$725,000 to be adjacent to a municipal waste water treatment site! Damn, Fairhope is nice.
Except this house is nowhere near any treatment sites, so there's that. It is in the middle of a golf course, and backs up on a pond that is a retention pond, for rain.

Now, my apartment uptown on Nashville had a few criminal incidents. I left for the Northshore in 2000 and would never, never, never, move back into my hometown shithole.
Question for you guys over 40 who grew up in the city..... Back in the early 90's when Nola was setting murder records and it seemed like almost every neighborhood was going to crap except for Lakeview/Lakefront area, was the mood this bad about the future?

The same things bother me that are bothering you. But unfortunately this is life in the American inner city. We’re run by people who do not align with business owners, or even those of us who work for a living. But if we all left, the baby would be thrown out with the bath water. New Orleans is a beautiful city with great food, fairly vibrant economy, and name recognition around the world. It is worth doing your part to make it better. And if you are as successful as you say that you are, life can be quite good here.

You're just asking for a hurricane arse-raping. No thanks.

The 100 year storm just happened 16 years ago, so we’re good.

That house should be named “Hurricane Welcome Center”.
For $1.2 million, there’s much better at ten more feet of elevation.
No thanks.

Nice areas but vulnerable to hurricanes. I would want to move further inland.

I don’t worry about that shite. It’s not like we don’t have ample warning.

I have agreed with your sentiment for quite some time, but I am tired of getting nothing in return. You can view that as selfish, but I am taxed insanely high at the city, property, state, and federal level and in my opinion, have to deal with multiple tiers of shitty government, as we currently have a bad city, state, AND federal government. I get wanting to do better for my community, but our leaders seem to have no interest in doing that. I would prefer to take my taxes to somewhere where I will see SOME benefit, rather than horrible roads, schools, crime, and pandemic insanity. Just my opinion.

If you consider shotgun houses falling down beautiful. Sure the garden district is pretty but overall the city is anything but beautiful.

With what fricking metrics? Compared to to fricking Rio or Mexico city...sure. but not compared to other cities in the south. It's one of the worst.
Food is good and it does have name recognition but I'll be damned if this any reason to stay there. How often are you actually going out to dinner when you are married with 3 young kids, possibly a 4th??? Maybe twice a week at most?
I'm a guy who I feel could live almost anywhere and be happy, but Nola is a fricking shithole.

Also, "life can be quite good here," but it can also be pretty mediocre if I cannot take my 5 and 7 year old anywhere because they're not vaccinated. They've already had COVID, shook it off in a day, and I just don't see a reason to take the small risk so they can eat in a posh restaurant. This place has lost sight of everything that is important.

Honestly, Mandeville/Madisonville is a world away from New Orleans.

Here we go with this crap again.
Are you trolling or stupid with this take?
