...those living in New Orleans East, where roughly one-fifth of the city's population resides.
I mean, not to point out the obvious but...
Can't believe businesses don't want to invest where there is rampant crime, poverty, and a culture of willful ignorance.

Children’s Palace in the East was awesome in the 80s.
I think that was the name of that big toy store

I have an idea.
Make it a separate city with its own Mayor, and Police Department, and city council.

This is only changes if the residents change. Businesses go where there is demand for their service or product. As long as New Orleans East residents choose to be trashy then only trashy businesses will locate there.

do they think a whole foods magically appearing will solve all their problems? They always talk about "coffee shops, parks, thriving small business". You simply cannot have ANY of those things with a crime problem.
Or money. Those places are expensive and require a solid middle to middle upper class clientele. Locals on welfare or making working class wages won’t support such businesses even if crime were under control

As if capitalism doesn’t exist in the hood and these “deserts” are not a direct response to the actions of the people in the neighborhood robbing them blind.
Capitalism absolutely exists in the hood. Ever talk to a drug dealer? Those guys are business smart as frick. Many could be successful entrepreneurs in a legal business but choose a life of crime
These areas are a result of choices and culture of the locals. Businesses who exist there simply fill a need. The reality is a high end grocer won’t have sales volume in the hood just like a Mercedes dealership wouldn’t sell many cars but a used car lot offering clunkers on financing with high interest and no credit required will make bank there

Man I hate that fricking place.
Although I ran into a redbone gal in the NAPA on Bullard, she was working there, very attractive lady. Looked like Jessica Alba.

I’m no expert on New Orleans but I think the answer here is fathers in the household, placing a high value on education and responsibility, and discipline.

If the fed govt would adopt my plan of having food stamp recipients only able to use their SNAP cards at a food distribution center (mandatorily staffed by welfare recipients) that only gave out staple foods (no sodas, little Debbie’s, etc), then two grocery stores would probably be plenty for NO East.
Your plan would spawn an additional business next door. “Discount Government Food”.
You could probably get cheese for $1 per pound and the merchant would still show a profit. Rice would be free there too if one was willing to take at least 5 pounds of it away from the premises.

Better idea…replace Food Stamps with a WIC type program that allows certain WIC approved items like ground beef, cheese, milk, etc.
Another idea would be to ban sugary foods and sodas from Food Stamps like the prohibition of hot food.

The Vietnamese live pretty good over there. IDK how they keep the trash out…probably with force.
I recently transferred to the east, I can confirm that their neighborhoods are just as disgusting and fit in with the east very well.
That community is into drugs and criminal activity just as much, maybe even more, they’re just smarter about it.

And if the Fed government would get out of the low income real estate business the entire country would be better off
