quote:The mayor of EBR has zero authority over the school board or school system. The school system is completely autonomous, including funding, from the parish's government. It would take a statewide constitutional amendment to change it.
Change the education system and make more magnet schools and a school like Lusher.

Everything East of Bluebonnet, everything north of Florida, and everything between Aster and Government between highland and Nicholson.
The ghettos in the city and resulting urban drawl to the east are an absolute eyesore.

A decent mayor can't do shite with this joke of a city council.

BR is segregated. Private school people barely know any Public school kids, and vice versa. Maybe more interracial dating would ease tension. Look at Austin. NYC.

Follow Houston's lead and repeal zoning laws.

I'd say Kip Holden is the best mayor BR has ever had. He has done a pretty good job trying to revitalize the city. As much as you can I guess. I think something like Super Country Fest has been a relatively big deal for the city. People left BR for Memorial Day weekend with nothing to bring in people so it was a slow weekend for businesses, etc.. So that, live after 5, etc. That all livens up the city a little more, but again, you have to get to the root of the problems and thats not something you can just jump on.

Kip holden is good.
How about this? A tops like program for trade schools.

A new Fun Fair Park in every area of the city should do it.

Bomb NBR and repopulate it with Mexicans to become like Austin.
Or
Bomb NBR and repopulate it with gays and Asians to become like SF.

Step1: Build Inner Loop complete with a widened Huey P. Long bridge and new south bridge.
Step2: Turn Airline into an express tollroad
Step3: Build a west bank expressway on the Port Allen side
Step4: Build any outer bypass that starts on the west side of Lafayette, utilizes the 190 corridor then heads north to utilize the Audubon bridge, and connects with I-10 at the La and Ms state lines.
Step5: Legalize drugs and prostitution
Step6: Charge politicians double for their drugs and hookers.
Step7: profit
