Biggest loser in St. George vote?

I say the Kenilworth area. Aging housing stock and values are going to take a major hit now that they’re going to be outside the StG boundary. I’d be pretty depressed if I bought over there in the past 5 or so years.

Thats why Miss Terry sold her apartment complex.

Anyone who bought in Capital Heights/Garden District the past few years. Those hyper-inflated housing values are easily going to see six-figure drops.

Kenilworth is a 40-50 year old subdivision. It already suffers from being close to better, or at least more recent, subdivisions like Walden and Rouzan on one side and very close to the culcha club that is off Staring on the other.

It wont change that much. This is mostly about schools and people in “nice” BR neighborhoods send their kids private anyway

I’m still struggling to grasp how it only won by a 9 point margin
Which areas of EBR were allowed to voters this?

the proposed StG area
there was an effective campaign of lies saying taxes will skyrocket that confused voters, plus there are a bunch of elitist-type liberals in the area. lots of limousine libs abhor the thought of not living in "Baton Rouge" (even though they never did), at least publicly

Richard Lipsey.
Skip Bertman.
Those two are complete asshats that put their big names out there for something so stupid and they lost anyway.

To narrow it a bit, the campaign of lies appears to have been heavily targeted at older voters who were more likely to vote and less likely to see the aim of a school district as a benefit.

The fear mongering campaign from Lipsey and Skip did a lot of work.
Lies about taxes, police protection, fire and ambulatory services, garbage and so on.
They may have cut the margins down but close only counts in horseshoes and grenades and they're eating shite this morning.

This. It terrifies me how effective their lies were on the voters. We have so many dumb fricking people in this state.

Without seeing the breakdown by precinct, I suspect that the super-rich, super-white areas that TBR loves to point to (CCL, U-Club, etc.) were probably some of the largest pockets of opposition as they have very little direct stake in improving public schools. Their kids will go to private school regardless.

I don’t think anything really changes for Baton Rouge...except that more parish funding will stay closer to the taxpayers.

A quick look at the Secretary of State’s result page and the EBR.maps.arcgis website showing precincts says you’re totally wrong. Most of those areas went 2/3 for becoming a city.

They wouldn't if the public schools were worth a damn... ppl with money don't become that way by spending it all over the place... I guarantee you if they didn't have to drop 12k per year on education, they wouldnt

Kenilworth has been inside BR city limits for years.
