Those businesses closed due to the downturn in the market, not because Lafayette has ghetto leadership and high crime. The city has held up pretty well. Not many businesses have closed in Lafayette proper

Those are some of the highlights from the U.S. Census Bureau’s recent population estimates for 2016 released in March. The data show a city that is growing, though very gradually. Babies born here -- not people moving in -- are propelling the growth. In fact, those moving away from New Orleans outpaced those moving in from elsewhere for the first time since the storm.

It was. Are you following? I said NOLA did not become a boutique city by choice. It is one now, but that is not how it began. That was the entire point I am making......

I mean it is up to the individual I guess as it is somewhat a made up term.

I see it as a city with charm and history that has higher prices due to this, and not the industry and opportunity it offers.

I like Laffayette, people love to clown on it, but it's a neat smaller city.
Like chatanooga, it could poise itself to be a tech player.

I'm sure Waitr and a host of other companies are creaming at the thought of another ghetto rabble rouser becoming Mayor of New Orleans

Chatanooga is actually a beautiful little town.

There are no redeeming qualities to Lafayette

Yeah, what a bunch of losers going after tech sector jobs. Lafayette should go after those sweet minimum wage service industry jobs.
