People don't visit NOLA because it's an awesome place to live.

I love it too, but that "soul" is slowly dissipating IMO as more and more out of towners move here, while more and more locals move away.
I'm hearing the same sentiment as the OP from several people. My sister is one and that's alarming to me, as she was always the quintessential ra ra Nola lady. She's moving soon.

I was shocked at what a dump Memphis is; even compared to Camden, NJ.

This is literally the only reason anyone has ever given me as to why they visit New Orleans (myself included).

Yes but it was centralized and generally limited to those who engaged in certain behaviors. I do not remember this much crime in the Quarter during the early 1990s. Obviously there was some, nut seemed to be a bit of a no-go zone. I spent many weekends down there and was fairly cognizant of what was reported.

2 years ago I would've agreed with you. Now that I'm house hunting, Jefferson parish is becoming much more appealing.

Well a lot come for conferences and sporting events....but the reason those conferences and sporting events choose NOLA is so the people that go to them can get shite faced drunk and act like asses. I mean face it NOLA isn't some mecca of music, art, sport (maybe fishing in the area), architecture, nature, etc....it is a mecca of debauchery and vices.

Thats great and thats your prerogative
Meanwhile 12 million visitors will continue to come and spend 6 billion dollars a year in the city

I do believe my post was comparing Quarter crime between the early 90s to now. A decrease from last year doesn't say much until it holds and becomes a pattern.

So you're souring on NOLA because you went to a shitty movie theater in ELmwood and then went to a shitty chain amusement place?

Not totally surprised. I don't think I ever saw much of a crowd there...

NOLA punches well above its weight in all of those categories
For example: how many markets the size of New Orleans has 2 major pro sports teams?
