The reality is that Lake Charles has a ton going for it, in comparison to Lafayette - petrochem industry, port and ship channel, all of the water access, outdoor activities such as great hunting and fishing, gaming with its proximity to Texas. And looking at the past few years, it looks like Lake Charles is exploding (perhaps in spite of itself, but that's a different discussion) and Lafayette is struggling due to the price of oil. It will be interesting to watch how the two cities handle the next decade or so, as the landscape could be drastically different than it has been for the past 30-40 with these two...


this is all accurate, unfortunately. Lafayette is in a bad spot not being closer to the coast and having port access like Lake Charles. also being closer to Texas doesn't hurt.
