re: 47 homicides and counting in BR

Did you just make up that 4-lane theory? We were both wrong. But at least I remember people not wanting to live near that plant 100% factual.
The real reason Gardere failed
quote:
Perhaps if there had been a plan in the first place, Gardere would not have ended up the way it has. But in the blow-and-go years of the late 1970s and early 1980s, a lot of people in Louisiana were rich—at least by Louisiana standards—and real estate was an attractive investment for doctors and other professionals with more disposable income than they knew what to do with. A couple of developers are primarily credited, or blamed, for throwing up the inexpensive fourplexes that still define the landscape on and around Gardere Lane. They hoped to capitalize on growth from the Gulf South Research Institute, which was supposed to lure high-tech firms to Louisiana, and also to take advantage of the increasing number of LSU students who were moving off campus and looking beyond Tigerland for affordable housing.
quote:
The Reagan Tax Reform Act of 1986 changed all that. Among other things, it did away with blanket rules of depreciation, making write-offs available only to so-called qualified real estate professionals. About the same time, the price of oil plummeted, dealing a direct blow to the Louisiana economy. Then, the stock market crashed, followed by the savings and loan crisis. “All of these properties people built to get the depreciation had to make money because they could no longer get the depreciation,” says local developer and real estate attorney Ed Kramer. “Then the economy collapsed and everything failed.” Almost overnight, the shoddy fourplexes were worthless. Some went back to failed lenders and, later, the Resolution Trust Corporation. Eventually, most ended up as either federally subsidized Section 8 housing or as slum property, owned by out-of-state investors who swooped in looking for deals. The LSU students moved out, replaced by low-income residents, many of whom brought with them the social ills that breed crime and drugs. Gardere never recovered.

I was in my account. ooops. Here's the main page for Crime
OpenData BR Crime
Our District is 2E1 if you wanna save a filter like I did called "My Hood"
The only homicides we have on record(Goes back to 2011) were when the Drunk Joseph Branch killed Nathan Crowson on his bike and something at OLOL(probably where the suspect was arrested) last year.

Hah I just diddled with the filters and found there have been exactly 100 DWIs doled out on Lee Drive(various numbers) since 2011.
that's a LOT of money for the BRPD from ONE strip of road.
I'm exporting the entire data set to SQL Server. I'm going to figure out what are the top hot spots for DWI and homicide(down to the street) in BRPD jurisdiction since 2011. Granted some will be the arresting location not the scene of the crime. But fun anyhow for a Monday. This is the kinda shite I do for a living so....

I was with a buddy that got a DUI right there when we were leaving the Caterie.
Funny side story on that, the cops brought him across Perkins in the wagon. There was a keg party going on at the house where he was parked in front of on Lee. They invited me over since I was stranded at 2am. I went drank beer and hooked up with some strange.
Buddy went to jail, I drank free beer and got laid

i guess its a lot but not really imo.
1 a month over the last 8 years, which is probably the direct result of being right next to the most popular bar in the city
i didnt know how to work the search thing so i gave up

Good luck finding the owners.

Haha nothing shocking here. Sorted by most murders to least since 2011 grouped by street name.
FWIW I can run anything yall are interested in by area/crime/etc.
Here's DWIs

Damn - almost 100 people murdered on 1 street in 7 years
Posted on 6/18/18 at 12:24 pm to LaBR4
This was interesting like Jones was saying about the cops following people to 1100 Lee. The address wasn't at the top for actual DWIs but they are CLEARLY running a racket on citations listed as 'OTHER' and 'NARCOTICS'(including DWIs).
Oh and Shocker. LSU students making bad decisions means BIG $$$ for BRPD

Mike how many homicides in the twins' neighborhood.
And yes. I once gave Gardere the hardest time and it is still a shithole but i see more and more Hispanics. With EBRSO very present, we may just have hope over there yet.

I don't think he got a DUI for failure to signal. He got a DUI because he was driving while under the influence.

Poorly worded on my part but he was pulled over for not signaling while turning out of the parking lot onto Perkins.
