I don’t mean this to be insensitive with Delta on the horizon, but my family is rebuilding after Laura and my other cousin is halfway done with his dream home in Laffy and I’m trying to get them to realize it’s ok to leave Louisiana.

With the politicians,crime, and hurricanes, have you debated leaving for good?

I just don’t get why people keep putting up with it.

We left for good in 2011 and we don’t regret it.

I’ve lived in a few other states- the people and food are why I’ve stayed in Louisiana.

I can see leaving because of politics or crime in an area but I don't understand leaving because of hurricanes. If you live on the gulf, they are a fact of life but every place has issues.

Hell, IA and IL where hit by a land Hurricane (derecho) earlier in the year.
Every place has issues be it fires, floods, hurricanes, snow storms, earthqakes, drought, tornados, tsunamies, volcanos etc.

My parents are still cleaning up after Laura and I am fearful for them especially at their age but my Dad doesn't have any plan on leaving.

Been there, done that.

Miss the food and some family, but quality of life is much better elsewhere.

Every place has its pros and cons. I’ve thought about selling my compound on Lake Travis and finding a few acres around St. Francisville . Jobs to good to leave tho.

My family has already accepted the fact that my job allows me to relocate anywhere in the country I want to, so when my loan debt is paid off and I decide to get another local job I'd say there's less than a 5% chance of me coming back to Lousy-ana. The jobs here pay significantly less than other areas in the country combined with the terrible healthcare and public services. The company I work for has offered me a desk job in Nebraska several times already, and I'm likely going to take it.

Yep. Same here.

ETA: But it had nothing to do with hurricanes.

Family is what keeps most people here so no I don’t think many people will leave due to a storm.
