Demographics change drives a lot of this.
A less civilized majority means higher crime, fewer jobs as businesses leave and schools performance goes down.

Why would anyone stay

When you see a dude wearing an ugly arse LSU fishing shirt that knows the names of every server in there standing at a table, that's me. 
Been to On the Kirb once, not super impressed. Not saying it's bad, it's just very sterile. I know that's an odd observation, but very mechanical for a "pub-ish" atmosphere.

Louisiana exists to feed Atlanta and Texas graduates.
You can add FL. to that list. There are a lot of professionals out here with degrees from La. that are now permanently working and living here.

They'll up the tax on the fools who stay. I mean they already did but they'll do it again.

White people fleeing to the Dakotas and Wyoming. Wish I was one.

If I'm reading that map correctly, parishes and counties along the Mississippi River, particularly in the South, really took a beating.

Of all the problems that Louisiana has, I'm convinced that #1 is Brain Drain. Folks get a degree and bail. It’s a cycle. Uneducated workforce doesn’t attract investment,
We don't have the infrastructure for real economic growth, so the educated go where there are economic opportunities.
The underlying issue is our population, which destroys everything.

I agree with a lot of what you said but communicating 45min to a city won't find you a job.
Not to mention the remote working jobs. There’s many of those now and it opens you to living in places like never before. People are tied at the hip to major cities like they once were.

They're selling their homes, pulling their kids out of school and leaving. Leaving their parents, grandparents, and extended family behind. Ouch. I met a couple of those families at my church. I felt their pain.
How can this happen? A state with unlimited national resources, the Mississippi River along its eastern border, and the potential for commerce galore, among other assets.
It's the land of my ancestors. I left in the late eighties - job-related. I kept hoping the state would get its political and economic act together and make a comeback. I hoped to return when I retired. Instead, the state kept sliding down. Ultimately, leaving was the best thing.
Sad

I've said it before and I'll say it again: too many blue-collar workers and not enough college-educated STEM and healthcare workers. That's why louisiana wil never have an economic boom. A massive component of the culture in south louisiana involves excessive partying, which says alot about their values and morals regarding education and such. I know because I have family there and while they're good people, they party way too much and sell their souls to LSU sports because there's nothing else to do there.

what is there to do in houston that isn't in br or nola, other than the opera?
that is about as bad of an anti-louisiana argument you can make

Once again, you aren’t working remotely in some rural area in LA making the same salary you would be if based in some of the larger cities across the country. And the cost of living argument doesn’t offset it either.

Orleans Parish is getting some of the blue state carpetbagger migration that is mostly going to Texas and Florida. These people are weird and they stick out like a sore thumb. But a lot of them have money and this place is cheaper than where they came from, which is crazy. They have driven up the price of housing in Nola substantially.
The worst part is they bring their failed politics with them.

Grew up in North Louisiana, left for the military in 1962. Settled in Tennessee in 69. Moved back to La. in about 1990, for about nine months. What a change, all bad. Left, back to Tennessee and I'm not leaving.

You're about 10 years late
You can tell the age of old country songs by how highly they speak of Jackson, MS. Country songs now speak highly of Nashville. Nashville is on the express train to Jackson status.
