If you mean because it was built on "reclaimed" land that is still sinking, you're probably right. But the East used to be a decent place to live. I grew up there in the 60s and 70s. It was mostly middle class folks, a lot of them worked at NASA at Michoud. The Plaza was a decent mall with movie theatre, ice skating rink, etc. The change started when low rent apartments were built on Lake Forest Blvd. It didn't take long to start hearing gunfire at night on a regular basis.

Did these “writers” even take English class growing up?

There was a time in the 1990’s where the locals would push shopping carts across I-10 in those turns shortly after the high rise. Good times.

No one studies journalism any more. And studying correct English is racist. Most of these "writers" probably majored in gender studies and the like.

Totally agree. Or we can get the natives to stop acting like fricking animals

When the shutdowns first happened in late March, my job sent me out to New Orleans East for deliveries. The whole East was a shithole. I didn’t feel comfortable at all out there. Luckily, I was only in that area for a month before my job told me to go to a different location. Out of all the times I’ve gone to New Orleans, that was my first time going to New Orleans East. Did it always look like that or does it look more like shite because of Katrina?

My wife and two young girls regularly have to drive to Gulfport from New Orleans to visit in-laws. It’s a pain in the neck but probably going to start going causeway and take I-12 to avoid the whole Gentilly Terrace/Woods, Desire and the East

I-12 between Mandeville and Madisonville exit had how many this year?

Katrina did make it look at lot worse. It has been a terrible part of the world since around 1995.
Several factors converged around that time: the oil bust, the general spike in crime in the early 1990s, the handover of New Orleans' political power to the, uh, less than competent... white flight.
What I cannot quite explain is how the area has gotten still worse in the last 5 years or so. Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems like a pretty dramatic trend. Maybe it was better as a post-Katrina near wasteland, and then the people came back?

From March-May, I had to deliver all over the New Orleans area and New Orleans East was by far the unsafest I felt.

The East wasn’t bad in the late 70s / early 80s. But when it went downhill, it went down faster than a Thai hooker.

Yup. I'm not sure there's ever been a rapid, permanent evacuation like that outside of a war zone. People scoff at the notion of white genocide, but New Orleans was definitely subjected to ethnic cleansing. To paint it as voluntary (or evil "white flight") is missing the point.

But just remember... the biggest threat to innocent black lives and lives in general in the USA is "white supremacists" and "racist" white cops.

In all honesty I feel like it's not expressed enough to tourists just how unsafe New Orleans East is. The city should be advising all travel companies, travel agents and travel sites to advise tourists to go around New Orleans East.
I was back in NOLA in late June 2020 (came for a few days before all the bars and restaurants got shut down again). Usually I fly but I decided to drive due to Covid-19 and the lack of direct flights. I took I-12 to the Causeway and that should be the preferred way to go to NO from the Northshore/Mississippi.
I remember when my dad worked at Stennis back in the late 80s/early 90s. We lived in Eden Isle since he wanted to be close to work (my mom looked at places in Metairie and Mandeville but he wasn't going to do that commute). I remember my mom taking me into NOLA regularly and it's so sad to see what's happened to the city in the last 15 years.
The bad part is now that trash from the East has pretty much infected Slidell as well. Slidell was never great but when I was there in June the area flat out felt unsafe. They need to bulldoze the Twin Span bridges and the high rise. Let the natives fend for themselves and destroy each other. In the very least the Twin Span bridges to prevent the trash from the East from screwing up the entire northshore.
I know I wll never take I-10 through the East again. I'll pay the extra money and take the extra time to take the Causeway.

The Vietnamese people over there are good, hard working people. Get rid of the fricking animals and let them have it.
