I think it has a lot to do with all of the apartments built all over the city in the 80s and 90s. They're usually fine for a while and then turn to shite.

They were built to maintain the growth of the University and were intended as student housing. Unfortunately, a certain element flocked to those locations and ran the students off, which prompted construction of better, more expensive apartments elsewhere throughout the city.

My wife and I lived in a condo on South Brightside View several years ago and it was perfectly fine. We had a nice little patio covered with plants everywhere. A ton of grad students. No problems aside from a few stolen packages.

We rolled through there about 2 years ago on a nostalgia kick and I simply couldn't imagine living there now.

I lived on Alvin Dark in the 90s. I took my wife and kids through there to show them my old place maybe 5 years ago. They were like "holy shite dad"

Close to Bawell St, someone was shot. Pretty bold to shoot someone there, with the amount of eyewitnesses on College Dr.

A 50 year old man was shot to death on Tuscarora St, over the weekend as well. The summertime is almost here, the killing season for Baton Rouge.

it used to be crime was isolated now it seems to be random and all over the city in areas you used to not have to worry about that's what is really sad

You hang out around any of those areas?

The crime has been largely contained to the hood areas.

I wonder what causes the warmer months to be more violent? It's not like it's cold most days during the winter where you wouldn't want to be outside.

Hoodrats are out in the streets more often, going to and from convenient stores (Ragusa’s ect ect) these people don’t stock their shacks with groceries, cold drinks ect. The hotter weather makes these people fly off the handle quicker. There’s a higher likelihood during the summer months in BR hoodrats will run into other hoodrats who are beefing with each other in the streets off of Plank.
