I think Mandeville and Covington both suck compared to the Southshore. If you want suburban living, just live in Metairie. You get everything Mandeville and Covington have to offer except you're just minutes from the city. You can try to rationalize it all you want, but when you boil it down...the entire Northshore is a very boring place to live.

Northshore has less crime and better schools than Metairie which is what families look for

I said it was boring if you read my comments. But it's a good place to raise a family, and it has what my family in particular needs that the South shore does not. I think NO is the best city on earth. But it's missing what I need, and therefore I will never live there. This isn't a NS/SS argument. He asked about living in Covington. Get off your high horse.

This makes your opinion irrelevant and is really laughable. Who is saying the Northshore wins? I don't find it as exciting as New Orleans, but different people have different needs.

Some people don't enjoy living in shitholes FWIW.

While living in Covington was one of the worst experiences of my life, living in Matairie would be a whole other level of Hell.

Guess it depends on what stage of life you are in. The Northshore draw is schools that don't cost more than college tuition, for many at least.
