Covington is doing well right now. I hear they have a really cool mayor.
They do. He is a very good mix of tradition, energy, and innovation. He seems to be quite internet savvy as well.

Old Mandeville has always been great. Lewisburg has always been great. If you live near the Lakefront you are experiencing a nice atmosphere. Other than that you are in a subdivision that could be anywhere else
I’d take any of the subdivisions off West Causeway over Old Mandeville all day

lot of areas in Northwest Houston are starting to go down.
It’s happening in DFW now too.
I remember when Duncanville was reaping the rewards of white flight. 30 years later, the population has stagnated, and it’s a very diverse community. Roughly 30% white, 30% Hispanic, 30% black.
That’s mirrored the entire ‘Best Southwest’ area of Duncanville, Desoto, Cedar Hill, and Lancaster.

People said the same thing with Hattiesburg’s decline. How many people moved to Hattiesburg from NOLA from Katrina? Like 50, maybe?
There were certainly areas that took in a lot of people but Baton Rouge and Houston took most of the Katrina brunt. And I won't blame any of BR's problems on Katrina. They existed beforehand for the most part.

How many people fled to Jackson? 200?
I'd guess several thousand. The MS Coliseum was full as was every shelter in the area, churches took in folks and many private homes took in friends and family. Social service services in JXN were overwhelmed. The FEMA station at Smith Wills on Lakeland had (mostly) late-model cars and SUVs with LA tags lined up every morning for a couple of months.
I can't speak for Hattiesburg but can assure you Jackson and McComb are much the worse for wear due to "refugees," many who didn't have houses to go back to.
Jackson was already on the way down, but the NOLA folks certainly sped up the ruination.

I’m in unincorporated St. Tammany right next to the Mandeville city limits. Also, the black guys he’s complaining about who are “begging” are from a church outside of St. Tammy.

Those places have been absolute Mogadishu type shite holes for decades, don't go pawning igoff on Katrina folks.
Jackson wishes it had 1/10th the charm of New Orleans and it's peoples unique culture

Jackson was a shite hole 50 years before Katrina

If I were going to live in Louisiana, I wouldn't live in an edge suburb. I'd either live in Orleans, Jefferson, or out in the middle of nowhere. Edge suburbs in LA somehow manage to feel both hick and ghetto.

Jackson, MS had already been on the downslide for a decade-plus, but Katrina pushed that downward spin into hyperdrive. Thanks NOLA.
Jackson didn't need any help from Katrina for that to occur.Posted on 12/15/19 at 7:12 pm to Tiger in Texas

It's not just there- a lot of areas in Northwest Houston are starting to go down. The urban move to the Suburbs is destroying lots of former nice neighborhoods... As I always say when a neighborhood becomes urbanized- "Crime goes up and property values go down".
It’s like some sort of natural law that nice neighborhoods must always eventually turn to shite. It starts with businesses whining about lack of workers and liberals whining about “affordable housing” and then Section 8 comes into play and before you know it apartment complexes spring up. The apartments are of course nice initially and in any case you’re a racist, and then shockingly property crime goes up and the place starts looking unkempt and there goes the neighborhood.
I got so pissed at some moron liberal bitch complaining about “there’s not enough affordable housing in Katy and I told her there’s nothing stopping her from living in an area full of fabulous Section 8 housing but I live way the frick out in the suburbs, at great inconvenience to my family, specifically to escape the issues that ALWAYS follow affordable housing. Of course she was shocked and I’m racist, nevermind that my neighborhood is very diverse but it’s just not full of trashy poors.
Anyway, yes Mandeville is simply Metairie North now. Slidell is Kenner. It’s all the same shite.

Yes, all you idiots, Mandeville sucks. Please don’t move here.

Orleans has a litany of problems. My sister is under another boil water advisory and there was just a fricking literal explosion at a pumping station yesterday...Jefferson is tolerable I guess but nothing wonderful. Old Metairie is nice but crowded and expensive and much of it floods.
I could be happy in the middle of nowhere in any state.

This.
If you're not going to live in the middle of the city with all the action, access and convenience, you might as well move out in the middle of nowhere and enjoy the privacy, quiet solitude, freedom and lack of government intrusion and nimbys.
Why half arse it by moving to the soulless suburbs where you get all of the bullshite but none of the benefits.

The idea of a “soulless” suburb is meaningless romantic nonsense. Suburbs are vastly more convenient and cheaper than a city, especially if you’re raising a family. For a young single person then of course experience the city. Just don’t try to convince a suburbanite with kids to give up his big new home in a safe clean neighborhood in a great school district just to live in walking distance of a bar.

You're not wrong, I just wanted to vent. I despise the suburbs.
And for the record I don't consider St Tammany Parish, the suburbs. At least not a suburb of New Orleans. Jefferson Parish is a suburb of New Orleans. St Tammany is just a bunch of little small historic towns that had newer developments grow up between them.

I agree with yall.
I live out of state , but when i lived in NOLA, i lived Uptown and then Lakeview... if i were to ever move back (doubtful), and wasnt interested in city life anymore- there is a great area about an hour north of downtown NOLA called Bush, LA as well as a couple other communities nearby (Sun, La?).. Many here know of those towns, but many do not.. i grew up in greater NOLA and Northshore, and didnt even know Bush and Sun existed til i dated a girl from there in college.. there are rolling hills, horse farms and the like, and you feel like you’re a world away from the commotion, but you’re only 20 minutes from hospitals and shopping in St Tammany... Frick the burbs.

Like anything else, the suburbs serve a purpose for some people. If i was single I’d live in the city where all the single pussy is. The problem with living in middle of nowhere is no jobs in nowhere.
