Dedrick Lebeau, a lifelong New Orleanian, recently moved to Violet, La., after his Freret neighborhood landlord raised the rent on his three-bedroom shotgun, half of a duplex in the 2600 block of Upperline Street, to $1600 a month. He bought a house for the first time in Violet and is paying about $1,300 a month, and far less in property taxes than he’d pay in New Orleans.


What's the problem here?

that there's nothing in St. Bernard Parish in terms of jobs or amenities.

you get what you pay for, and in NOLA, you pay a premium to be close to your job and live in a bustling city with culture, pro sports, etc. and be able to tell people you live in New Orleans
