Meh, I went to middle and high school in Franklin and spent a good portion of non-school time there. You can keep Franklin. Outside of downtown, it's plagued by traffic and endless tract housing. Further out in the county is nice, but too expensive when you compare land prices to surrounding counties.

Like Baton Rouge's plague of tract housing communities like Santa Maria and Bocage right? And a majority of Franklin is still zoned 1 Acre and 5 Acre tracts. Combine that with areas that won't perk due to terrain, your post is short sighted to put it nicely.

But I bet you used the public school system while here.

When did you go to school there grandpa? Franklin area is thriving..best public school system in the state, a juggernaut in the westhaven subdivision and quite frankly one of the most desirable areas to live in the country. I live maybe 5 miles from downtown Franklin and if you haven't been here recently you would be blown away.

Compared to baton rouge this area is the garden of Eden.
