Business means growth. I don't want business in Nola to be stagnant, but I also don't want it to grow exponentially. Orleans parish is around 350k. I don't want the city to become massive like Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, or Houston. New Orleans is the way that it is because of its size. The city is made up of people who mostly live here who continue to live here. It isn't a corporate city that attracts professionals from all over the country and world like Houston. The same families continue to live here generation after generation. People don't leave and not many new people come in. As a result, the culture and traditions are maintained. I'm not saying Houston doesn't have culture, but there definitely is not an "in your face, this is who we are" culture like new Orleans has.

New Orleans was an economic powerhouse before the oil bust and cultural leadership. This notion that the economy has always been dependent on tourism is false.

Have you not noticed that the New Orleans posters couldnt give 2 shits about bashing other cities we dont live in?
Every city that is discussed on TD gets shite on. NOLA isn't special.

Right, because the city had zero culture in 1960 when the population was 625k+.

Exactly...staying the same size is stagnation nowadays. Bland suburbs like Plano, Arlington, Riverside, etc are going to surpass New Orleans in terms of business growth.
The current market size for New Orleans could stay the same, but they will continue to decrease in rank. See cities like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, etc.

don't worry about that
you can't even keep up with Austin or San Antonio and let both surpass you both culturally and economically
Nola has nowhere to go but down

In 1960 it was about 650k in the city proper. That was probably the last time a majority of the population gave a shite and probably the heyday of New Orleans as a city - unless you want to go back to right around the Civil War or so, when it was, I believe, the second largest city in the country. It's been pretty much downhill since then. There are many reasons, of course.
Oh, well.

Not only was the population larger but the city had a massive white collar presence in oil and gas, banking, etc. Today there are less than a dozen publicly traded companies in NOLA, roughly around Lafayette and BR numbers.

Thanks for the sig quote baw!
But really, it takes a special kind of stupid to put you and I on the same side of a NOLA debate thread. I don't know if that's ever happened before.
