Again, how wide a radius are you setting up all these counter measures?

I could go kill 15 people right now easily all over this city if I were so inclined. Just because that is the "most densely packed" does not mean there aren't huge crowds elsewhere.
You could.
I'm not sure what that has to do with putting up basic safety measures for that particular stretch, or the packed tourist areas of the FQ in general.

Terrorism should be limited to a coordinated and planned violent event by multiple people.
But that isn’t what terrorism means. Why do you want to change the definition?

Oh it was clear that’s been the underpinning of a couple folks stance that if a solution doesn’t fix everything everywhere all the time it’s worthless

Yeah. And these days anyone with an internet connection can get radicalized by ISIS, PLO, The Taliban, or even radical domestic parties.
The shooter at the Nashville school kept to herself; and clearly grew more radical online. She/he wasn’t in some training camp or part of an organized attack. But the they sought out other crazies online who influenced each other. Likely the same case as the Trump shooter.
I wouldn’t be shocked if the terrorist in Louisiana had help with those bombs. Even if it were online.

Maybe you will answer where the common sense and logical demarcation point is for these measures.

Then every crime is now terrorism. The carjacker is a terrorist, the local convenience store robbery is now terrorism. The guy with road rage is now a terrorist.
All these are based on terrorizing another person to do what the terror wants them to do.

Terrorism requires political or ideological aims. Words have meanings, people.

Beginning at Canal, ending at St. Ann or Dumaine. Beginning at Bourbon, ending at either Chartres or Decatur.

Throughout the entire FQ
Not sure why you're against it

Has there been any update on increased security measures for the Sugar Bowl today? I’ve seen some articles, but details are sparse and the governmental platitudes we are being fed aren’t making me feel warm and fuzzy.
They’re bringing in a shitload of cops and K9s from BRPD, EBRSO, and JPSO.

How do you feel about the flood control measures built around the city after Katrina?
How about wind mitigation protections on homes?
We agree you cannot eliminate risk. We disagree on risk mitigation

One argument is that they’re there already but don’t work. Do you trust a corrupt city to spend money on shite they already had? FWIW I think they should be at the end of each street.

arse gonna be disappointed him and Lafitte's didn't make it into the protected zone.
More seriously, that still leaves huge crowds exposed on Decatur and Rampart alone. Not Bourbon St level crowds, but plenty big enough to match the death toll in this event.

It’s AIRBNB for cars. I used it once. Vehicle quality was not good. Easier to just use a rental car company. But I can see if you’re trying to stay on the DL how Turo would be a good option for you. Much less “bureaucracy.”

I don't find these remotely equivalent, as I'm sure you don't if you're being honest.
Flooding is a yearly event that effects the entire region, as is winds from hurricanes and other events. Terrorism is not.

In particularly crowded and/or symbolic locations just like we’ve seen all over the city for years - minus this stretch having them removed temporarily right now?
This isn’t some grand riddle and no answers is going to be 100% perfect.
