Plank Road Revitalization Unveiling In-Game Thread (8:30 a.m.)

Why does it need revitalizing?

This should be just the shot in the arm that Baton Rouge needs. I'll go ahead and contact my real estate agent about moving back. Gotta get some of this sweet Plank Road housing before it's all gone.

I'm gonna take my horse to the old Plank Road.

Just have the hipsters move in. Gentrification will save the hood.

Let us know how much this is going to cost us.

That’s where they’re keeping that stolen candy!

A large factor in the implementation of the plan was to ensure that as other areas of the capital city were being updated, North Baton Rouge received the same amount of attention.

Because a bunch of white people don’t like their tax dollars being used for “other” people?

AND PLANK ROAD IS NOT HIGH IN CRIME ... I WAS JUST RIDING ON HOLLYWOOD ST AND BULLETS WERE FLYING OVER MY VEHICLE AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD SCARED ME SO MUCH ... I NEVER HAD OR HEARD OF ANYTHING GOING ON PLANK TO MUCH AS FAR AS SHOOTINGS AND KILLINGS ..

I dislike and disagree with the SWB administration as much as the next guy, and am building my animosity level toward where with her hostility towards St. George, but we all agree that North BR is in dire straits and needs significant improvement.

Why are we all shitting on this improvement? Because it’s a local government project as opposed to a private one? Because it’s SWB’s idea? Because it’s in NBR?

I’m just curious why we are clapping on local government trying to improve local communities.

Ok yeah I get the cynicism, especially because I’ve never even seen where my input has been asked for

I'd love to see a cleaned up NBR. The roads and infrastructure are there for it to be successful. There's just seems to be something holding it back.... I can't quite put my finger on what that is though...
