I watched Treme too.....( eye roll)
The idiot author was a story editor on Treme for HBO and now works on The Chi for ShowTime. His bias is apparent.
And this is the sentence at which the article makes a hard left turn and never deviates from being about race. How does this shite get published as news? It’s a fricking editorial.

They can feel free to go be “oppressed” elsewhere.

I agree, white liberal transplants are killing New Orleans

He was a writer at the TP for a few years and was a butt buddy (no homo) with Jarvis Deberry.. Both cut from the same cloth. He seemed like a wanna be Spike Lee.

These lugnuts have the craziest view.
They want the stable families and neighborhoods to be forced to segregate with the unstable, but they don't want the more stable families encroaching on the poor.
It's like they see that taking 4.5 gallons of horse shite and adding it to .5 gallons of ice cream makes 5 gallons of horse shite but think that adding 4.5 gallons of ice cream to .5 gallons of horse shite makes 5 gallons of ice cream.
They think that turning blighted, crime-ridden neighborhoods into peaceful havens for families and children is just a well-run government program away. It's like they can't conceive that many in these neighborhoods are there because of their own choices in continuing to make bad decisions in life.

Good. Needs more of it.
FQ needs to be locked down like fricking Times Square.

Yeah I’m sick of excuses being made for some people that refuse to do a damn thing to improve their lives.

Saying regentrification is ruining the city...
"The city has become less populous, less black, more white, richer at its historic center and poorer in many surrounding neighborhoods."
The loss of newspaper is apparently ruining the city as well...
Who really cares?

The times pic building is still up (partially).
I like threads like this because I can learn stuff about places I don't know much about. So, I looked up this building and checked out some photos over time.
Wow, this building might be one of the better examples of quick urban decay that I've seen.

Hasn't every mayor of New Orleans been African American, or partial African American since 1970?

Would it be correct to say that Houston killed New Orleans?
another port that allowed companies to avoid Louisiana and its ineptitude entirely?

Still has plenty of Culcha, which is really all that matters.

read the whole article and paraphrasing one portion " he couldn't work for a person, John Georges, who ran for office and was a big donater/influencer to one side of the political landscape"
I wonder if he would feel the same way if Eugene Robinson or Marc Morial bought the newspaper or more realistic Oprah or Robert Johnson (BET founder)....so who's the racist?

A lot of the properties are purchased by out of towners rather than local
Meh, that is a little bit of a problem, but these people are purchasing and fixing up properties all over the damn city. They are turning run down shitholes into nice places.
Also, the whiney arse article is so wrong it's funny. Nola is a better place now than it's been in 40 plus years.
