Get rid of Louisiana’s civil law legal system. It’s time to retire it.
It’s a cultural problem. It runs deeper than the legal climate. The legal climate is just a symptom.

many reasons, but a big one is that the state has an income tax
Louisiana’s tax rate is not so high that it is prohibitive from having people move in. If there were more economic opportunity, a more educated populous, better infrastructure, and less crime, people would move there even with the income tax.

It is 3%, most states with income taxes have a rate of about 5%. As a former resident that lived there 9 years, I’d rank the negatives to me in the following order -
1. Aesthetics (flat, no drainage, swampy, no real place to enjoy scenery on a Sunday afternoon drive)
2. Climate (wet and rainy, hot, no significant season change, year round mowing required and twice a week in the summer if it rains, storms, floods)
3. Traffic, poor road maintenance, lack of traffic planning
4. Crime (I get what seems like 5 or 6 email alerts every day of a crime that took place within 5 miles of my house in St George)
5. School systems (it is insane everyone’s kids have to go to private schools to get a decent education)

Currently live in number 48. I kind of feel like now is a good time to “buy low” on some of these areas.

It's a curse in disguise. They are not sending their best and brightest.

California lost 230,000 in one year. They will be losing a congressional seat every 4 years at that rate and some red state will be gaining it.
Why do you think blue states and cities are pushing so hard for illegal immigration and fighting like hell against ICE?
They don't give two fricks about the brown people. They care about the next census and the reapportionment of House seats.

While this is true, it's also true that a ton of California liberals have relocated here to Idaho.
But I’ll tell you the two times we’ve vacationed up there with him. Idahoians sure do snark when they see your ID says California even if you wearing a red MAGA hat

I know a guy who moved from Oregon to Alabama. He thought Oregon was going to try to take his guns. Also said it was because its legal to own a tiger in Bama. (I didnt know that). This dude is more Baw than most.

Bottom 10 - all are losing domestic population
41. Pennsylvania

43. Michigan

45. Louisiana
46. Massachusetts
47. New Jersey
48. Illinois
49. New York
50. California
One of these states is not like the others. I wish our state didn’t freaking suck so bad. Our people are what makes Louisiana so great, and our people are also what makes it suck so bad. Sadly, this won’t change in my lifetime.

Except Louisiana.

Ms Gulf Coast
Grew up here in the Lyman/Lizana/Orange Grove area of Harrison County. It was fairly rural 10-15 years ago. Traffic is nuts now and it seems much trashier.
My theory is gentrification of downtown Gulfport is pushing undesirables north.
Glad I'm not there anymore.
It also sucks that 49 is really the only good north-south corridor right there.

It is getting crowded and traffic has gotten a lot worse
I don’t spend a lot of time in Orange Grove
We had around Pass-Long Beach areas

Now imagine that number if illegals didn’t count in the census.

I moved from the gulf coast of Texas (from Louisiana) due to being displaced from a storm. I was either going to move back to Louisiana, Florida, or Georgia. I just couldn't do anymore hurricanes or storms, so i picked Georgia. I don’t want to have to keep going through all of that. I'll never live near the ocean again. Its just too much uncertainty. I can see having a 2nd home there, but never going to live there full time..

Please make it stop. I don’t want those people in Alabama.

How fricking sad is Louisiana? My home state. The only state in the south that appears to be losing population. If they could have just put together a half arse decent product over the last 20 years, they would be experiencing their own growth. Instead, they chose to keep their parochial institutions and insular mindset.
Every time I get the idea to possibly move back, I go home to visit and I'm reminded of why I will never move back
