re: Peeps of the Northshore: Will St. Tammany eventually be affected by white flight?

South part of slidell. A big spot is right across from Salmen.

As many others have posted, it’s not the initial renters. After a while, the apartments begin to fall into disrepair, high end clients leave, and the owners reclassify the apartments as mixed income and section 8 moves in. When that happens, everything goes to shite

Hopefully I'll be in the ground by the time this happens. There are several complexes that are over 30 years old in Mandeville, are any of them section 8 yet? I know Cypress lakes, the Grand Palms( old Woodlands) and the apartments on the Florida cut thru aren't as nice as they used to be but are they that bad yet?

A lot of the apartments near the lake are full of illegals

Ah yes, Tijuana.

Funny story: My mother's fiance' is retired and drives a bus for a side gig. He tried to get a new stop on his route for a new student a few miles from Salmen. No dice. However, they did add a new bus stop for the Section 8 housing for him. Guess where this is? Directly across the street from Salmen. Can't have them walk across one street.

If we blow the bridges your plan will be perfect.

When I lived in Chapel Creek, a good amount of the neighbors didn’t speak English. Mexican, Chinese, you name it.

Yes. It is inevitable. You either gotta die before it gets to you are run away from it.

Same for ascension parish. Makes me consider that I should sell my land now, it may never be worth more.

Texas History lesson: Plano used to be Allen. ?

Plano is still mostly nice in my opinion. There's a lot of non white people but it's mostly successful immigrants or nuclear families that are middle class.

St. Rapeysheriff's history as a semi-upscale suburb is actually pretty recent anyway. Folsom and Covington were still pretty low-income, and pretty black, in the 1970s and 1980s.

The fall-of-Saigon-like evacuation of New Orleans East, and then Katrina, transformed St. Rapeysheriff into a bedroom community for New Orleans, but it was far from a perfect fit. It's really too far from anything important to sustain high real estate prices, and yet it still offers most of the problems of living in a true edge city (traffic, crime).

I know more than one family that skipped over St. Buttsexcop and moved straight from Jefferson to Mississippi. Poplarville is actually kind of an emerging white flight destination.
