If you're going to live in New Orleans, at least live somewhere where you get the benefits of living in New Orleans (Uptown, Mid City, etc...).
Why live in Lakeview anyway ? You get all the NOLA bullshite without any of the charming culture. Its not like you can walk to everything you need like parts of The Uptown, Mid City, Bywater. You aren’t on a parade route or have street cars. You still have to take a $20 Uber to get to places. Might as well live in Metairie.
ETA: before I get accused of being a "NLA idiot", I lived Uptown on the parade route for 4+ years.

What is the Metairie equivalent to Harrison Ave.? And for someone with young kids, LV provides more "benefits" than Uptown or Mid City. There are six families on my block with kids in grade school, I'm not getting that in most other areas of NOLA.
It's far from perfect, but to say its a shitbox compared to Uptown or Mid City is a leap.

As someone who has lived in Lakeview, Downtown, and Uptown, I agree with this.

Because:
-It's less crowded than other parts of the city like Uptown, is close to the lakefront and City Park, and is generally safer than other parts of Orleans (which is why people are upset at the recent increase in car break-ins).
-It's closer to New Orleans attractions than Metairie and other suburbs.
-It's cheaper than Old Metairie, even with the tax difference.
-Not everyone wants to live on a parade route.
