Houston because Louisiana Hospitals just dont have the resources or competent personnel to care for him, we said enough is enough and made the move.

Having been here in TX for a couple of months now I feel like a veil has been lifted as to the many downfalls of Louisiana. Infrastructure, Schools, and Healthcare are three of the biggest ways in which your live is affected day to day (minus schools if no children). Louisiana just cant offer those things in any meaningful or competent way. TX undoubtedly has its problems, but they will not be to the level as Louisiana.

I significantly increased my salary and long term career prospects. I can still get crawfish here, I am the same distance to good fishing in toledo bend, and I can go back to BR to visit all our family or catch a big football game.

I have zero regrets. I think it will ultimately be the best decision My wife and I ever made for our family.
