SFP, depends on what you consider close. anything in the actual downtown area that is relatively safe and nice is going to run you about 1200-1400 for a 1 bdrm. move out to LSU and the average is right around 800 a bdrm unless you either live in el cid typ places or live in one of the older student-centric places that have 5 bedrooms. Then you can probably get it down to around 500/bdr,

I rode through LSU for the first time in about 3.5 years about a month ago and I could believe how many different apartments had gone up. I was mad they waited until I left to put that sonic up too

I was pissed when the Student Union was completely done the semester after I graduated.

rarely makes sense to rent in BR

Just a handful of old money families own ALL of the land out there. So here is what happens: some or all of the eight siblings who have an ownership interest in grandpappy's old plantation land need some money, so they all get together with their lawyers and work out some scheme with cousin Dale the land developer to develop the property. Since this ole slave money family also runs the city and state politics, nobody gives serious thought to whether or not a thousand fricking apartment units need to be built here or if it will completely and irreparably frick an entire huge section of the city. No, it gets the go ahead. Then, the siblings cash out, and the city goes further down the shite hole until the next generation of ole fancy old south slave money needs to cash in on some land again and the cycle repeats itself.

Actually, most of them were carpetbaggers who took that land for pennies on the dollar from the old slaveholding families who managed not to all die in the Civil War, but close enough.

Not a new neighborhood, it is suppose to be a nursing home!

That's interesting. I should have known the damn theiving Yankees were behind it like everything else.

Developers build shite apartment complexes and they are all the rage until they fall apart 3 years later and turn to shite. Then, everyone moves on to the next big thing

Tiger Land is turning into a section 8 ghetto
It really is disgusting the kind of human refuse you see loitering/wandering around- usually in the middle of the street- at all hours of the day and night over there, knowing what it once was and what it could be if not for Section 8.

I just don't understand the appeal.

I think some commercial appraiser has been getting kickbacks with their feasibility studies. It's laughable that so many are being built on top of a saturated market.

I would rather live in the LC
Think about that
Get fricked Cosmo. LC is the absolute worst part of South Louisiana and I haven't forgotten about Slidell.

I disagree. Donaldsonville wins that honor.

Did you just compare BR COL with Austin COL? Have you ever been to Austin? Their real estate prices are multiples of BR's.

That whole stretch of Burbank by Lee is going to turn into one big ghetto trash pit in about a decade after they realize they can't fill those apartments with students and let anyone move in. Enjoy what they're doing to revive the northgate because south of campus is going to get bad.

traffic
distance to get places (with more traffic)
It might be worse than normal days in the early 2000s but if you could make through BR traffic in the fall of '05 I'm sure it's easily doable now.
