But New Orleans had already lost its stature compared to Houston and Atlanta in the early to mid 1900s

After WWII is when it began.

Earlier than that. It started in the mid 20th century. It was pretty well complete by the 1980s.

I had looked at Jefferson parish budget vs Orleans. $600M vs $1.04B for 2017. Where does that much money go every year?
If I could make one change, it would be that all city spending over a certain (say $100k) amount gets published to the public in a very transparent way. The public doesn't get to vote on each piece of spending, but the city is required to notify residents on where the money goes. That way people are more informed when it comes to election time.
All of this information is available, but you have to dig for it or request it, and nobody has time or desire to actively seek it out. If it was presented to us on a frequent basis, I bet people would be storming city hall with pitchforks
