So we need to pray for another devastating storm to come so we can have 11 better years before it starts trickling downward again.

You bail on a place when your employer moves to Houston because they don't like whose in charge.

I would still like it. They can have insanely high taxes, crime, etc. It's still a cool city that beats living in bum frick new York in a nice town like Rochester or something.

Things were pretty bleak in NYC in the 1970s. Then people started investing in the area. Eventually a certain high profile real estate mogul spent about $100 million redeveloping the area around Grand Central. The area cleaned up very quickly. Crack heads and hookers were replaced by the 1980s version of hipsters.

They also had a mayor that was a bulldog when it came to crime take office, and their major financial industries never left.

In 20 years, NYC turned around entirely. They did because they had the money, the power, and the drive to do so. New Orleans doesn't have any of that.

Are you hopeful that LaToya Cantrell or Charbonnet are going to reverse course from Mitch's idiocy?


The city was on the upswing throughout most of Mitch's term.

I think her air bnb plan is a good plan...'


Her positives far outweigh her negatives and even her negatives outweigh anything Cantrell brings to the table

Otherwise, Charbonnet's plan would largely preserve policies set in motion by Landrieu and the City Council in recent years.

She said she would keep the “smart housing mix” plan that, if passed by the council, would require developers to reserve a portion of all new residential projects for affordable housing.



quote:

Charbonnet said she consulted some of the same advocacy groups that produced the HousingNOLA plan.

“They all agreed that this was a good plan, which gave me a very high comfort level that I was on the right track,” she said.


quote:

Charbonnet's plan says she would consider various proposals for cutting back on the number of Airbnb and VRBO short-term rentals, including a cap in neighborhoods zoned for single-family homes or a requirement that owners of rental properties have homestead exemptions for the properties.

The former move would further limit rentals in neighborhoods where they are already scarce, while the latter — which would require people to actually claim as their permanent residence the home they seek to rent to visitors — could have a much broader impact.

Affordable housing advocates say that short-term rentals reduce the number of units available to lower-income residents.

Short-term rentals “can change the character of our neighborhoods and remove affordable rental housing from the market,” Charbonnet said.

Once Cantrell really starts throwing punches it'll be a race to see who will be the bigger Santa Claus for the black community.

meh, that really doesn't concern me....im worried about crime, taxes, insurance, schools, roads, S&WB, and just cleaning up City Hall in general.

Cantrell had her chance, shes a puppet....she should be more worried about paying her income taxes from 3 years ago before she loses her house....

She is far superior than Cantrell in terms of intelligence. Latoya would be another Nagin.

Charbonnet is going to have to go further left to stave off Cantrell. The affordable housing crap is just the start. You can admit that it's a shite sandwhich, you don't have to pretend to be excited about another anti business black democrat.
