Prices range based on a few things including whether you are Catholic and whether you are a parishioner of the church attached to that specific school.

Non-Catholics go to those schools but you are expected to either pay more or do a bunch of service to the school as part of tuition.


That's really only the case in elementary school. For high school, they don't care, as long as you pay.

Until it’s the focus of an election year media frenzy.

Ask St Louis, Baton Rouge, Dallas, Baltimore, and Minneapolis about that. Everything is okay until there are 2,000 reporters in town and every talking head on the news is screaming “racism!”.


There aren't 2,000 reporters that care about NOLA...

NOLA's natural resistance to outsiders actually plays in our favor, here. If a bunch of media or Antifa types show up trying to stir the pot, they will be shown the door, by people of all colors.

but with the city being majority black


Objectively, some of the worst civil unrest this year occurred in the whitest metros in the US (Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis) — how do you reconcile this?

As someone who lives and works in downtown NOLA, the city’s demographic makeup was definitely on my mind when things began to pop off this summer. I thought for sure they’d burn this B down, only to see for myself that what *LITTLE* “unrest” there actually was came almost exclusively from disgruntled white kids from New Jersey/Connecticut who don’t wear deodorant. These are transient types who leave after 2-3 years. By 2030, they’ll be far from NOLA at some suburban school board meeting in TX loudly opposing gender norms. They’re coming for ya!

The self-loathing white liberal is who you really need to fear, and don’t be so naive to think the decline of cities like NOLA, Chicago, St Louis, Detroit, etc cannot be very quickly be replicated in other American cities. It’s already happening — look around you.

2) Suburban arenas/stadiums don't work in today's world. That's old news. Everyone is moving back downtown for this stuff.

one at the Lakeside Mall site would. That would be a great way to build up the CBD of Metairie and would be more convenient for fans from the North Shore
