This is not good for the metro economy as a whole.

I'm pretty drunk right now, but how are rising real estate values bad for a local economy?

So JP isn't doing well, therefore raising property values in New Orleans is a bad thing? I'm not trying to be combatative, I just think your concern is short sighted. Make New Orleans a better city, it will make the area around it better as well.

So you're worried about the suburbs of New Orleans?
A lot of old Metairie folks are part of the issue. Almost every one of my high school friends who grew up in Metairie now resides in Orleans Parish. People who are 40ish with some cash in their account want to live in urban areas. And this isn't just in New Orleans. It's a national trend.

I disagree. In fact my observation is opposite. But, anecdotal evidence and all...

How far is it from Northline to St Charles Ave? If you live in Old Metairie, you're about 7 or 8 minutes from the CBD.

So, if I understand right, those in Metairie and other surrounding areas would rather New Orleans remain a shitty place? And they don't think that improving the major metropolitan area they live near and likely work in would be better for their property values?

Old Metairie IS an urban area. What are your friends seeking? Higher taxes? Slower emergency response times? Higher crime? More potholes?

Yeah I'm not really understanding...if someone can explain how higher property value is a bad thing, I'd love to hear it

JP Parish may have been busing internally since the 1970s but it didn't matter until the demographics of the Parish changed which has occurred mostly after Katrina.
The Catholic grammar school parishes (little parishes) used to be able to largely do what they wanted, but are now under some pressure to diversify because of the lack of kids and politics.
Some of the Catholic High Schools have largely been an anomaly based on tradition, and they have enrollment issues but the Jefferson suburban Catholic High Schools notably Rummel and Shaw are really under pressure. But these schools have been under pressure for Twenty Years, history reminds us of Mercy, Holy Angels and an all male De La Salle.
Maybe if Jesuit or other schools are smart they relocate to St. Tammany.

But why is New Orleans having higher real estate values a bad thing? Because people in surrounding areas will take a hit?
New Orleans improving itself is better for every suburban area around it. Perhaps not in the short term, but absolutely in the long term.

What they are trying to say is that with New Orleans pricing out the poorer folk, they will move to metairie and other outer areas. No one wants to live near poor people.

From someone who knows nothing about New Orleans, this has been a fun read.

The trash aren't movin to the eastern side of Metairie. Prices there from old Metairie to the lake are stupid crazy too

They are not necessarily bad, but they represent a supply shortage more then a huge aggregate demand. Yes things are better than in the 70s when people wanted to escape with their families and prices were low. Now single people and retirees are buying what is available in a slow process of gentrification.

True. It's pushed pretty much all the way to causeway.
