re: New Orleans could actually be a nice city

It sure would be nice if the people posting on this thread had some sense of reality. New Orleans just attracted the biggest white collar jobs development in the state's history. Earlier this year, it beat out a number of cities, including Nashville and San Antonio, in attracting British Airways. New billion dollar airport, 2 billion in road work on city streets is starting up.
Yes, crime is a major problem and infrastructure issues remain, but overall, the city is doing better now in terms of economic development than it had in years. We'd be a lot farther along if the state hadn't been cutting higher ed and construction budgets for the past decade.

until nagin shut that down with his "chocolate city" speech where he told out of town developers and investors who wanted to buy up abandoned property to redevelop the city, that the city would step in and block any of these attempts so the people who fled could come back and make the city even more ghetto fabulous then it was before to maintain new orleans culcha

I wonder if Scalise endorsing Charbonnet hurt her chances of winning.

You mean it wouldn't smell like piss and they would have a police force capable of handling the crime?

You need to visit other parts of the city other than the Quarter.

This thread makes me sad. I hate when shitty people get in the way of a city reaching its full potential.

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.
Yuuuge problem right there. Insane cost of living and very few decent jobs. You can find higher salaries and better affordability just about anywhere else.
At some point a lot of people are going to say screw it and leave for greener pastures.

Meh. He is a dumbass and made the chocolate city speech, but it didn't stop $millions from out of state developers from coming in and investing in the city. He failed with that attempt.

I love this narrative
Gretna is easily the nicest, safest city in the Nola metro. And JPSO is 1000x times more effective than nopd. The wank has never been more dangerous than Nola

I'm talking Algiers mostly.
But Terrytown, Harvey and Marrero aren't exactly River Ridge, Harahan and Metairie.

Algiers, terrytown should be annexed by Gretna. Poors pushed to marrero and westwego. Build a wall.
On the other side of the river,poors pushed to Da East. Build a wall. Install a decent transit system (bus + rail,etc.) so they can come work service jobs.
There. I think I just significantly improved Nola metro

People who misspell curse words are so goddamn motherfricking odd.
God knows what you wanted to say. I bet you still have a Pron folder.
