re: Leaving Lousiana?

Left 7 years ago for a Midwest suburb. Had the opportunity to move back last year continuing to do my job from Louisiana. Wife and I’s family are both from La. Decided to stay. Great public schools, hardly any crime, local and state government firmly in the hands of Republicans. The roads in my neighborhood and on my commute have been repaved twice since I have been here. They would have been considered the best roads in LA before repavement. Like someone said, it is depressing when we go back. LA could be such a wonderful state, but it has pissed away it’s future.
