Businesses move in when criminals/freeloaders move out

Do you know Louisiana/New Orleans has some of the lowest number of college graduates? Chicago is a war zone and has a thriving business economy. The problem isn't crime its the lack of education and its not only blacks that contribute to that. What corporation would invest in a city when there is no one quliafied for those jobs in the city.

You act like people have an issue with the decent, hard working blacks.
It's the free-loading, crime-committing ghetto scum that people want gone.

Not all black people are the same. I thought you of all people would get that.

They have a problem with criminals. You think the people in this thread would be ok with the situation if the majority of the murders were white people killing each other?

I'd say no

Chicago's crime is segregated.
New Orleans crime is a block away or less. My gf lives on by all accounts an "ok" street/area by Martin's. Nice houses and good neighbors. Every day I count numerous thugs wandering around on foot or bikes sizing up cars, houses, etc. Crime doesn't stay in one area in NOLA.

Chicago's economy has not been thriving the last 5-10 years.

Well that's not really true. Chicago has a large area that is really really bad but it also has vast swaths of safe, thriving communities straight out of the Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, National Lampoons, Christmas Vacation, and Ferris Beuller's Day off. NOLA's murder rate is over double what Chicago is and it's spread out all over the place.

1. Out pricing the locals

2. New Orleans will become a Disney world version of what it once was

3. There is a job economy to support the pricing of homes economy so it's basically out of towners but up property and turning this city in to a vacation home destination.

4. When has this town ever thrived in an industry that wasn't from trade, transport, or physical labor.




Nashville is increasingly becoming a transient town. If you spend any time there you're going to find more and more people who aren't from there originally, but moved there because it's a great place. It is a good thing. They were fortunate enough to turn around certain areas before they got too bad.

Mid City is booming with people moving into the area. There are still pockets of trash, but they'll be priced out shortly. It is a good thing and I can't wait until all of the shite bag low lifes are gone.

Yep. That's because of this bull shite idea that everyone is entitled to a free college education--SUNO graduates about 6% of their kids every four years. SUBR isn't much better. All of the satellite LSU and UL campuses aren't great either. But LSU, UL, Tulane and Loyola fare pretty well.

The low graduation rates aren't indicative of the actual number of people qualified to take jobs--it's indicative of the fact that Louisiana has an over-saturation of colleges which try to sustain themselves by letting anyone in, collecting tuition for a semester or two and then processing them out.

I, for one, would be EXTREMELY interested in learning about all the black architects and city planners who literally put New Orleans on the map... I love the timeless European feel of the French Quarter.

Garden district, too. Whole different style but just as wonderful.

Cajun food and zydeco music... of African American origin as well? Muffulletas, too? Damn. I had no idea.

Wow. I used to live on Hidalgo next to the Plantation Coffee House. Nice area. Scary to read that.

A great question for the entire country is how to address the urban ghetto situation in cities across the nation. I think the answer lies in targeted trade training, coupled with a massive investment in reconstructing housing and the private sector being willing to choose patriotism over maximizing profits by offering manufacturing jobs to inner city residents.


Screw that noise. The highest position in the world is run by a black dude so don't tell me there isn't opportunity for someone to get out of the hood if they wanted. The good majority of gang bangers simply choose not to make those efforts toward improving themselves nor their communities.

I noticed you didn't actually address my statement @ the French Quarter. Do you have thoughts on that?

That AAs are responsible for 99.9% of the crime that takes place in the city? Of course. I'm questioning the way to break the cycle.

The overwhelming majority of people are products of their environment. Sure, there are outliers,for example, that squander a trust fund or get out of the ghetto and accomplish great things. I'm searching for a way to end the dependency, poverty, and crime that the entitlement state played a huge role in creating.
