I'm staying here forever. Yeah, it is a shithole, but it has its perks too.
I want to not go into the office and drive to Bayou Petit Caillou with some chicken necks and string and catch crabs all damned day long.
I want to throw my cast net at robinson canal and haul in shrimp all damned night.
I want to shoot doves off my fence with a pellet gun.
I want to tailgate for 12 hours before a home game, and not be the only person around.
I want to catch an alligator or a big snapping turtle crossing the road every now and then.
I want to run trout lines for catfish in the river battress.
I know I can do this in lots of places, but I can do it here, and I am already here, so I might as well stay.

There really should be a separate question for Louisiana and New Orleans.
ETA- and I'd take a pay cut to live in NO.

Wife and I have vowed- we are out once the youngest is in college.
Looking at the ft. Myers/Naples area.
3 yrs to go
Louisiana is a shithole. Depresses me to go other places and then come back to this place.

I have Saints/LSU football season tickets and enjoy fishing/hunting/cruising the river on weekends that I am not at a sporting event. Point me in the direction of a state that I can enjoy all of the above and I will take a look at it.

You sound scared of change. The things you list as reasons to stay are the exact reasons/challenges that I enjoy living in a new city.
Meeting new people, hustling professionally, finding new hidden gems. All things some people would enjoy.
Service providers aren't fun no matter your location.

Moved to California for our son. If it wasn't for him, I would move back to New Orleans in a heartbeat

I will never live in Baton Rouge again. I probably will always live in Louisiana. Love the saltwater fishing and hunting. Live in St Amant area now, probably will venture farther south as I get older and family starts to die off.
Lived in Kansas for about 6 months around the Wichita area. It doesn’t get any worse than that. Drive in movie theaters and giant storms was about the only cool parts

I get to do all that stuff when I’m on vacation. It’s not like I’ve never been anywhere else. I’ve been to most of the states in the US, I’ve been to a lot of countries overseas, but I just like it here.
My knock about Houston is that it’s too similar to where I came from, but it doesn’t have my bubble. I like my bubble, it is a good bubble, you wish you had a slice of bubble as I do trust me. If I’ve got a good bubble why would I want to leave my bubble? Seriously, change for changes sake isn’t necessarily good. If it’s not broken why in gods hell would I ever want to fix it?
If you want me to burst my bubble, you better provide me with a place that is significantly better than the place where I have my bubble. Houston is not that place, and neither is Atlanta, Dallas, or any of those other sprawling post-war clusterf$&k towns in the South or those frozen, rusted-out shitholes in the Mid West.

Will you also be gracing us with the gift of leaving this Louisiana majority and driven website?

Was “bubble” on your word of the day calendar today?

Better dating prospects
This is really the only big advantage for me. The dating pool here for people after college with no kids is really and truly awful.
My career prospects seem to be panning out finally and offering good money, so I’m not hurting. I have plenty to do between Lafayette, the North shore, BR, and New Orleans.
I make new friends regularly, but it’s good to already have a solid base of old friends to do stuff with.
