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, 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. 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.

So to surmise, you are saying the bad element is going to leave us alone as long as we stay unincorporated, but if we get too prosperous look out. They will be in our new city in hordes.

Geez, we can't win can we?????

At no time has any of this been prosperous, because you exchanged valuable areas of the city for nonsense. You erected the white surrender flag and haven't stopped retreating.

When will Baton Rouge stop, lay down the surrender flag, pick up the BR flag, turn around, and fight for their own damn city? When everyone lives along perhaps Manchac and have run out of land to evacuate to?

In almost every other city on this planet the most valuable areas to reside and that which is the highest real estate is in and close in proximity to downtown, especially when it's close to a major river the likes of the Mississippi River, and then there's LSU which is the only thing the people in the proposed St George area would consider worth investing in.. Well, maybe just Tiger Stadium. Not here and places just like it though. People here especially think it should be in Shenandoah, a place that can't even tolerate or support a damn golf course because there's too much quick money to be made, and all that damn grass and trees are a real nuisance getting in the way. We keep building bullshite, and investing in pastures, and so I have no faith in this place, save the few who do actually understand the concepts of our community being most important and worth fighting for and investing in, and I'm afraid their numbers just aren't very many to make a real lasting difference. The trend, like everything else here, is just too many years down the road, and so maybe when it does make its way here I can enjoy it from the window of my nursing home.
