Democrats used to be the conservative party.

They were the party of slavery, racial segregation, and the New Deal. Not really conservative. Just evil.

Your question should be: "What's wrong with the people who stayed?"

You live there for a few years and its apparent very quickly that the city is so broken in so many ways. SWB is a joke. Garbage pickup is erratic. The street paving situation is a disaster. The streetcars run on a schedule written on the back of toilet paper. Other than not being able to provide drinking water, pickup trash, and move people around the city it's great except for the crime.

Still is the best place for a long weekend.

Used to do 5 or 6 of those a year. Stopped quite a few years ago for obvious reasons. Such a shame.

Yeah, I just drove down there about 45 mins ago. No water other than a puddle or 2 here and there on the roads.

The water receding this am? I have a grand daughter living in bucktown, and they were very concerned about flooding last evening.

Peak water was around 10 PM. If they didn't get water in their house by then, it was probably fine.

I know some in the area got a little water, but I honestly don't think it was widespread. (In-home flooding, I mean - the water in the streets definitely came way up in the whole area.)

so we sayin it rained and nawlins is holding water again gotcha

think the people who live in the city of BR should’ve had a say so in the incorporation of St. George especially since it’s going to affect us so much

You did and kept electing Sharon Broome types. She, who you likely voted for multiple times created StG.

There was significant street flooding and sewer problems in Jefferson Parish last night, due to the overwhelming amount of rain. But I get it, that doesn't fit your narrative. Also lots of flooding in the river parishes, and we know what happened in BR in 2016, point is everyone will deal with this eventually.

Not defending SWBNO, but water is a regional issue that doesn't care about our political boundaries.

Oh no, liberal women want to ban men from having any free speech! This is a complete shock to everyone. Words you dislike. Sex you regret. That uppity little girl dating your son. Men who speak without being spoken to. The Matriarchy is a wonderful place where everyone gets along and the trains run on time.
