Seems like there's a real hole in the demographic there between about 19 and 35 years old.


Definitely true to an extent. A lot of it has to do with how expensive the area is. But that has to be the nicest areas in Louisiana to live

Louisiana's trajectory has been downward since at least the days of Huey Long, and that's due to the voters. Their concern isn't their careers, it's making sure they can go see their cousin in Opelousas every other weekend, and have a boat that is worth more than their doublewide to go fishing every weekend, etc. They will turn a blind eye to political corruption, put up with public schools that are utter trash, and make excuses for anything and everything. But culture!

Meh, if you make decent money you can have a solid quality of life in Louisiana.

And it’s funny that you think people should value their careers over their family.
