Dr. Pittman is not a little guy and is very wealthy.

Gosh. You are so right. And here I thought all that acreage was owned by some construction worker. Plus, when Dr. Pittman builds the site himself and operates all the businesses single handedly he will be the only one benefitting.

OR MAYBE

I was referring to the downstream economic benefits to all the construction workers, materials supply companies, people who will work at and maintain all the new businesses. Maybe I meant those little people. Do you really not realize that development spurs jobs and economic benefits beyond the initial property owners?

I was born and raised in Mandeville and both sides of my family have been there since the early 1900's. It was such a great place to grow up once upon a time.

Mandeville used to be an amazing place to live but that all changed when all the transplants moved in and decided that they wanted everything their way to make it more the cities that they had moved to get away from.


I hate when dumbasses like that move to a place like that and then want to change it to suit them. Mandeville really sucks now with all of the traffic and development there. Sad to see, really.

Good. Maybe my kids can build fires and under age drink in prestress like I did growing up.

I'm an old dude. Graduated from Mandeville in 85. Prestress was a concrete and rebar graveyard when we played in there. Looking back it wasn't the safest place to waste time especially during the night.

They put a gate up around 01 or 02, but never locked it. All you had to do was open it and drive through

And, we just threw $80k worth of sand in the lake.

All for alligators to sunbathe on...

Did you see that article today?

What'd they expect? Let's put a beach in where a pod of gators is known to frequently show...

Dumbfricks!

That's the first thing I thought of when they played the clip showing that spot.

Also, that looked like it could have been considered wetland. Anybody who wants this shut down could do some research and find out what kind of mitigation was done in order to be able to have this beach built.

You're not taking the number of soccer moms, milfs, and kids/retired people into account.

Well I just checked. Current unemployment rate in St. Tammany is at 7% whereas national rate is at 4.7%

Or maybe it's 4.3%? LINK

Regardless, even if you were right, the jobs issue alone doesn't justify the project.
