New Orleans is becoming an expensive city. Extremely high home prices and no real free education option. I loved the city but it was the main reason I left now that I'm wanting to start a family. New Orleans is dying for an actual thriving suburb

Ain't that the truth. I've been looking at buying lately and I can't afford jack. Houses on my street are going for $300k+, and they aren't anything special. The neighbors in my double moved out recently and my landlord went up 40% on rent, and got it filled within a couple days. This was even after my next door neighbors on the other side got tied up and robbed in broad daylight. Gonna suck when my lease is up.

I grew up in Gentile Woods way back in the 1950's to the early 1970's. I pasted thru there last Friday. The second time after Katrina. What a dump now even more after Katrina. There are very few nice homes that were rebuilt. Now blight has taken over a once very nice area.
