I noticed a similar thing when I was in Portugal
Portugal doesn't have a damn near national crisis like we do with diseases spread through dirty needles and other shite like they.
Their handling of drugs and drug laws is much more beneficial both economically and socially. And yes, I've also been to Portugal.

Florida Blvd seems like another area that we could gentrify but maybe it's too close to the hood.
The neighborhoods on the south side of Florida by and large are not bad. Florida's problem is that the lots along the highway are simply too massive to be utilized currently, and too small to be developed into profitable single-family residential, and not desirable enough to develop into large multi-family mixed use.
There is simply too much dilapidated commercial property and incompetent connecting road infrastructure.

South BR will be the first to go. It's perfectly nestled between LSU and downtown.
Yep. As soon as they finish moving the sewer plant (the expansion at Gardere is already finished), that area will take off like a rocket. Several of the largest developments along Nicholson are already well underway. The only thing holding up some of the planned developments along highland is their racist metro-council rep who doesn't want any white people moving into her neighborhood.

Heaven forbid any of these new developments serve alcohol. Ms. Wicker will be voting against it with the quickness.

lol Imagine the complaints once the cheap housing is gone. East Austin is going thru this right now and people are complaining left and right

Baton Rouge has the highest incident rate of empty housing stock outside of Detroit. There is no shortage of cheap housing. There is a shortage of cheap housing that is both safe and convenient traffic wise. Since the section 8 leaches don't work, they shouldn't get to hog the land that's both convenient to downtown and LSU and has nice architecture. There's plenty of housing stock out in mall city, Plank Road, and Merrydale that they can move into.

lol Baton Rouge's housing market will never eclipse Austin's

Whether they work or not, it's insane that so much prime real estate--in almost every city--is wasted on slums. Middle class workers have to live way the frick out in suburbs just to get away from the trash. Think of all the wasted gas and time in traffic for commuting due to subsidized housing. The sprawl, the pollution. all Bc subsidized housing puts trash where it doesn't belong.

So much this. That's why conservatives were so crazy to overreact to Obama's plan to section 8 the suburbs. They didn't realize that it was part of a grand racist progressive rope-a-dope to trick the leaches into swapping land with the productive citizens, allowing the city centers to be revitalized and causing the hoodrats to be stuck in the suburbs without the population density to be a threat to anyone else. It was actually pretty brilliant.

What does North Baton Rouge have that would draw anyone who would gentrify it though?
An open grid road plan for starters with access to multiple highways. It also has a number of parks
NBR will never be gentrified though because there are no good private schools in the area. White families will not move to NBR unless they can avoid the public school system.

Yep, the current metro council is messed up enough, they will prevent any actual progress with every breath they take.

It would be really nice if the Tigerland/Sharlo/north side of Brightside neighborhoods were bought by real estate investors, torn down, and revamped because that area could potentially be what it was originally intended for years ago. Instead, the current situation there is blighted apartment/condo buildings full of residents that don't care about keeping their housing visually appealing nor safe for people to spend any time moving around there. While those investors are buying up land there, they should also purchase the shacks on Jennifer Jean and gentrify those properties. STOP BUILDING BRAND NEW APARTMENTS ON BURBANK/BEN HUR

It's all because there's one, I repeat one, section 8 complex behind Tigerland. 90% of the thefts and murders in that neighborhood are committed by the residents in that one complex. It's insane that the city can't/won't do anything about it.

I feel like there's a never ending supply of leaches and they'd destroy the suburbs while still holding on to the urban areas.

Sweet, you have grades 9-12 covered for the new and affluent NBR residents, but what are you suggesting they do for PreK-8?? I'll hang up and wait for your response...JS

Can we get rid of the section 8 housing in tigerland?
Crime is like cockroaches back there, scurrying into the dozens of traphouses. impossible to track or stop.
