Regarding good schools: I’ll proffer Newman, Sacred Heart, McGhee, Country Day, et al.

If it is, you're not fricking welcome and move out of state.
I'll just buy up houses in your hood for pennies on the dollar vs what I'd pay in a blue state and section 8 them, thank you very much.

If one doesn’t appreciate good food, good architecture, good music, good schools, affordability, walkability & the outdoors, I can understand why that person may not appreciate New Orleans.
Maybe because you can have all that in plenty of other places without getting killed or your window smashed 5 times a month

His posts are pretty funny.

Additionally, Poland Avenue (Bywater) recently had several interesting properties. That is a wonderful neighborhood for children to play, as the levee, batture and Industrial Canal are nearby
Poland avenue by the river is a great place for children to play. Only a crackhead would think that stretch is a wonderful place for children

Nola is the biggest fricking shite hole not just in America but in the world. Third world city. That's all I got.
Nah, it’s bad for a major city. But like Haiti exists.

After Katrina both states took in a lot of the nasty riff raff from New Orleans. Go West this time. Neither one of our states want you. Period.
They ruined Baton Rouge too.

Metairie CD. You are the one pointing to the school’s existence as proof that there are good schools in New Orleans.

They ruined New Orleans, and we all know who they are

Carpetbaggers, especially of the hipster variety, destroyed New Orleans.

Correct, until we get decent politicians in Louisiana supporting tax reform this state is wrecked

I don't know how to link, but web search the 1987 Atlantic article "Hard Times in the Big Easy" by Nicholas Lemann. History is somewhat repeating itself with respect to the impact of unchecked violent crime. I remember that year, and my street in uptown had 2 murders on it, and this was right off St. Charles in the middle of the golden rectangle. In those days you could buy large, architecturally significant houses in the best parts of uptown and the GD for a song, as native New Orleanians were moving to Metairie and the NS in droves.
However, the difference in the present day is the influx of carpetbaggers and tax refugees from blue states who are buying up the same inventory that was not moving in 1987. I see these people in the restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, as you can spot them a mile away. To me they are total weirdos and I hate that they bring their failed politics with them (hence, e.g., the reelection of far left progressive LaToya Cantrell), but they keep the tax base alive at the very least.
Nola is 304 years and holding. It adapts and survives in weird ways. People still want to be here despite the good, the bad, and the ugly mayor.

The day it turned for the worse in NOLA was November 22, 1984. That’s when 17 y/o Mark Posey was shot and killed outside of Fat Harry’s by a guy robbing his girlfriend. It seemed like crime took off after that day.

Not really sure why this is worthy of discussion. This has been happening for decades. It’ll be interesting, though, to see how higher interest rates will affect the ebb and flow in the next few years.
