Can someone explain to me how there are what appear to be actual crack dens a full block from LSU's campus? I don't understand how, with major college attractions abounding in the area, how here are somehow roving bands of drug addicts and beggars permitted to just hang around? Someone needs to clean this shite up, its disgusting.
Maybe I'm exaggerating but this morning walking to class (at 8 am I might add), I spotted a guy (who I usually see around in his wheelchair drinking a tall boy) rolling around in someone's front yard like he was on PCP. Not to mention there are not infrequent muggings, robberies, etc in that vicinity.

rant over..not really a rant though..I kind of find it amusing

Nothing makes you feel more alive like seeing a crack addict downing PBR tall boys at 9 am on a Sunday while LSU students make their way to church

landlords don't care as long as the units are rented, and the shitty ones are cheap. Slowly but surely, they are being bought and renovated. There is definitely an initiative by the Northgate Merchants Assoc to revitalize that area as less sketchy.

I would love to get rid of all the pan handling bums out there. Between the local bums and the transplant nomad gutter punks, it's annoying. i can't even walk to the Chimes without being asked for money by the exact same fricking people every day.

Landlords don't give a frick. I live on State for a few years. Used to be worse, but they've torn down a few of the older crack houses. After Katrina is was Krusty central. I enjoyed my couple of years there, outside of the great Krusty migration of 2005.

Hippie and hipster LSU students need someplace to live. I know this place is bro central but get your heads out of your asses once in awhile

I feel like a lot of the seediness is from the traveling kids with pitbulls and stuff. They used to just squat in the field on Carlotta.
