I don't blame you for wanting your trash to "float" away but if you want to get rid of your culture you'll have to kill it yourselves. Traffic's bad enough already.

I’m old enough to remember when people getting run over by floats was her top priority.

Let’s be fair, NOLA’s been in the hole for so long the city doesn’t even remember what it was like to not be.

Latoya wants the federal aid.... So she can trim off a portion of that pork for herself. Nagin did it for Katrina with the massive grant for pumps for the city. Then stole a chunk and bought cheap substandard pumps. Here we are today. Anytime there is money involved. Look for that to be divided up by the City leaders....This is why New Orleans stays a shithole...the money never makes it to its intended project...
This is it. Applies to the entire state, but the city is the worst.

Just imagine if the president would have told her to cancel mardi gras????

Yep that is catastrophic. It's called a shrinking tax base, as in those who pay the taxes either leave the state or move out of the city. Electing a pro-tax democrat doesn't help either. And since the primary source of jobs and taxes is connected to O&G the collapse in the price of oil tends to create trickle down poverty.

Everywhere is in the same boat.

New Orleans has Debt obligations of $1.9 billion. Though New Orleans' debt is investment grade, the city has suffered from infrastructure and pension issues since Katrina. After the 2005 hurricane, New Orleans fired nearly half of its workforce. By 2010, New Orleans had $855 million in unfunded pensions. In 2013, just 2,300 city employees remained on the payroll.
Louisiana’s pension systems had nearly $34 billion in assets and $52.2 billion in liabilities in 2017, according to the report, a gap of $18.2 billion in its ability to pay future benefits that will come due down the road. Louisiana’s pensions were 65% funded in this metric, compared to 69% nationally. Louisiana is one of 20 states with less than two-thirds of the assets it needs to pay its future pension obligations.

Not a whole lot can be done when certain segments vote D no matter what.
It'll have to bottom out to ever have a chance to get better.
