re: NOLA's last stand: pressing issues

I honestly don't know much about the area.
Is this the only, realistic or viable area, to raise a family in New Orleans? If so, how big is the zip code? From my understanding, New Orleans is a relatively small place (mileage wise). It isn't this gigantic, urban sprawl. If that's the only place one could "safely" buy a home with a family, the prices should increase.
It sounds like nothing was there to begin with or it is pure garbage.
169 properties really isn't that much.

In New Orleans, homes in the 70130 ZIP code — which includes parts of the Irish Channel, Garden District, Central Business District and French Quarter — saw the biggest year-over-year jump in average sale price, climbing 32 percent, to almost $319 per square foot.

The next-largest gain was in the 70128 ZIP code, which includes part of New Orleans East; sale prices there rose about 19 percent, to almost $85 per square foot. A dozen years after Hurricane Katrina's devastation, the East is enjoying an economic revival, attracting new retail and other services, such as the New Orleans East Hospital, which opened in 2014.

Supply and demand. As culcha spreads, desirable housing stock decreases.

So it's all the government's fault if I read you correctly. What about personal responsibility?

There's also the long-standing but little discussed uneasy alliance between the whites with the money and the blacks with the political power in this city.

Can I add Baton Rouge to that post?
And you forgot how the lazy dumb animals want everything for free.

Just stop. It doesn't matter anymore. This shite hole has been on this path for a long time. Ether move out, or accept the fact that you live in a city on par with Detroit or Jackson, MS. There's no use fighting it anymore.

What does this have to do with anything? I love New Orleans (or loved it). New Orleans and Baton Rouge are very important cities in our state and you don't have to live there to be concerned with the condition they are in.
I travel to both very frequently, although it will be less and less with the way things are going. I'm surely not alone in this.

There is nothing wrong with NOLA. It is what it wants to be. It's not trying to be a huge metropolis. It has found its identity and if you don't like it, that's fine. Someone else does.
It's like the friend you had in college that still wants to get high and party all the time and basically have a blast. Not interested in 9-5 corporate life. It might not be the right life for you, but who the frick are you anyway?
Enjoy it or GTFO. But stop bitching and let it be....full disclosure, I moved out of NOLA 5 years ago for work. I had enough and left. But someone took my place and is loving it I'm certain

Here is an issue. The bad parts aren't segregated. You can have a nice beautiful home on a wonderful street. But you could still get shot or kidnapped on your way to the gas station. Or the closest grocery opened late is in the ghetto.

NOLA is the current "cool" city for aging, white, leftist Yankees and for their brat millennial kids. They buy homes and condos. Then there are the Air BnB entrepreneurs who bought up homes post-Katrina and fixed them up nice for short term rentals, bringing up property values.
Middle class, working age people generally can't afford NOLA anymore and why would anyone want to raise their kids there? Jefferson Parish offers much better values, neighborhoods, police protection, functioning government, streets, and you still get to go to festivals and crap in the city.

I moved back to Atlanta 2 years ago and when I sold my house on Delachaise it was insane. People weren't even haggling with me and it was not in great shape. Never seen anything like it.

The problem is, if you live elsewhere and only get your N.O. news from the OT, then you'll think every time you walk out the door you'll be shot or stabbed, when that's simply not true.
Yes, it has plenty of problems, but you can't be fed the bullshite that's just on the OT, then wonder stuff like you do.
While the city has a shitty mayor, and crime problems, it's pretty much always been that way. The majority of people who comment on it on here don't live there and blow things out of proportion.
There's still good places in the city.
