Yep for the most part the bayou communities are made up of those that can’t afford to leave and move up the bayou. The rest are camps that cost as much or more than most homes. I lived on the east side during high school in the 90’s and it has gone to absolute shite. Basically little Mexico now. The nice neighborhoods keep expanding out toward Schriever. This last oilfield crash has really set the town back. Starting to have big city type crime and the drug problems are horrible for a town it’s size. The idea of having to spend $20k plus a year to send my three kids to a decent school was a major reason we left.

this is what I see when I go home. West side of Houma is doing alright. Lawyers and doctors. east side and further down the bayou is pitiful. Still tied to GOM work. I don't think that will ever be what it was for O&G.
my HS friends who are still there are fed up with cost of living there. car insurance is a bitch for a couple with teenage drivers.
