My renters sure are paying mine! At some level, arguing the semantics of whether those costs are passed on seems a bit pointless though ?????

Not directly. They may pay for contents, but that is only in response to the flood insurance comment, which I'm not sure really matters.

Opposing Jesuit High School?
They need to accuse the hipsters of homophobia.

This is less about the walkway itself, and more about the process. The neighbors haven't filed suit yet (I see that coming), they are using their legal right to challenge an interpretation of a City regulation by a single city public official. Their appeal is actually a "check and balance" on the powers of the state, which is good.
There is also another issue, a public entity can't give away a good/property without due process and fair compensation. In this case the public good is the ability to build on/over the city ROW. While that is nuanced again this is a good thing. While I'm neutral on the bridge, the City and Jesuit should make sure they follow rules, most of which are in place for a reason
Pretty much all of this. While this project likely makes sense (I don’t know the specifics of the canopy and such) if taken to the extreme I’d imagine most here agree you shouldn’t be able to just build bridges anywhere you and a neighbor decide to build one. There should be some sort of check in place.

If they rent and it isn't section 8 they sure do. I hate hipsters and feel these folks are misguided fools. But, your statement is likely false.
Why? Are the renters legally on the hook for the annual property taxes each year in Orleans Parrish? If taxes go up during year (which in my area at least can happen with property assessments in late spring and then again with rate increases up through fall of the tax year) are they legally required to pay the increased taxes for prior months before final tax assessed each year?
In a well functioning market (and the vast majority of large American metro area real estate markets are), things like property taxes and insurance are economically embedded in rent. Renters are indirectly paying it.

There’s no way you can raise your rent as fast as taxes and insurance rates are moving.
I had rental property for 5 years in NOLA and finally sold them all about 3 years ago because rents were staying the same but taxes, insurance and maintenance kept going up. My margins just didn’t make sense so I cashed out and glad I did. I did very well and I’m much happier and stress free.

It is painfully ironic to consider how this private school project flies along with such speed, while public school children in our community continue to be neglected
In no way shape or form is that ironic

No, it’s painfully ironic. So much pain.

I got a random letter a while back asking to stop this. Now I see they have started the construction on banks. Was blocked off for a bit earlier.

They have been doing this all over since the start of the month.

I don’t think you understand the process of approval here. It’s not like anyone can just fill out a form and get a bridge under the variance interpretation. Jesuit still need to get air rights approved by the City Council. They already submitted the proposal for the work along with follow-up reports to the City Planning Commission and the Department of Safety and Permits, getting the go ahead from both.

Does anyone remember when Blue Bayou did thier walkway over Highland?
I remember when they did it, closed Highland Road and Fox McKeithen who was then Secretary of State drove around the State Troopers and under the bridge while it was suspended by cranes at 2:00am and got a DWI.

I'm personally a huge fan of pedestrian bridges. I wish they were more common place.
