re: Is Mississippi a better state to live in than La?

Grew up in LA, currently in MS. A year ago I would’ve told you LA, after watching JBE from afar, the gap has closed.

After moving here I realized how many resources LA has that could really help the state improve (Port of Orleans, LSU/football, Saints/Pelicans/NOLA tourism, fish/wildlife, the gambling draw in Shreveport/LC, oil&gas) and just how amazing it is the corrupt politicians have pissed all that away.

The coast in MS has some things going on, but other than that, there just isn’t shite in this state...Jackson and Meridian, two of the biggest cities here, are completely depressing places to visit.

I’m admittedly a big city guy though, I miss Houston (where we were before this).
