I wonder how many folks born and raised here miss out on opportunities elsewhere (personal and economical) rather to stay here in LA their entire lives? 

Roads, education, and healthcare are absolutely abysmal in LA. Yet, so many stay here for "culture", and the big one, family

I've toured the country, seen different places and met different people. Louisiana is home, and I do feel content knowing I can go anywhere..but when I get tired of being there, i find myself wanting to get a pizza from angeli and while I'm there..laugh about when the place next door was the Crystal and then the dervish etc.
