Family often seems like prison wardens. Keeping Louisiana people from leaving and living better.
The DAY I retire I’m taking my family and leaving. -6 year countdown. There is literally nothing here that I can’t have somewhere else and let my kids build their lives and family outside of a third world country. I can cook with the best of them. LSU sports I can watch anywhere. Fishing is probably the only thing that will decline.

Savannah is very small and seems like it could be very cliqueish. Very much haves/have nots. Not much of a middle class. Hunter Army AFB is nearby. Hoodrats are nearby. Other than outlet mall, no real shopping to speak of. Hilton Head, St. Simons and Jekyll are all nearby and beautiful. Could be a better place to live than N.O. but not necessarily a garden spot.

I left out as someone else mentioned that Savannah is a great food town.
If you like ice cream, I highly suggest Leopold's. It's in the River District. I am not kidding when I say that it is the best ice cream that you will ever put in your mouth. Ridiculous!
If you get out to Tybee the Crab Shack is a must.

Step One: Leave Louisiana
Step Two: Figure out the rest later

I did see this Landings area seems like massive gated community with every amenity possible, good for young families as well.
Yeah Skidaway is a pretty idyllic setting to raise a family if you're ok with that setting

Savannah has quite a few more cold days than NO. Not overly cold, but they will hit the low 40's in the winter.
But yeah, the summer humidity is oppressive as frick. Once you get out to Tybee/The Islands it ain't as bad.

Only thing w/Pooler is that it is Chatham County Schools.

How much Rincon has grown over the years is pretty wild. In the mid 80's it was pretty much a one stop light town.
Richmond Hill is the same way. I became familiar w/it when I was at Ft.Stewart back in 03 and '04. I was down there again for a 1st round football playoff game this past November and it had grown just since then.
It's a nice town.

I have thought about selling my place here and moving there to downsize and put the money into a boat. But family keeps me tied to LA.
Am I missing something here? Why wouldn't your family want you to go somewhere you can be better off?
When I was in Louisiana I was obese getting drunk off my arse, thinking it's normal because there was always someone worse off than myself to look at.
Since leaving Louisiana my relationship with food has been flipped on its head, I've lost close to 60 pounds, I was able to find stable employment for the first time in my life, and I'll graduate college in a year.
If you are going somewhere and the change is for the better, your family should understand that. My family was skeptical when we left, but none of them would want anything else for us. They ask if we are planning on moving back closer to home, but when we bring up our hesitations they understand because the proof of how good change has been is there.
This is maybe more directed toward people who want to desperately leave because they are drowning emotionally/physically, but if family is the reason you're staying in one spot, please give it a chance. It might be the best thing you ever do. And if it is and your family resents you, frick 'em.

You forgot Ft. Stewart also.

The answer from moving to any city outside of LA is almost always an astounding yes. They should 100% do it.

Yeah, I used to travel through Rincon on the way to Savannah Tybee a few times a year and it was something to see that town gradually grow. It seemed to really take off after they widened Hwy 21. I don't go that way as much now, with Hwy 25 widened it's faster for me to go that way and pick up I-16 just below Statesboro

We looked at buying in the historic district.
Their little theater (equivalent of Le Petite) kept their front door locked except when the plays were happening. This was 25 years ago.
The city had chosen to build housing projects on three of the four sides of the historic district, the fourth side was the water front.
SCAD was just getting started, and the kids were espressing themselves. You could tell they were SCAD by how different they worked at being.
Most days you couldn't smell the surrounding swamps.
The air was clean enough that the big crepe myrtles had Spanish Moss growing in them in the city.
There's a very competent marina there.
The city is unlikely to flood.
We know someone whose daughter bought near there, small house small yard huge oak tree; tree drove the asking price through the roof. I wonder if it's still there.
Nice people.

Let’s check them demos. Posted without commentary.
quote:
The racial makeup of the city was 55.04% Black, 38.03% White, 2.00% Asian, 0.03% Native American, 0.01% Pacific Islander, 0.93% from other races, and 2.01% from two or more races.

Seems like a smaller, slightly more competent and clean version of NOLA with more stuff to do within a short drive.
