St. Tammany economic development or DSLD doing some advertising work in the NYC market.

I see Grand Isle even posting about the island always seems to make some Top 10 destination list. Visit Jefferson must really be dropping some coin on tourism magazines to get some good publicity.

This is journalistically dishonest.

No one on the north shore claims the dirty del ever since scuttlebutt ceased to exist.

That makes no sense. The point of the Hamptons is for wealthy east coasters to get away from the heat in the middle of summer.

Florida and Arizona is to get away from the cold in the winter.

Maybe they're just not high enough up in the wealth ladder.

frick me. If this is a real thing and gets traction it’s not good for the people here.



Could you imagine a bunch of new yorkers moving down here just to dragg the price up.

Traffic will get worse, And the city will use it to justify raising taxes, then the firemen are going to want a raise LA Citizens will justify their price increases, although they go up every year and dont forget Cleco, they just send you a letter saying we are raising the KW hour by another 30%.

Yeah.

These neighborhoods are a fricking cancer to the surrounding areas.

The developers clear cut a few acres, and build 100 or more shitty houses clad with vinyl siding on tiny arse lots. These little future ghettos then add more misery to the traffic situation that already sucks.

think Slidell's inclusion was just as big of a mistake as including the Lakefront pictures in New Orleans in the article.
to be fair, Lakeview is more expensive than any of those places

The rich just don’t have to deal with Orleans parish politics on the northshore, the actual reason it’s growing exponentially

It’s a nice area. Nothing special in the grand scheme but very good for LA.

Clearly they haven’t read tOT we have been full.

Would rather a moratorium on building new subdivisions in WST, go build in Slidell and Lacombe.

The reason West Fel and Pointe Coupee have adopted pretty stringent rules for subdivisions. They saw what happened in Ascension, Livingston, and Zachary with the crappy builders.
