Mid 80’s for me. Turned to shite on a steep downhill slide. What a shame.

Moved to BR in 2000.
From 2000-2012 I remember Nola being a lot of fun and somewhat safe. Not sure when it went in the pooper

We just spent a weekend there. We had a great time. My husband had only been once, for a short time (one night). We spent a long weekend and he loved the European feel, the food, the warmth from wait staff & the walkability of the city.
We didn't encounter any riff-raff. It never felt dangerous (even though I know it is). But it was a great experience. Street parking, for free, steps from our hotel on Conti, between Dauphine & Bourbon.
I realize, as a resident, it needs a whole lot of work, but as visitors, it was an enjoyable getaway. :

Felt like Nola had a revitalization post-Katrina till roughly 2013-2014…Mitch Landrieu’s start of his second term. Since then, it’s been all downhill.

When Comus had to stop parading.

New Orleans and wheels off
VS
Most places in Louisiana
Give me wheel-less Nola all day long…organic, non-American mass merchandised culture, pockets of party
If u die of natural causes in Nola it’s your own damned fault. If New York is city that never sleeps, Nola is city that is never sober.
Give me dat! Not wheels.

The same with Downtown Baton Rouge and third street. From 2006-2014 or so it was a great place to hangout and have fun.

I would say from the Marc Morial administration on it has been all downhill.

BTR downtown was something my grandma talked about in the 50-60's, shopping, vitality. It was basically dead my entire life, then sparked up for a few years before I left. I had great times in downtown from 2006-2014. I suppose it's dead again.

Probably Katrina
Come on. The place was a shithole long before Katrina. Probably the 80s with the oil bust and corporate exodus to Houston began.
Plus the white flight to the north shore really started in the 80s

When the Mafia was dismantled. They kept a lid on things - such as crime - and when ousted, into the dumpster

That late 80’s into the early 90’s was the worst of the murder and corrupt NOPD. This was during the crack epidemic.
New Orleans rebounded quite a bit from 2005 until around 2019 or so and then the LaToya effect started the downhill again.

I think a lot of them are those uninsured Texas plates. About the age for them to rerun home and being the mayhem.

I dont think that is true, probably just coincidence. the NO mafia was powerful but they had like 5 made guys , they werent running crews big enough to control all petty crime around New Orleans. They werent the Chicago outfit or the West Side.
