re: NY Post says forget the Hamptons because Mandeville & Covington are the new places to live

As someone who has spent a lot of time in St Tammany , mostly in Mande/Covington- ive always been a little bit perplexed as to why the areas a little further north dont get more love.. areas like Bush LA and Sun LA and a couple of other little towns up there that I cant remember the names of.. in my 20s I dated a girl who's parents lived in Bush LA and even though I grew up in the NOLA metro I didnt even know that the area up there even existed.. ill never forget driving there for the first time, and not even an hour from the Superdome (was not during rush hour lol)- we were driving through rolling hills and passing huge ranches that looked straight out of the old Dallas tv show.. I was like 'This is south Louisiana ?'... kinda blew my mind .. ive only been back up there a few times over the last 20 years, but I always love it and I think it seems so idyllic considering how close it is to downtown New Orleans and the Southshore.. ii would think that the temps in the summer might be a degree or two cooler as well, but not sure.. im surprised with work from home that more people haven't discovered it.. plus it is relatively high and dry, and inland compared to most of South LA .

It depends on what you like. I would rather live here than Atlanta.

They will. Or maybe it’s just a little too “far.” I’ve wondered why Washington Parish hasn’t exploded. I know there’s development happening, but hopefully it stays rural and keeps its land.

Transplant boomers and Chalmations have really fricked up the Northshore.
ETA: def not the wealthy types either.

Sure, everything will eventually be discovered, one day.. But I discovered that area a lifetime ago now, and im just surprised it hasn't been even a little bit developed and talked about by now.. Especially considering that many businesses are now based in Covington LA and many people work remotely, so it's not necessarily about the commute form Bush or Sun into the New Orleans CBD.. I no longer live in America, much less Louisiana- but if I did, and had even a little bit of fexibility, or were retired- id strongly look into that area for buying or building .

OP post an article from NYP saying north shore is a great place to live
people immediately jump on here and say how terrible this is for the area and spare me the gentrification BS because it hurts the area when housing prices go up
Your response was little over the top but its the same people that say we need jobs and when jobs come they say not those jobs. The poster you responded to fails to realize that what is complaining about has already happened long before this article came out.

Don't blame the Chalmatians for the Northshore problems especially in Covington and Mandeville. Chalmette and St Bernardians migrated to Slidell, but they took over Picayune and Carriere in MS.

What do you mean don't blame them as if 20,000 Plymouth Voyagers just showed up organically.

They’re no way in hell I’d have property like that on that body of water. That’s a hurricane magnet.
