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
Places where it has been legalized don’t see much of the illegal market surviving. The black market rarely can compete with a relatively free market when legit is an option.

I live in BR. The RTA is much better than CATS, but it still has a lot of room for improvement.

#11 - this just seems like a bad idea - and where would Arabi go? That’s St. Bernard Parish
Arabi was a typo. I edited it. I meant Algiers. I’m not saying it needs to leave the Parish, but it should not be run by the east bank.

Google black market marijuana in Colorado - and like I said I’m not against legalizing - and I think it would be better for prostitutes if it were legal as well - but it’s not going to ‘just get better’ because it’s legalized or decriminalized (your neighborhood pusher is not going to start paying tax to the state out of the kindness of his heart) - because right now in NOLA no one is getting arrested anyway and those neighborhoods are hell holes
All transit systems could use improvement - but RTA is light years ahead of CATS - the streetcar is slow - that’s not going to change, and it shouldn’t
As for Algiers - my family is from the Channel - we always thought Algiers should be it’s own place - lol - just a joke - but apparently it was a neighborhood thing through the 1960s - not sure what to say about it - it’s always had it’s good and bad parts - like the rest of NOLA
