re: What would it take to make NOLA great again?

I was one to downvote kingbob’s plan - I agree with #1, #8 and #12 - however -

#2 will never happen - most of the blacks always vote Democrat and the stupid hippie transplants do too - hell my NOLA family voted Democrat until very recently (2008)

#3 - most of the reason people went to work for the city was the salary, job security and other ‘benefits’ - not saying it can’t be overhauled but it will be very difficult for the people who have already parked their butts there

#4 - that stuff falls with the FQ preservation/historical society - they’ve got the goods on someone bc they’ve been bitch-asses for years - to solve this problem get rid of that society (yes they overlook the permits for the FQ)

#5 - that is a state law that NOLA can’t do anything about

#6 - I’m not against legalization/decriminalization of drugs or prostitution- but it will not get rid of the black market - the people selling who have been living at the edge of the law will not become legal just to be legal - they’re not going to pay tax to the big man - this cannot be taken care of with legalization

#7 - that’s messy for many reasons - the domicile requirements have been waived for NOPD for a while - however - it drives me up the wall when I see a NOPD vehicle parked at a residence in LaPlace

#9 - this is also a statewide problem - and it’s easily 50% of the parents fault, not sure if the city could really do anything about this

#11 - this just seems like a bad idea - and where would Arabi go? That’s St. Bernard Parish

#13 - Bayou St John is a lot better now than when I was a kid - trust me lol

#14 - this would entail cooperation from Jefferson Parish and lots of bribes for their politicians

#15 - if you think the RTA is bad - that’s bc you haven’t lived in a place with a bad transit system
