Shreveport/Bossier.

Just stay in Austin. Lafayette is one of the few places Id consider due to family if I could find a decent job to put my kids in Catholic School. I live between San Marcos and Austin and the schools here are top notch and there's virtually zero crime. You wont find that combination in Louisiana except for a handful of places.

We will look down our noses at you when you first move to Ruston. Don't distress, we may accept you about six or seven years in. You will have a set seat at church three or four years in. Karl may let you borrow his flip phone in year seven.
It’s not really too bad here. We have lots of beautiful neighborhoods, a nice golf course, basically two colleges, a great mountain bike trail and Dallas and NOLA are both just a four hour drive.

I'd say the Northshore. I moved my family to Baton Rouge 3 years ago to get back close to family. Public schools suck and the overall quality of life just doesn't compare to cities in other states. Just moved back to Atlanta...

Lafayette or Mandeville
My choices too, but when I think about it, I'll probably just be content to stay in western North Carolina.

Still better than having to deal with "culcha."

You don't get why people love the burbs of Texas because you're apparently content with old, run down, & small living.
No culture? Texas has as much, if not more culture than LA will ever have: music, cowboys/indians/mexicans, bbq, chili, rodeo, professional sports franchises (plural), music, CLEAN WATER LAKES & RIVERS, & more.
Yes, many of the buildings are cookie cutter-but guess what? So were all of the old buildings you love in LA that are now run down, filled with nasty tile & asbestos. They aren't being upgraded anytime soon either. Parking lots will remain shitty in size & quality. Towns can't expand roads to alleviate traffic either. LA has to be 1 of the Bottom 5 worst planned out & governed states in the country.
To the OP, move to Beaumont or Tyler (depending on N or S LA needs) if you want to be closer to your parents. You'll still be far better off in Texas & close enough to drive in whenever you want.

You'd be crazy to move from Asheville to Louisiana. I understand if it is a job or family situation, but Western Carolina's is just awesome place to live.

Never understood this mentality. Millions of people raise successful kids not having their grandparents around at all let alone only 7 hours away.

Typical response from people who have only ever lived in LA & nowhere else. The sheer small minded mentality that LA has to be the only place in the world with great culture is mind bottling...
Yes: Mardi Gras, Cajun/Creole, the music, the cuisine, the art, are all wonderful. But every state has their own culture. And in Texas, they've got far more of it-simply because there's more land giving way to more culture.
People that boast LA culture are the same people that vacation 1 week a year in Destin, FL & think it's the greatest.

I don't get it either. Mississippi has culture, as does Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Hawaii, New Mexico, and everywhere you go.
Culture is the major component of every human civilization.

If you want to be closer to your parents move to Houston.

quote:Yes, but sometimes that isn't the place you were born and raised anymore. For instance, the NOLA I was born into and fell in love with no longer exists in the same qualitative form. Sure, it's there geographically, yes. And there are still a lot of wonderful people and things about it. But since moving away back in 1984, I've come to appreciate the good things I remember, the good that is still there, but also am grateful I don't have to live in the middle of all the corruption and crime and cultural/moral decay.
Home is where the heart is.
All that said, I do miss the food (esp. poboys, beignets, snowballs), the laughter and music and memories and familiarity. But I don't miss the potholes, the relentless humidity, the political corruption, the ignorance, the ever-present and growing violent crime rate, and the ridiculous cost of living (real estate).
If I were going to move back to Louisiana, I couldn't afford actual New Orleans; it would have to be Mandeville/Covington/Madisonville or Lafayette/Acadiana.
