This is how you ruin a community:
Have or enforce very little in the way of building permits.
+Have very few stipulations on subdivisions/apartments.
+Be next to a big city everyone is evacuating.
+Dont pay teachers as much as surrounding parishes.
=
overcrowding, flooding, worsen school system
All of this lowers property values and speeds up the process

4H club has no direct interstate access and from what I've read, absolutely no plans to upgrade it to 4 lanes. Those
All correct. Need the following to support this expansion.
Juban 4 lanes from 16 to Florida.
Exit at Pete’s highway. 4 lane Pete’s highway from 16 to Florida.
Direct access feeder road from Walker to O’Neal.
Florida 4 laned all the way to Walker.
16 4 laned past Juban.
Increase the interchange between 12 and Range by 50%.
All that to say, bend over. Traffic is about to get worse.

I live off of Juban in a one street neighborhood. 2 new homes built last fall and they probably brought in 50 truck loads of dirt to build up the house pads. So far I see 5 kids added to the schools.
You probably aren't off. Juban Crossing has be a real success because people like the easy I-12 access and safe shopping. All that is going to change as more BR people move out here.

+ New bridges over the Amite at Hooper Rd and N Harrels Ferry.

If there were more ways to get into the Parish from EBR, it would boom. It sucks that you have three entry points from EBR - 12, Florida, Magnolia Beach.
If there were multiple points of entry, you wouldn't have those three back up constantly.

Don’t forget having HUD as a safety net.

It's all fun and games unless you've got some major cash tied up in building a multi million dollar apartment complex and on the 50 acres next door, your neighbor starts a pig farm. Then the irony begins.

They're about to suffer the same flooding and traffic difficulties like Ascension.

And what is everyone going to do for a living to service the massive steaming poo pile of debt to purchase said shanties?
Yay real-estate backed bank fraud! I probably wouldn’t want to be the landscaper in the food chain of the development.

If it is anything like most other developments around here, they will abuse the frick out of HUD’s “rural development” loans to move everyone in at $0 down and no closing costs out of pocket then let the government get left holding the bag on defaults.

This is bullshite. Hoping for a sinkhole to open and swallow that entire development now.

While this is certainly needed, good luck getting it funded in an area with laughably low property taxes and property tax exemptions.
People look at the nice new infrastructure in the white flight suburbs of Houston/Dallas with 2-3 lanes of feeder roads and miles of wide boulevards and think they can get that in Louisiana. The same people say Not Me when they realize those suburbs were built on the backs of homeowners paying an annual 4-5% affective property tax rate.

Most of the apartment complexes I see aren’t even fully rented out. What are they doing? Who do they think is going to buy/rent all of these places?

They don’t need a moratorium
They need to work with the developers, build the infrastructure with bonds backed by future property taxes.
That’s how it’s supposed to work

I'm glad you asked. Section 8 housing is paid by the government and invites a whole other class of folks to move to the LP. Its what happens to apartments that dont fill up or when they get run down. which is why nobody wants apartments in their town.

if they had jobs like that they'd gladly pay it
