I don't know for certain, but there's a moratorium in AP, and Central has pretty strict requirements for developments, which is why you don't see DR Horton anywhere around.

No doubt Houston have some really good planners.


They better find a way to fix I-45 in downtown and quit getting bogged down about the highway expansion being racist.


The traffic infrastructure here is impressive. It can be intimidating, but it's impressive in scale and efficiency. Somewhere in Houston knew what they were doing and no one in Louisiana government has a clue.

It’s not EBR. Mayor and police chief who actually give a shite, decent schools, and an electorate that doesn’t vote solely on skin color. For starters.

They keep moving the urbanization line northward, now a 500 house development is fixing to border our property to the south. No subdivisions were supposed to be built north of a line from Gottschalck Road to Lake Ramsay, but that's fixing to change.

But who is moving there? All white flight out of BR? The BR transplants can only afford those crap homes?


The real question is what percentage is “build to rent?”

It's maddening

The "leaders" don't give 2 shits either. Denham Springs has gone "down hill" with swiftness.

And Denham Springs, Walker & Watson should be doing this.

It's a mistake only if you don't realize you're doing it.

The over development is what caused the flooding in 2016. But idiots want to blame a median barrier.

Denham and the area serviced by their wastewater management system does have a temporary moratorium. Mayor Landry issued it within the last few weeks.

But in other news Layton Ricks vetoed the density changes proposed by the council for LP yesterday so everything is back to full speed forward for all other developments.

What one person does with their property is not the same as an out of town developer building a thousand homes next to your house, in the process raising the elevation of several hundred acres a few feet and covering it in cement

where's the water gonna go genius? It's not soaking into the driveways and new home foundations or in the flat yards with no trees sloped for drainage.

The water is going to travel with gravity until it can settle for several hours - in your yard/home

Well, to be fair, 30+ inches of rain in 36 hours will wreck shite.

And that median wall absolutely caused places East of DS to flood.

Yet there is all that empty land off 1088.....The far west of St.Tammany is getting dangerously overbuilt in respect to the infrastructure available. No doubt when the rainy season hits, people will bitch about flooding in an area full of rivers and creeks, etc that are there for natural drainage but gets overwhelmed because the water will get held up in draining.
