Hate is a strong word however people act like there is nothing wrong with New Orleans and something is wrong with you if you have anything negative to say about it. NOLA does have a plethora of problems that will never be fixed(Louisiana has a similar problem).

At the end of the day I am employed to remain here...so unless you have a job lined up for me in my industry elsewhere...my livelihood says it would be wise to stay.

Tigerbait's opinion doesn't pay bills so I don't think I will include you in my life decisions. Please excuse my ignorance.

Fact is there are nicer places to live and at the same time I have lived in much worse.

New Orleans is OK but most people can only grasp that if they are not alcoholics who only live to drink and watch football.

Is it some industry unique to New Orleans?

What industry are you in?

That's honestly Nola's biggest problem: the job market. You're treating it like a strength.

What a ridiculous statement. There are plenty of successful doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, etc who absolutely love living in New Orleans

True, there are many nicer places.

Obviously you haven't lived in a lot of places. NOLA is one of the better cities to live in when talking about work, transit, and livelihood.

Now murder and education is shitty as hell, but if your child/family lives in a nice area and go to the better schools in the city you're doing well. Ben Franklin is a top 25 school year in and year out for high schools in the nation. LSU has so many graduate programs, as does Tulane. It isn't a total shitfest like some places.
