One of the nicest suburbs in the nation that is on the verge of outgrowing itself


Had a job offer to work with Eaton there right out of school. If it is one of the nicest suburbs in the nation ain't no way I could have afforded to live there with what Eaton was offering me.

The fact that Nashville isn’t on this list is laughable



I live in Nashville and most people moving here can't afford to live in Nashville they live outside of Nashville as far as Murfreesboro Mt Juliet Smyrna etc etc

That 620k includes lots of New Orleans East being populated.
Yep. The East is a huge land area that's almost as large as the rest of New Orleans. At Nola's peak, the East was a booming suburban area within New Orleans (like a much larger Lakeview). Now it's an urban wasteland that's probably only a quarter occupied and will never reach peak occupancy again.

How could it possibly be redeveloped?

There is a decent street grid there, but it's also somewhat isolated from the rest of the city being on the other side of the industrial canal.

Are there any areas in there that don't suck and could be a foundation for redevelopment?

Atlanta has bankers and businessmen and engineers. New Orleans has nothing like that.


I know man, I had to retain an engineering expert and I had to go all the way to Coeur d'Alene Idaho. Also, the lack of "businessmen" in the city is really disheartening.

The New Orleans metro area, which covers New Orleans and the surrounding eight-parish region, gained 4,500 people from 2016 to 2017, an increase of less than 1 percent, according to the estimates.


The whole area slowed, it isn't just the city itself.

In reality we have an incomplete picture because the city could be growing while the other Parishes shrink.

New Orleans is well above its weight class when it comes to food and culture.

It's barely competitive with Baton Rouge or Mobile when it comes to white collar jobs - and those cities are also under-performing for their size. It's been a big problem in New Orleans since the 1980s.
