Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Are minority SJWs outraged?

I keep hearing this but New Orleans was over priced well before Airbnb. It’s always been expensive to rent or buy in decent neighborhood because it’s so limited on space.
Yes and No. Yes, New Orleans was somewhat pricey, in part because its hard to tear down older structures, especially in historic districts, and renovation can be more expensive than starting new.
At the same time before Katrina you could find quality housing in decent neighborhoods relatively cheap. However, because the city changes block by block in places you really had to know the city and neighborhoods well to find good value.
Post-Katrina, yes, prices blew up and have mostly continued to go up.

The 'taking away the culture' is a truth as well. The question is how to balance reviving neighborhoods and bringing new investment while keeping what makes the neighborhood.
Did one of the big social aid and pleasure clubs second line parade a while back, they followed a pretty common/historic route. Ten years ago pretty much all of the residents on the route were black. Now in some stretches there were more white than black people on porches, pretty astonishing to see.

Makes you wonder if Katrina has not happened what would the prices be in today’s market?

I could not decipher a definitive answer as the responses were over text. But I did get a history on 2 letter phone number prefixes and learned that Whitehall was a section in NO.
Anyway, I think Katrina had a lot to do with gentrification. People got real nostalgic after the storm. How many people you know had fleur de lis tattoos or gave a second look to a water meter cover let alone steal them or put a replica in their house? It’s no surprise that people who needed a new house wanted the quintessential New Orleans architecture.

I fricking hate that term.
So, because people cleaned up old, crappy areas and made the nicer, it’s a bad thing?
At some point, you can’t let housing fall apart just to support a $400/month rent group of people

Used to have a really good PoBoy place in Bywater....Frady's. Jack Dempseys still down there and Markey's.....but other than that a bunch of out of town hipsters invaded the place.
Hopefully Nola keeps a good balance. It’s good some areas are nicer but too much hipster shite will ruin the unique vibrant food and music culture that native Nola residents created and cherished
