If it was legal and you could smoke your hardships away at the end of the day openly without fear of property forfeiture or arrest
I love how you druggies bring this up when it has nothing to do with anything

This is probably the best post to describe BR. Both BR/NOLA are shitholes but NOLA is cultured with plenty of redeeming factors to elevate itself. BR is uncultured and a shithole.

I despise BTR.
If you took a town and said given your positive attributes and strategic advantages please go and frick this thing up as bad as you can....that would be Baton Rouge.

I love living in BR. None of the perceived problems of living here are particularly hard to mitigate. People who think BR is a shithole are, generally speaking, shitpeople.

What you see on this board when people talk about these large Southern cities we live in is our horror at the degradations of formerly super-nice areas into crime-ridden ghettoes. It's a depressing transformation. The black underclass is thousands deep in the very worst kind of prison-life social pathologies, there are face-tattooed rednecks everywhere you look, there are meth heads and hookers outside the doors of the convenience store you go to,all the retail space seems run down and needs a coat of paint, the 10:00 news is a relentless assault on normalcy, the schools are failing, the stupidest people tend to be holding the microphone, etc etc ad nauseum.
Normal people now have to make a conscience decision to avoid the societal chaos. You have to carve out a life where you intentionally avoid all these vast armies of Zombie Americans. It's not just Baton Rouge and Jackson and New Orleans, It's America. We are carving out smaller enclaves of prosperity against the broader failing areas. It just feels so different that the period through the 90's.

You call Alexandria living

There are plenty of places I'd live in over Baton Rouge and a lot that I wouldn't. Alexandria is definitely one of the latter.

Is it true, or is the shitholiness exagerated?
Just like most everything else on the OT, I think it’s greatly exaggerated. I like living here for my own reasons.

I live in BR and definitely think it’s a shithole. I prefer larger cities.

BR is not a shite hole.
People just like to be negative.
I've lived here for nearly 9 years and I love it.
