Man, I would like to own a place in Orleans but these prices don’t make it seem like a possible reality.

Some say the heart of gentrification's still beating
And from what I see, I believe 'em
Now the old man may be barely breathing'
But the heart of gentrification
heart of gentrification is still beating

Gentrification isn’t sustainable if your public schools are still arse. It’s fine when you are a young professional or newly wed but once your kids are beyond day care it becomes too expensive to live in city.
This is absolutely true. My wife had 2 kids from a former marriage and both her kids went to parochial schools. The son went to Jesuit and the daughter was still in grade school and went to St. Anthony of Padua and on to Mt. Carmel for high school. Their education costs could have bought both the wife and I brand new Cadillacs.
Public schools in my area are total shite. More like day care for juvenile delinquents.

I used to teach at Myrtle Banks elementary on OC Haley before katrina for years. Then the school was abandoned, caught fire, was sold and is now some big marketplace.
I have been curious how that worked out. This is an area where we found weed bags, needles and alcohol bottles every morning in the kids play-yard. It was really appalling that people live this way and raised kids there. It was close the the old BW Cooper housing projects.

This covers a easy 90% of the state.

Downman Rd
There's your problem right there. Downman is not a place for gentrification......anything east of the Industrial Canal is where the hood is going to be.
What gets me though is that there are a fair amount of hipsters who have bought north of St. Claude between that and North Claiborne. I'm not a fan of having an AR 15 for personal protection, but if I were to move in that area, I would buy one.

I heard the Upper 9th referred to as "Bywater North" by a transplant. Had to laugh at that one

So you don't think the leadership NO has had over the past few decades carries the burden of disfunctionality?

Yeah, I had to bust a gut on that one as well. My friend who is a black New Orleans cop usually can'r stop laughing when he hears about white hipsters getting held up or victims of burglary.
His quote, " You make all of this money and you wanna be a urban pioneer?????? GTFO!!!!!!" then he starts uncontrolled laughing. True story.

Marigny Annex is a good one I heard at Mi mi's.
Add to that the Lower 9th Ward being described as "Holy Cross" and it's laughable. I grew up in that area and moved away in 78 as a young man starting my family and it was a shithole then.
I follow the real estate market and when I see houses in that area selling for $175K and up, I just laugh. Just a few weeks ago I saw a sale of a house at 5300-02 Dauphine St. that went for $119K. I passed by that house on my way back from fishing the river in Arabi and it is a double shotgun on a corner lot. It was totally gutted, needed tons of exterior work, new roof, windows, paint job ------------in other words, totally rebuilt. They will have close to $275K in that place when it is done if they do even a half decent job on it.
The bad thing is, there's tons of houses all over that area still abandoned and not worked on since Katrina.
