I think she's terrible in every way, but I'm not really sure what she's going to be able to do substantively to achieve those ends.

I admit, the perception is not a good thing, though.

The first thing that comes to mind is to continue to frick NOPD over. Do you think her constituents want to hear how she's tough on crime?

Also:
-property taxes
-AirBnB regulations

Ultimately, the tax coffers do. That will matter more to her.

If you push them out completely then who does the manual labor?

I've said for years, step one has to be better transportation to Algiers, the East and Gentilly.
Then you make it to where it's not such a drag to commute in. Then you have an alternate place for people to live.
When I visit San Fran or LA I wonder how manual laborer and service workers can afford to live there.

We'll see. SWB doesn't seem to give much of a shite about that and she has a far bigger chance of losing at the next election.

Her tax coffers don't hinge as much on crime perception from the outside, though. That's a pretty big part of New Orleans'.

If the city could ever elect someone or a number of people competent enough to have the vision to; crack down on crime, clean up the litter that lines the sides of the roads, invest in infrastructure, fix the levee situation and take proper precautions against the next natural disaster (which will happen).


The entire state doesnt invest in infrastructure. Lousiana has a big time litter problem as a whole as well. Politics in Louisiana is a joke, corruption everywhere. Its hard for one city to clean up all that when the state does not care.

We live in a state full of uneducated trash who don't give the first shite about their own lives, let alone something like littering.

Thats why 10% of all people born in Louisiana move to TX. They start getting the shakes when they see new schools being built, shiny new steel beams going up. They eventually get over the shock of improvement.

No, it actually can't. It's been the center of corruption in one of the most consistently corrupt states in America for decades.

New Orleans has been in steady decline since 1960s. It has roughly the same population today as it did in 1920.

New Orleans is an attraction, not a city. More like a Caribbean island. A fun (and risky) place to visit, which can attract minor real estate speculation, but tourism jobs and condo construction/flipping doesn't sustain an economy. No large, well-run corporation will take it seriously enough to move there and try to retain and recruit employees to live in New Orleans.

Anyone with half a brain will tell you that Nola is better today than it's been in at least 30 years.

They don't. My brother works in San Fran as a food service worker for the cafe inside Lucasfilms. He lives in Oakland. Takes the BART to/from work.

New Orleans has the potential to be not only a "nice city", but a top 5 city.

It will never be that again, unfortunately. But, the combination of culture, history, architecture, geography, etc. is almost unmatched.
