Meh, earth’s weather is in cycles. In a month you’ll be complaining of the heat and no rain.

but does everywhere else have few areas with public schools of middling quality (nationally)?
what about insane crime and poverty rates?
what about incredibly high COL in any non-rural area that isn't overrun with lower class mentality?
what about high insurance rates?
what about paltry white collar job opportunities or a major urban area that can attract them?
do these areas have all of that, too?

Nope. This state is too undereducated to do that

Did exactly this and haven’t looked back. Great piece of mind being 120’+ above sea level and on top of a hill. Plus way less people. I didn’t move far enough north to get away from the hurricanes but it’s still a vast improvement over my last house at 10’ above sea level with encroaching crime, over priced property values shite schools and traffic.

Weren’t you in Houma, or close to it?

Yep west side of Houma. My home in MS was about 30% cheaper than anything comparable in Houma plus I have acreage which you can’t get there.

My dumbass left Louisiana when I was 18. Served all over the world for 21 years in the Army and decided to come back home when I was 39. It’s home. It’s where all my family and friends are.
But 8 years later has made me hate this shitty city and at least want to move to East Texas where I’m still close to home but don’t have all the crime and hear gunshots and sirens on a daily.

My biggest gripe with SELA. Absolutely ridiculous and I cannot wait to get out of this shithole.

Move towards mixed used neighborhoods that have retail, grocery, office space, restaurants, coffee shops etc within walking and biking distance.
A giant block of homes where you must have a car and drive 10 or 15 minutes to get places is inefficient and shitty city planning.

We have this stuff in America called land. Even in your ideal vision, you'd still need "car culture" to connect cities that are now the distance of 3 European countries apart
Not necessarily; you can acheive this with high speed trains but god forbid "freedom loving" Americans give up their money pits called cars.

Euro-style planning will only work in the most congested areas, aka, the NE Megolopolis. It makes no sense anywhere else.
Not really, you can start on a city level by making individual cities more mixed zoning and more walkable and bikeable.

The above is the first in a series that discusses all the problems with suburbs and how the planning around them is a net drain on cities and governements.

My friend was echoing your exact sentiments last time we played La Tour. He’s got two kids that he’s still supporting. He claimed the COL for him would be around 30% less if he moved to MS. I’d hate to see him go, but if what he said is true, how could I blame him?
I just don’t understand how property values are what they are in Houma. Especially with the decline in GOM O&G business. But even by my parents property on Bayou Blue, they’re building anywhere possible. I can’t figure it out. But they’re welcome to pay me a nice fee when I sell that 10 acres I’m gonna inherit lol.

Grew up in SW Louisiana and moved in high school
It’s a special place but every time I go back it’s sad how slowly it’s declining.

Same here. Moved to Texas to start high school and only moved back to LA to go to LSU for 4 years.
I can comfortably say I will never move back.
It's slowly dying and it won't recover. If only I could convince my family to leave.

I am trying to leave within the next year or so. I came back here in 2014, and wish I'd never left Texas. Husband's parents were 86 at the time. We moved back to be near them. The very next year, the company he transferred with ( and his DFW pay) closed the BR office. He's gone through another layoff since then. Every job since then has paid way, way less.
It's not about the weather- it's money. The weather just makes it worse, the constant threat of flooding, hurricanes, etc has made my homeowner's insurance crazy high. It's just not something I can continue to pay on less money than we'd make elsewhere.
