re: Can St. George duplicate what is going on in Central?

That wouldn't be so bad, but it's a crime that it takes an angry mob of neglected residents storming city hall to get quality schools for their kids. Russian would still be pissed, though. He said he'd "vote early and often against" a hypothetical good school system in our part of town. Some folks will never be happy until we're all as miserable as them.

Tell you what's going to happen if it is approved. The new St. George will become a magnet for everyone living in Baton Rouge, many of the same you don't want there, and others who will be the final evacuees from the place, and all to take advantage of what is or what will be perceived as better schools for their kids. More new multi family housing will be erected in your St. George, and more older properties will go the way of tax credit and section eight, all to cater to the demand, and drive your new St. George in the proverbial gutter.

This will result in the urban blight taking over and growing at an exceedingly exponential rate than before as a result of the mass exodus in Baton Rouge, and in St. George, and judging from the pattern, guess what will happen to the rest of the city and it's commercial appeal and desirability, value, etc?

You will frick this city, all of it, including yourself, and nothing will stop it at that point. You might want to have a bug out plan in place. Perhaps Amite.


Maybe at that point we can get a party of the willing together to take over downtown and start another plague of people invading outward, but of people buying up that which the geniuses left and invest in our actual city, leaving the rest of you to your pastures and Walmart nonsense.
