Baton Rouge vs Shreveport

Baton Rouge is more dangerous but has better food and LSU

Shreveport is still very dangerous, has a better housing market, less nightlife and activities

Baton Rouge is an hour from Nola and Shreveport is a few hours from Dallas


To me- Baton Rouge is the better area because you can live somewhere like Zachary, Denham Springs or St. George.

But Shreveport will investigate if your daughter is gunned down, regardless of race so there's that.


The reality is that the states citizens have to start voting if they want change. Broome, Latoya and JBE.

Everyone that voted for this crew or didn't vote at all has this shite on their hands. You have to show up and create change.

Shreveport has a loop

Baton Rouge has a lot more to do and places to eat. Shreveport has minimal traffic. Both have high crime, even higher than what I believe they report. Shreveport seems like an absolute war zone. I can’t speak on Baton Rouge, I haven’t lived there in 13 years. I have really been thinking hard about packing up going some here else. I have googled crime rates in Nashville, Chattanooga, Springfield, Bentonville, Fayetteville, etc. They all seem as bad or worse than Shreveport. It doesn’t make sense to me. Especially when the demographics are completely opposite from Shreveport.

Fayetteville has as much crime as Shreveport? Link?

Chattanooga has some crime issues. Springfield (assuming you are talking about Missouri) and Bentonville are also way safer than BR or Shreveport.

I haven’t looked at the numbers but I’d be beyond shocked if the crime rate In Bentonville was on par with Shreveport.

I feel the crime in Shreveport is more confined to specific areas while Baton Rouge is dangerous everywhere.

. It used to be that way. Not so much the last few years. The folks (white and black) that live IN Shreveport are mostly blue and aren’t willing and are likely in denial of what the real problems are in Shreveport.

We just moved to Huntsville. I’ll miss the food, parades, the East Bank, my beautiful South Highlands house, and my lodge, but not a lot else. Shreveport is like a lot of Louisiana. It’s got a lot of charisma, and that’s about all its got.

Splitting hairs, but I like the short drives from Shreveport better.

Broken Bow, Hot Springs and NW Arkansas aren’t bad drives. But I’m a mountain/hills guys over a beach guy
