O and the SG supporters are starting to act like those kids that go around the beaches during spring break wanting to talk to you about Jesus and the how you can be saved.

bullshite. The city is nothing but low density and a shitload of prime real estate remains untapped and unpopulated in and around downtown as we speak. And it's not dangerous.
You are right. There are no crime problems in Baton Rouge, and the school system is fantastic. The flight that you so frequently refer to is simply a reflection of irrational behavior.

YOU do it by showing interest in it and fixing it back up, this reclaiming it from the abyss it's become because people lost interest in it. That it just happens to be an area of a city that should be the most valuable real estate in the city, or it is in most every other city on this planet. It can be here as well. We just have to get our heads out our own asses
You can't do it. It's proven. That's the great thing about freedom and capitalism. If there was a likelihood of a positive outcome, many would invest. We know that's not happening. And, it's because people like you aren't fixing the issues that are preventing it.
On the other hand, you are seeing a real grass roots movement in St. George. People are doing exactly what you wished was being done in Baton Rouge. You are just on the wrong side of the fence.

Hey, you know what? That's enough. I've more than explained myself and my words so that any rational adult that has a mature brain could clearly understand. You apparently think you have some trump card here that makes up for your lack of firepower in your arguments, and it does not. you're becoming that little gnat now.

I said it's racially motivated, and to a very large degree I think it is. I don't think they necessarily hate blacks, but I do think they want to hold on to a white area of town. You don't think that's at play here?

what's hilarious about that, is that in most places in this country it's the younger generations pushing to move back to the urban areas of their cities, but not here, apparently it's old farts like me that get the reasoning behind that, and younger people like you who are going in the opposite direction of the rest of the country. I'm fricked up?
Young people typically are attracted to the city. When they have families, they look for space, green areas, and safety. I've never understood the hate for this natural progression.

I don't hate it. I just don't really see much of it here. Do you? Some, yes, but in numbers? I think the numbers lean very heavily toward going to the burbs by the young here once they graduate college.

It's about good schools primarily, and secondarily crime.
People already live in St. George. You are conflating suburban sprawl with the St. George incorporation effort. St. George already exists to the tune of 100K+ people.

So, what insulates you from this crime in St. George?

St. George IS suburban sprawl. What are you talking about? It's suburban neighborhood after suburban neighborhood trying to operate like a city, and it can't because it wasn't designed to be a city, but a grouping of suburban neighborhoods, which is how it came into existence.

The great thing about freedom is you don't have to hate either.
The problem here is that the St. George area is holding up its end of the bargain for those who are looking for suburban living, but Baton Rouge is devolving into an unattractive option for the people who would naturally choose a more urban environment.

It's a reflection of Baton Rouge, dude.
It's not because people here are just different than everyone else in the world.

Probably a quality of life and socioeconomic issue. People make race the easy scapegoat.
Everyone wants safety, security and quality of life. Living in the urban core makes more sense in Manhattan than it does Baton Rouge.

That is meaningless. It already exists. If those people want to incorporate into a single city, they should be able to do so.

Not in this region, no, but in the world, yes, they are. In comparison to the country, yes, the region is very different in that dynamic. It's stuck in the past as it is on most everything. Surely this isn't news that change is really really slow in Making its way here in pretty much everything known to man.

So, for shits and giggles, where exactly would you say this city's downtown is?

People who want an urban lifestyle are leaving Baton Rouge because it doesn't offer what they want. They are going to bigger/better cities.
It's not because people are backwards here. Very, very ignorant.

Something must be done about these Obama busses destroying our communities.
