What happened? Police dept went way south. Lakeside improved, taking away from Esplanade. 10-15 years of I-10 construction made commuting absolutely miserable - especially the commute from downtown back to NOLA. The adults that built and bought houses there in the 80s never left - but their kids did.

It's a pretty typical white flight story. As a suburb fills, the younger generation still wants new, so they move further out when it comes time for them to form households. As the older generations die off, they are replaced by poorer people, and over time, the entire place goes down.

My little block has four houses including mine that are now second generation. The parents moved the kids bought the houses.

My main thing that keeps me here is having a garage the size of a one story house. That's the main thing. I can have to cars in it and still have two full shop areas.

It's a shadetree mechanic's dream. Lol

Once I get an inground pool I'll never leave.
