Cool.


Still fact remains that for 20 years the state couldn’t get anyone to buy it despite trying. And it is clearly bringing in more money and jobs than the farm was.

Indeed. Time will tell how it will pay off for the citizens of the area. At the present it's just filled the area with strangers, made menial travel a logistical nightmare, sent rent/lodging thru the roof, and crumbled the already shitty existing infrastructure. Yay

I mean seriously?


Louisiana has the highest poverty rate in the country.

Richland has 11th/64 highest poverty rate by parish in the state.



Yet we have complaining because property is becoming more valuable and there is too much influx and traffic




This is why Louisiana is always last.


You would be laughed out of the room in Texas.

Your assumptions are hilarious. You have zero fricking clue about how this Meta thing is going to shake out, You have zero clue about the area you are pretending to know about. You're oblivious to what's happening to area and the people who have always resided there. You don't know a cotton plant from a corn stalk or Bee Bayou from Dunn. Meta may be great. It will make me a substantial amount of money. But that's not the case for a lot of people. It's just going to make their life hell. And frick Texas, you would be laughed out of the room by me.

You don’t know me and you don’t know where Im from.


You make plenty of assumptions about what and where I am and who and who I don’t know.

I know what a growing area looks like and I know what a dying area looks like.



Richland was dying. And that “close knit community” was getting smaller and smaller. I know that personally as well as just being able to look at population tables.
