If St.G can wait a few years I'm sure a new mall will be built further away from the city

I'm not trying to be combative, but how, exactly do you propose they do this? That area comprises nearly half the landmass of BTR, and is filled with people on generational welfare and who generally could not care less about their surroundings. Moreover, a major catalyst in the downfall of NBR was the imposition of the plants. How do you reverse decades of undesirability and apathy?
Hell, they can't even get around to fixing the damn traffic problems that have been plaguing that city forever.
Scruffy is confused as to why people want to continue with such mediocrity.

Its not confusing. I understand build it away from Casino however there is really nowhere to build a smaller mall than over in that area.
As far as the bus routes. I would rather have a mall not on the bus routes is all.

It would be like building a church the size needed to hold just Easter Sunday churchgoers.

Baton Rouge could learn a thing or two from those places.

I think you should answer this question yourself. Im interested to see your answer.

I hate traffic as much as anyone, but you're being a Drama Queen if you think BR traffic is measurably worse than any other U.S. city its size.
Even during the times you mentioned, I can drive from one side of the city to the other in 40 minutes. It used to take me 1 hour just to get from the CBD in New Orleans to the Dolly Parton bridge during rush hour.

It'll be built in Livingston or Ascension. I'm not in full support of SG, but the exodus to surrounding parishes needs to slow down. SG was an (albeit, messed up way) to stoke parish growth. If the city is just galvanized to stop SG from forming, but not do anything to combat the issues that made the people wanna form a new city in the first place, we're all screwed. Something must be done. If not St George, which is probably overall a bad idea, then what?

I just had a conversation about this.
It's true. You wanna go across town at 4 on a Friday in baton frickin rouge, it'll take at least an hour.
There's no disputing that. At least an hour to an hour and a half.
