Haven't people been leaving NOLA for the past 60 years?

Not just Nola - it’s Louisiana.

The entire South is experiencing growth never before seen. Even Alabama and the Coast of Mississippi have now passed up Louisiana.

It’s a frickin shame

st Tammany parishes.


I wouldn't move here. Crime is on the rise. People are shooting each other. The homeless population in Old Mandeville is on the rise and meth heads shooting up in the back alleys of downtown Covington.

Anyone smart would just bypass St Tammany and head north to Washington Parish or east to Mississippi.

This just in: people would rather live in a safer shithole than a dangerous shithole!

Sold my house in Lakeview in late June; I miss nothing about NOLA other than some friends there.

Was paying almost $1000/month in property taxes to a gov’t that had nothing but contempt for me and receiving essentially nothing in return.. I understand how tough it is to get out when you have a large family locally and all that entails but folks staying there have a kind of battered wife syndrome.

Good

It needs to bottom out so maybe progress can be made.



But this IS Louisiana sooooo, probably not gonna happen.

"wrong. New Orleans is completely safe and thriving, the OT is exaggerating per usual"

~34 year old white douche with a dead end job, married/engaged to a fellow hipster, living in a 1k square ft shotgun house, with a couple of cats, and is really invested into social media likes they acquire from the 2 weekends a year when their friends/family brave a trip to NOLA for a music festival or parade.

This is mind blowing. What services is New Orleans even providing? The roads are almost all shite. The police won’t show up when you call them unless someone’s already dead, you can’t send your kids to a public school, there’s not any sophisticated public transit like a subway or metro. That’s outrageous. It actually makes my blood boil.

ETA: the more I think about this the angrier I get. Seriously what does the city at all provide to an adequate level? Because those property taxes are insane. That’s more than what I pay right now in rent.

And I just moved out of New Orleans 3-4 months ago and it has been indescribably amazing.

Don’t forget once weekly trash pick up. No recycling. Frequent boil water advisories. 911 may not answer. But, hey, Teedy gets to live rent free.

So New Orleans is facing the real threat of a declining foundation from this outward migration. The death spiral is a term used for when the tax base erodes in the face of increasing needs for the city. Not sure New Orleans is there yet but the trend is heading that way.


Tends to happen when you celebrate political policies of death and destruction. That is the Left today. Let the pigs wallow in their self created shite.

This is why I was 100% against the stupid Mandeville to Bush highway that's getting built - all that's going to happen is more crappy strip malls and apartment complexes crawling out of Covington to satisfy the idiots fleeing NOLA. Now that its being built my property is about to go on the market. Rural St Tammany is about to be ruined forever.

Houses are sitting a longer time than this time last year. I’m sure interest rates play a large part in that


That's the same everywhere. Real Estate Agents jacked housing pricing up by a good margin so that they could take advantage of low mortgage rates. They are continuing to over value their listings and not accounting for the increase in lending rates.

This isn't unusual right now. This is the norm across the country.

People have been wanting to move out of the city due to window smashing. It escalated when car jacking became much more prominent.

Hard to believe the governor would not be interested in this. One of JBE's legacies will be losing our most important city.
