That's funny...just WHAT, do you think the city council/mayor can/will do about all the rampant crime ? Politicos won't even speak about the ROOT causes...they can't bring themselves to even verbalize the issues, in fear of losing minority/dem votes !
Fatherless youth roam the streets like packs of wild law-less animals,young women and men with so little respect for THEMSELVES that neither their own lives or those of others are of any value. Non-existent community leadership, when someone with work ethic/responsibility does succeed...the first thing they do is DISTANCE themselves from the "culcha" and are promptly labeled as uncle Tom's...shall I go on ???

Are you saying it's not big enough to be stocky or hoping someone asks how much you weigh in response to what you consider stocky?

Because they don't leave with loads of cash. The vast majority are credit card tips and they will be on the servers check. Majority of the tips they may get in cash will probably end up as a tip out.
You really don't think servers and restaurants haven't thought about this?

Although crime can happen anywhere in NOLA, Washington Ave. is not known to be a real safe street. They've had like 4-5 reported crimes on Washington just in the last 4 or 5 days. You've just been fortunate. It's odd that Commander's Palace sits on that street, but then again, it has been there since the late 1800s before a certain segment of the population started acting like it's the Wild Wild West.
Brah, you know Washington Avenue between St. Charles and Magazine is dead in the center of some of the most prime real estate in the city. Maybe only The area bounded by Jefferson/Audubon Park/st Charles/magazine plus a few blocks of palmer/Calhoun/state on the lake side of st Charles are more expensive, blue blood neighborhoods than that ~20 square block area. Washington gets sketchy by Tchoupitoulas and lakeside of st Charles, but that's New Orleans. The area where these robberies are occurring is about as expensive as it gets.

Jefferson Parish is just as bad
JP definitely has spots that are every bit as shady as NOLA. But as a person living in NOLA, I generally feel considerably safer in JP.

My roommate works at a high end restaurant and a bar and always has a ton of cash tips.

Yea Commander's is no different. The staff is leaving with cash in their pockets, I can promise you that.

Are people going to argue about how it's safe in their Uptown area? I've always loved that argument, especially after living there for 30 years.

In most places people and businesses are not forced to live this way

They still have cash tips
And when I was a waiter all the credit card tips got cashed out
I would leave work every night with literally wads of cash, so much so when I'd go deposit it in the bank some tellers would look at me strangely and ask where I got so much cash... as if it were illegally gained
as far as I know they don't turn credit tips into a check to give to employees, then it would be documented income, and would ruin the ruse of being able to pay waiters less than minimum wage because they make up for it in tips, and would ruin the ruse of waiters claiming WAY less than they make to avoid taxes
c'mon baw

Ahhhh word. Agree with ya there

When will the mayor, council, police chief, community leaders etc wake up and admit that blacks are the ones doing this and they are a cancer on society. It's amazing the more we give these people the worse it gets. I do believe New Orleans has finically reached the point that groups are going to stop coming there, tourism dollars are going to fall off and it will become a complete war zone

Even if NO had a Rep mayor and council nothing much would change. The national mindset of victimhood would have to disappear and people would have to take more personal responsibility.
Which means it will never change

No, it's safe because the OT's resident junkie, supersaint, says he doesn't feel unsafe anywhere in the city

It is time for the City Council and Mayor candidates to start talking specifically about what they are going to do about it.
Hire the right police chief, Pennington proved that will work. He made the necessary changes within the department, then reduced crime in the city. Too bad he lost the mayoral election, probably could have kept reducing crime by hiring a comparable replacement.
