Convince me that living in Louisiana is better than Mississippi

Money.

Seriously.

One of my good friends left Mississippi making 10 bucks an hour. He makes 6 figures in sales now. Age 24.

We have a governor that believes in science and doesn’t literally want people to die of the most deadly pandemic in human history

I'd live along the Mississippi gulf coast in a heartbeat over almost any place in Louisiana.

Ocean Springs/Biloxi coastline >>>> the entire state of LA.

The Covid thing has skewed a lot of perceptions. LA blows by almost every metric but so does MS. Yes they’re opening first, but when all this ends eventually you’ll be wondering why you moved there.

I’ll give you that. Especially when it comes to engineering salaries and the abundance of opportunities to work in a plant as an employee or contractor doing mechanical / electrical work.

Mississippi is the only state I wouldn’t leave home for

13,000 a year die of AIDS. Covid killed way more in a year

First mistake.

I was a life long New Orleanian, lived uptown all my life. When I retired, I looked around at all the crime and the state of the local government and decided to moved full time to Bay St Louis, spend most summers here before. Love it over here. Will never move back. no real crime, not much traffic, nice restaurants, fish when the weather allows. Nola can burn down as far as I'm concerned now. But property values are going up fast, good properties dont stay on the market more than a couple of days.
