re: New Orleans could actually be a nice city

If they could figure out a way to buy up all the ghetto areas which are too close to the tourist areas, the place would explode.
Offer maybe 125% of the value and buy them out.....
If not, it's fun watching the slow death of that shithole, always run by a Democrat MORON, right into the ground

this debate has been going on for decades. so why put the projects in walking/biking distance from Quarter? walking distance from million dollar houses in uptown? Why not place ALL of them in N.O. east. The answer is they need to have job opportunities; cook, waiter, housekeeper, etc. And moving them would deny them the opportunity to work in the Quarter. I say move the government assisted projects out in isolated areas. Bus them in for free.
