What an idiotic statement. You think a place that has one resource, a highly volotile commodity and an uneducated workforce has more potential than a diversified economy full of educated people? Let's see how that works out for you.

You have to figure out a way to make Louisiana work for you. If you just want to be one of the sheep in the herd then go to Texas. They have exceptional pens for the herds.

Just another redicilous statement. You are becoming less credible with every sentence.

quote:
It was in response to the comment that people in Dallas somehow have access to more or better high end restaurants than people on the NorthShore

Literally no one said that.

quote:
That's just not true

Sure it is. It's objective data, not an opinion.

Congrats on bragging on having a home valued at 100k. There's no way to "game the system" on property tax.

My home is definitely not valued at $100,000. And even if it was, how much is the value of a home dictated by location? There's some absolutely gorgeous homes in some shity small towns or some rural backwoods all across America that can be had around $100,000 mark.

Theres absolutely ways to game property tax in LA. I'm sorry you don't know how but I'm not going to reveal them in a public forum and ruin it for myself.

I'm not even going to respond to the other shite. You sound like a very simple minded individual. Texas is fine for certain people looking for certain things out of life. It's not any more or less for anybody than New Orleans is. Everybody has different metrics with which to measure the value of things in life. Many of those can't even be measured. They have to be experienced.

I've lived in Texas. I've lived in Louisiana. I made my choice to come back to Louisiana because Louisiana presents an opportunity to not spend my life toiling away in the rat race. I didn't see those same opportunities in Texas. Texas is a place you go to maximize your success within the rat race. If you're looking to succeed in the rat race in Louisiana, unless you know somebody, you're probably going to fail. I have a cousin in Dallas right now who's trying to emulate what I'm doing in Louisiana, in the Dallas area. He's having to take a lot of risk and I'm not sure it's going to work out for him.
