Interesting data RE: LA migration

You mean to tell me that people are breaking down the door to come move to Youngsville?

inbreeding ?

When I moved to Dallas for work after college, I often asked "is ANYONE from here?"
I moved back to Baton Rouge 2 yrs later.

But this graphic definitely proves that nobody moves to Louisiana. Ah well. More swamp, cancer, and murder for us!

There's a ton of "good ole boy" shite in Louisiana.

It's hard to break into careers etc without knowing ppl and shite.

That's a huge part of why Louisiana is so overwhelmingly populated with native born.

Another way to look at this is that Louisiana has a massive segment of uneducated and largely government-dependent residents who cannot and likely do not want to leave.

Anyone with an education and the means to do so leaves Louisiana as soon as possible.

I had a young man from south Louisiana apply for work with me in North Texas recently. His qualifications were reasonable. I told him I had worked in Texas with a number of young men from south Louisiana and inevitably their love for south Louisiana had taken them home. He told me he hated it, so I hired him. Time will tell, but it would not surprise me for this guy to head on home at some point.

I am from Lubbock, Texas, and Mac Davis said it about as good as can be said. Despite its faults, I'll probably die there.

It USED to be a great place to live but unfortunately that has deteriorated since the early 90's. "Born & Raised" in La also means it's hard to just leave and walk away from family.

Nobody is moving to LA.
