Maybe some of you baws should move out of your Ascension Parish tract houses and into EBR instead. That way you could vote there and try to change it. The reason Broome got elected is because baws like you all fled. Once you flee, you have no right to complain.

Why has this never been suggested here before?

Smarter to move out of Louisiana entirely than into Baton Rouge.

You are suggesting gentrification is the answer?

That's exactly what it would be labeled.

They'll likely just keep moving farther away. Sooner or later you'll have all of BR to yourself.

You must be new here.

Confirmed.

I disagree. It would be great to be able to move back to my hometown and be near family and friends. But because BR is so terrible, that’s not a viable option. I believe that gives me a valid right to complain about BR’s shitholeness.

BR is just a redneck cowtown with a hood.

It is void of actual culture, it just appropriates culture from the Bayou and New Orleans.

Non Catholics trying to celebrate Mardi Gras is super goofy.

So if someone moved their family to AP because the schools and cost of living are better they arent allowed to complain about BR, even if they work and spend time there?

This is stupid. They can't lambaste the reasons they felt compelled to move their families to a safer area? They can't complain about the drain that is BR on the taxpayers of the state? They can't complain about an area that they probably still venture into regularly?

I couldn’t choose where I was born, but I can choose to live in Texas.

White flight is not a product of racism as much as it is economics. Schools in EBR are absolutely terrible unless you win the “lottery” and get your kid into the magnet program at BR High. Otherwise, you’re stuck putting them in terrible public schools, terrible charter schools, or paying out the nose for private schools.

After weighing the economic factors of housing prices, commuting costs, and schooling costs, commuting from the suburbs to send kids to better public schools is the most affordable option.

And look how well that did with St. George. How many years now, did we vote and win the vote to form our own city? And what has happened?

Culture will get your car stolen, loved ones raped, and family murdered.

Because it’s a stupid idea. Why would I subject my kids to that shithole?

Born there.
Went to LSU.
Lived, worked, raised children, and voted there for over 40 years.
Every part of my life is better since I got fed up and left.

Leaving to provide your family a better chance isn't fleeing...it's smart.

Pointing out Baton Rouge is descending into a third world shithole isn't complaining...it's obvious.

And I still live here. Emergency vehicles and police sirens passing by most of last night. I was wondering how many were shot/killed.

At least 2 killed it seems.
