I think New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and the North Shore need to improve their regional infrastructure an try to market itself as one giant area. To do that, Louisiana needs to push very hard for lots of new highways, bridges, and flood control in all of those areas.
In the meantime, New Orleans has to fix its own local issues with infrastructure, cleanliness, and safety. Unfortunately I don't think there is the willpower to do that right now.

Seems like a whole lotta "ifs" there

Only way i imagined was to let Airbnb run unregulated for 5-10 years. Which could have priced a lot of the underclass out. THEN we place the strict regulations on these rentals.
And it WAS working.

It’s really just sad.
I live about 2 hours away, so whenever I’m in the area I am reminded of the potential. The waterways make it a sleeping giant, but it’s just sad that the city is filled with hipsters, who have no real long term plans here, and are just here for the ‘experience’ and then the rest of the population is concerned with street cred and killing one another.
It’s just hard to watch cities like; Austin, Dallas, Nashville, Charlotte, etc get their shite together and start booming overnight, while New Orleans sludges along like Detroit.

New Orleans just got hit by a meteor called Latoya.
It won't recover for a decade at the earliest.

Why do they hate Airbnb so much?

Some areas claim Airbnb ruins the charm of the neighborhoods and others it is pricing them out.

Yeah, this exact thing has been going on since Katrina.
Those scary projects by the quarter are now mixed income nice apartments.
The crime breeding Lafite right down the street are old folks residences on a nice bike path.
Magnolia projects is nuts a gated apartment community.
Freret Street and central city is being bought up and transformed block by block.
The St Bernard used to ruin G3ntilly with high crime.
Now it's a fancy apartment community.
Ditto with the St Thomas.
The seventh ward is quickly being taken over by hipsters.
The lower 9 is safer than ever.
Really there are only pockets off bad areas. The police could focus on them more.
Central city and the seventh ward are the criminal breeding grounds though. The real city gangs run these areas.

I thought it was funny when they proposed a village for poor people in an empty part of the East, and NIMBYers from the East shot it down.

If it weren't for some of the people, NOLA (or San Fran or Detroit or Moscow or Atlanta or Memphis or Jo'burg or Istanbul or Damascus or......) could actually be a nice city?
Silly thread.
Not sure if serious....

Gotcha. But the biggest and best thing going for NOLA is tourism.
Tourists love using Airbnb in many cities. Do what makes the tourists happy.

NOLA is so saturated in frickery it can not simply "Un frick" itself.

yeah you have to price out the underclass types but that's exactly what the government doesn't want to do
there is a political reason (those voters are the base of much of the government infrastructure) and "moral" reasons (governments don't want to be known for pushing out historical residents and what not). those in power WANT those people in the city, which is what strangles the developmental hopes of Nola. they're completely anti-gentrification (Which means they're anti-improvement)

San Fran is one of the nicest cities in America, dumbass.
Not sure if serious...
Secondly, many of those other cities don’t have the available resources that NO has and they do well despite their location; see Denver, Austin, Charlotte

It is changing in some ways.
The housing boom in the city has forced rents in bad areas to even $1000+ a month.
Few homes in the city proper for less than $300k. Combine that with less low skill jobs and a stagnant rate of income growth and you will have more people on welfare.

LaToya more so than usual, she beat the black NOLA political machine and lost the white vote by 30+ points and still won bigly. Poor people put her into office and that's who she'll look to appease. These people who think because a few rich people donated to her at the last minute that things will be ok are kidding themselves.

It's true in respect to drug running and murders. The testimony last week really opened up the spread of drug gang's influence in a post large gang era.
. You have Dblock in Algiers, Young Melph on Melphomene, flatliners in the ninth ward, 3nG and 39ers in central city/uptown and G street in the seventh ward. The area they operate from, start aggressive aggressive policing and a top down change will happen.
