The slumlording in Tigerland, State St,etc..is partly to blame by BR having lil new apt building in the 1980s/1990s after the AC Lewis boom in the 1950s/1960s,etc..creating the vacancies to be filled when newer/better became more widely available.

The market was long overdue for more newer and nicer. Parents got smart to buying garden homes and/or condos, rather than renting for four, five, or six years. Especially when they see how ratty old LSU apts cost a healthy fraction vs owning something.

At least there is a gentrification move afoot around the gates of LSU's ends..even if Tigerland goes further slumlorded ghetto/barrio.

And the Nicholson corridor between LSU and Downtown is being silently bought up by BR's Illuminati.
