This guy gets it.
Higher real estate prices are a Godsend for New Orleans. The trash of that city needs to be pushed out. If you don't like the higher cost of living, then you should probably be listed as among those on the way out.

New Orleans real estate is a fricking joke compared to where I live. And I am jealous of people from New Orleans bitching about their cost of living.
Dude you are completely missing the point. The area described in the OP is a fricking hood. The fact that someone would pay 300k for the opportunity to live in fear is pretty crazy.

If that was the point then I did miss it. Is it an area where growth is starting to be seen but it's a ways off? Genuinely curious.

Higher real estate prices are not a "Godsend", they are an effect of an increase in demand in a very inelastic supply. The "trash" of the city are not being pushed out, they are being pushed up against. They will continue to out breed the "non-trash" and scatter into suburbs that were once the refuge of families. Families, which are also not breeding at previous rates based on the enrollment at the better schools in the city.

Don't feel sorry for y'all. It's retarded over here in Dallas.

They need tighter restrictions on section 8 housing. As long as this goes on the entire area will be a dump. Why would someone want to sell a place (a dump) that the government is giving a guarantee $1500 a month for?
because between taxes, insurance, and mortgage, that 1500 turns into just a couple of hundred. That is one of the reasons why the gentrification is happening at such an accelerated rate. The cost of doing business is much higher than before, and it's more profitable to sell.

Has been hurt by Lusher, Thomas Jefferson and Haynes. These three along with Franklin were recently ranked in the top 5 public schools in the state. The other being LSMS.

Hynes, not Haynes...

Gotcha. Thought it was the one on Metairie Road.
Which is a good school as well.

Your list was right the first time. Haynes is the Jefferson Parish high school ranked with those others. Hynes is a grammar school in Lakeview.

CNN/Money last week named New Orleans one of the worst cities for renters in the U.S. Housing prices have risen dramatically in the last few years, while the cost of living has stagnated.
New Orleans' best and worst quality is that people want to be here. In the last several years, the city has ranked on dozens of "best of" lists, while also ranking among one of the worst places for health, affordability — or rent. This month, CNN ranked New Orleans as the sixth worst city for renters.
Property value throughout the district has climbed as much as 125 percent since 2000, while the city's cost of living has remained stagnant.

Property values have risen 125% since 2000, but cost of living has remained stagnant? Sounds like a rent increase is overdue.

Thought I was right. Just too lazy to check.
A lot of people have gone that route. Along with less children, it is certainly a factor to lower enrollments in the private schools. Maybe Newman can go to a lower classification and finally win a football state championship...

So you're worried about the suburbs of New Orleans?
Posted on 5/31/15 at 4:45 pm to glassman
I don't think Luscher and Thomas Jefferson are in the top5, maybe the top 10. Talking about the state's report card scores.

Where do functional families with children live? If they are priced out of Orleans and Jefferson is turning bad, that doesn't leave much.

If the neighborhoods are nice enough, those being pushed out of "New Orleans Proper," for lack of a better term, will not be able to settle there anyway. If the neighborhood wasn't nice enough, then isn't that on the neighborhood?
Posted on 5/31/15 at 5:46 pm to AbitaFan08
The neighborhoods are one issue, and if everyone went to their neighborhood public or archdiocese school the free market with some healthy tribalism could perhaps work itself out. But Jefferson Parish and the Archdiocese have been busing as of late so the value of a neighborhood is in decline.
The point is Jefferson may be experiencing a faster decline then Orleans is experiencing a faster resurgence This is not good for the metro economy as a whole.

JP has been busing at least since the mid-70s. Haven't Catholic schools always accepted students from outside of their (state) parish?
I know people in St Tammany who sent their sons to Jesuit, and every Catholic high school in Orleans Parish has many students from JP.
