It could be IF:
1. Get rid of all thugs, and public housing.
2. Get rid of all corrupt cops.
3. Get rid of the disgusting politicians in the mayor's office and city council.
4. Get rid of Bourbon St. Filled with tourists who can't handle their alcohol and do nothing but shite, piss and throw up on the residential homes of the French Quarter.
5. Improve pot holes and S&WB.
6. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Cleveland IS getting better and Detroit making significant progress downtown.

Offer maybe 125% of the value and buy them out.....
If not, it's fun watching the slow death of that shithole, always run by a Democrat MORON, right into the ground
this debate has been going on for decades. so why put the projects in walking/biking distance from Quarter? walking distance from million dollar houses in uptown? Why not place ALL of them in N.O. east. The answer is they need to have job opportunities; cook, waiter, housekeeper, etc. And moving them would deny them the opportunity to work in the Quarter. I say move the government assisted projects out in isolated areas. Bus them in for free.

lingering butthurt over the city's removal of statues of traitors to America.
the real traitors are the corrupt leaders voted in time after time and the endless amount of residents that don't work and simply vote for a living.

I was in Detroit last week. Their downtown and mid town area up Woodward along that transit line was pretty nice. A lot of renovated buildings, new condos, LED street lights, new pavement, and new Whole Foods. Greek town and that area near their baseball stadium are both very nice too.
Still a lot of very tough areas in Detroit proper though. And it abruptly gets better again once you get to the suburban communities.

New Orleans has been in steady decline since 1960s. It has roughly the same population today as it did in 1920.
Guess what year this article was written
quote:
New Orleans: I Have Seen the Future, and It's Houston
quote:
For the past century or so, New Orleans has been a city that has gotten by on charm alone. Very few people here seriously consider New Orleans part of the "New South" or of the "Sunbelt" or of any other geoeconomic entity conjured up in the past two decades. And, until a few years ago, hardly anyone in New Orleans minded being left out. New Orleans might be poor, but it is happy. In fact, during last year's mayoral race, one of the candidates ran TV commercials that showed a bustling skyline with a voiceover ominously intoning, "Do you want New Orleans to become another Houston?"
quote:
Despite the fact that New Orleans has perhaps the finest natural location in the country for commerce, the city's economy has stagnated for at least twenty years. Population has declined; unemployment is among the highest in the South; and New Orleanians have remained among the poorest in the nation. Little has changed since the **** Census, which showed that out of the fifty largest cities in the country, New Orleans had the highest percentage of families living below the federal poverty level: 21.6 percent, against 18.4 percent for second-place Newark. New Orleans also ranked last among the fifty cities in percentage increase in median family income between **** and ****, and forty-third in median years of education per adult.
quote:
Compared to the charm of the city's neighborhoods, New Orleans suburbs tend to be pretty desolate places. The largest, Metairie, consists mainly of a sea of tract houses built in the sixties and of singles' apartments. Across the river, Gretna is much of the same. Metairie and Gretna are both parts of the great suburban parish of Jefferson, which will probably surpass Orleans Parish (New Orleans itself) in population in another fifteen years. Currently the population of Jefferson is around 420,000, of Orleans, 560,000.
quote:
It is almost impossible to talk about the economy of New Orleans without talking about the people who are supposed to "run" the city—its gentry, its social elite. New Orleans is perhaps the only large city left in America where birth counts for so much. And it is hard to say just why—unless the answer lies in Mardi Gras, which is a highly structured social ritual rather than a pubic spectacle like the Rose Bowl Parade.

Can you blame the tex payers of north Louisiana to not give a shite about this song and dance after decades of hearing the exact same thing?

If you have paid attention since Katrina, you would notice that is exactly what is happening. The projects that used to be behind the French Quarter have been torn down and replaced with "mixed" income housing and something of a zero tolerance policy to property destruction, abandoned cars , etc.
The scum are being pushed to the peripheries like NO East which has become a war zone but it's far enough away from the money so few care

The river does that quite well between BR and New Orleans will the dozens and dozens of chemical plants and refineries. New Orleans's future is convincing tech companies to set up shop there despite there being a major lack of infrastructure and competent local talent.

Downtown Gretna is pretty nice and the area by the river is really starting to become a little hipster
A lot of people want to buy into the narrative that the city is a broken down shite hole.....there is a lot going on in NOLA.....actually very surprised to see what is going on.

Here's the thing. I think at least on the East Bank the infrastructure is starting to improve greatly especially with the expanded street car lines that have been built... Also, you see a lot of new construction especially in what is being called the South Market District just south of the Superdome and the Medical Center area along Tulane Avenue.
The major crime problems tend to be mainly in NO East and Algiers....which a cop friend of mind has told me is by something of design.

Is there any hope for New Orleans east?
Should have never been developed, but there is at least a decent street grid there.

It's fun to dream about what will never happen...

Have you looked at a crime map lately? To say the major crime problems are mainly in NO East and Algiers is just plain dumb. If you live here and aren’t walking around with your head on a swivel in most neighborhoods after dark, you’re a mark.
