Saying regentrification is ruining the city...

"The city has become less populous, less black, more white, richer at its historic center and poorer in many surrounding neighborhoods."

The loss of newspaper is apparently ruining the city as well...

Wow!

Gentrification can be good, but not when it's done by a bunch of whiny do-gooder hipsters from the Northeast.

In July, the demolition of the Times-Picayune building in New Orleans was completed.

TP building still partially standing as of yesterday.

Sounds like a hit piece on the advocate. How dare a locally owned company buy the Times-Picayune, which was owned by a company out of New York. Lol

Of course NOLA east is still a war zone.

New Orleans was majority white in 1970. Has all of it's soul and culture come from the last 50 years?

New Orleans WAS one of the richest cities in the country for most of it's existence.

Gentrification has happened in every city in the history of the world.

Neighborhoods change and evolve. The black neighborhoods weren’t always black, the poor neighborhoods may not always stay poor.

People move in, people move out.

The real point of this whole ridiculous anti-gentrification nonsense is political, purely.

It’s become less black?

The times pic building is still up (partially).

This is fake news.

New Orleans isn’t losing its soul. The hipsters throw a second line any time someone who sang a song died.

Sounds like an Dead Kennedys song talking about know it all liberals who brag about how they know the slums have so much soul.

These lugnuts have the craziest view.

They want the stable families and neighborhoods to be forced to segregate with the unstable, but they don't want the more stable families encroaching on the poor.

It's like they see that taking 4.5 gallons of horse shite and adding it to .5 gallons of ice cream makes 5 gallons of horse shite but think that adding 4.5 gallons of ice cream to .5 gallons of horse shite makes 5 gallons of ice cream.

They think that turning blighted, crime-ridden neighborhoods into peaceful havens for families and children is just a well-run government program away. It's like they can't conceive that many in these neighborhoods are there because of their own choices in continuing to make bad decisions in life.

Good. Needs more of it.

FQ needs to be locked down like fricking Times Square.
