re: NOLA crime at a crucial tipping point

True but here is some of the rub. Kazillions of dollars were pumped into New Orleans AND other areas as a result of Katrina. Fine, as we do same for other areas brought low by Mother Nature. What we don't witness is the self inflicted wound of significant crime as seen in the Crescent City and some, like me, see nothing less than an ungrateful populace, right or wrong. I understand areas such as Chicago are likewise inundated with crime and I know my view about New Orleans is simply an emotional view. However, other areas humbled by Mother Nature don't go to shat in a handbag.
However, growing up there, she has lost her former greatness and charm and somebodies better get a handle on this blight. It can be done but I fear the will is not present to change course as her city leaders are failing the populace.

No, New Orleans now has the highest murder rate in the country - Chicago is like 6th.
People now get robbed in broad daylight on Canal Street and Bourbon Street. I just quit going because taking common sense precautions will no longer make you a lot safer.
