I think there is a good chance the north shore continues to explode.

Ruston is booming. Two colleges and a worldwide corporate headquarters.

Lake Charles was looking promising until nature and Joe Biden got ahold of it.

There were several years there where Lake Charles’s explosive GDP growth was literally carrying the state and keeping Louisiana from showing negative GDP growth as a whole.

As it relates to Lake Charles, for example, a lot of the housing growth is outside the city limits. While you selected the city showing not much growth in population, the parish grew from 145k to 217k in your referenced years.

I don’t know if Monroe will be what it was in it’s hey day necessarily but I could see it getting better with the new mayor. He seems to have his act together.

Correct answer especially now that Ruston isn't dry anymore

Not a city but the I-20 corridor between W Monroe and Minden isn’t bad. Some rolling hills, squire creek, Ruston, Minden, 3 recreational lakes nearby….

Aren’t the Maurice/Youngsville/Broussard areas of Lafayette Parish blowing up?
Yes, but the city of Lafayette is stagnant. I'm seriously considering building in Maurice if we don't move out of state. It's a really nice town that's clean and in a good school district. It's also an easier commute into Lafayette if you catch Johnson at the right time.

Okay this is a little to far away considering the rampant suburbanization of the area such as Metairie etc.

Much of that wasn’t even built yet

Y’all act like they haven’t been booming for 20 years.
Traffic is a clusterfrick, but maybe they will catch up with infrastructure building one day
