I am sure I may offend some here, but these 2 areas, IMO are not good places to live anymore.


I'm not really offended by it, but I'll just point out that the continued prevalence of this type of attitude is one of the chief reasons BR is basically fricked.

From what I have seen, a certain type of folk have moved out of these once proud and nice neighborhoods and another type of folk have replaced them.

I was talking to a guy who owns 10 rental properties in the Garden District, Capital Heights, and Old Goodwood. He had someone who was transferring here to one of the bigger companies in BR look at his home and turn in the application. The morning of the signing of the lease, he got a call from the new tenant and said they found a home in Prairieville because they "heard" Capital Heights was not safe...

I tend to agree with this. BR is one of the most sprawled out cities in the country and it's getting moreso all the time.

Apparently a large percentage of Baton Rouge residents live in abject terror of the thought that a black person might move nearby. To avoid this they have all decided to move to Livingston Parish and contentedly sit in nightmare traffic for 45 minutes in each direction every day.
