Mid 80’s for me. Turned to shite on a steep downhill slide. What a shame.
Decline started at oil bust in the 80s, inclined slightly after Katrina, then declined again under Landrieu, then really declined under Latoya to where people are fleeing Orleans parish now.

New orleans is just a tourist place now. Too expensive to live in and none of those skyscrapers downtown are going to pay you enough to live in it.

Let’s not act like 16 million or so people visit the city and have a great time or anything. That can’t be true because Frank from La Place is scared to go into the city.

Absolutely wrong, it was shite before Katrina and the 5 to 10 years after were great. The last 10 years or so and definitely since Covid has went to shite.

I get a great chuckle when people from BR try to talk down on New Orleans.
Baton Rouge has all of the same problems, without any of the charm. Baton Rouge is honestly one of the worst cities in America. Terrible traffic, racial tensions, murder problems, rap wars, all of the culture exists to the east and the west, little history, and naturally it’s one of the ugliest pieces of country in America.
You people have no business talking down on anywhere, really.

Dude, those buildings from the Exposition were never intended to be permanent.

Moon landrieu started shaking down the industrial base like a mobster and that was the beginning of the flight of business and subsequently snowballing downhill

Has New Orleans lost a lot of residential buildings since the 60s when it peaked at 630,000 (50s and 70s were just below 600,000 people) that got turned into non-residential areas or areas closer to single family homes? Or does it have a lot of buildings with unused or decrepit floors that the businesses below don’t want to give up?
2024’s estimate was 362,000 people.

This is the reason for the wheels off. But the question is when and why did that happen.

78, or whenever those thugs waited in bushes and killed that guy and his family over by Audubon place or that area. He had security system etc and when he opened his gate and garage door they jumped him. That my
Tipping point per my relatives in New Orleans and they were old old blood.
I remember them saying that the guy didn’t everything he could to protect him family but it didn’t matter and that if it could happened to him it could happen to anyone.
I heard all this second hand, maybe someone on here has the correct information
