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

Because it’s putting lipstick on a pig. Pearls before swine

Because whatever they do for improvements will get vandalized and/or stolen, there will trash all around it and if its a new business, it will get robbed into oblivion

Because it’s literally throwing money away (from a city/state that doesn’t have it to throw away) into one of the biggest shite holes in Baton Rouge.

Because the majority of people who live in those areas do nothing to maintain their properties.

If Mike Wampold or John Enquist stepped upped to the podium and committed X Million dollars to a major project in NBR, and Amazon announced a regional operations center there, and Apple stepped up about building a regional sales office there all because the parish had stepped up to the plate and committed CATS to provide public transportation, road upgrades and a waiver of city sales taxes in the blighted area then we’d have something to crow about,
But I do not suspect we will see any of that. I think we will hear all about how the parish with Federal and local taxes is going to revitalize NBR. And that won’t work.

Because the degradation of the area is primarily a function of its residents not caring enough to keep it up. Fixing up the area should first come from the people living there putting forth their effort first.
There will be no incentive for them to keep the area up, in 5-10 years it will be about the same that it is now and they'll want it re-done all over again.
At best this will end up being lipstick on a pig.
