1. Billions of Dollars of Federal Money to build an unsustainable medical center.

2. Bohemians doing whatever they do because they admire the unique primitivism of the city, and declare the parts of the city that generate income not cool and the areas that don't cool.

3. The future is the past? The desire to renovate a building designed for commerce into a hotel.

This is not a boom.

Agree
And if a person with moderate income would save their money and buy a dump in a crap neighborhood, they could have the best investment in their lives in a few years.

OleWar is here now and has it all figured out with three bullet points.
Thread over.
There is nothing positive about anything happening in N.O. TigerLee will back him up in this.

The WTC deal still kind of pisses me off. We have companies willing to invest hundreds of million dollars here and the city will not finish the "deal" and get the fck out of the way to let someone proceed with the development.

There will be a great new airport finished before ground breaking at the WTC site I bet.

Tigerlee just hates cities/urban living. OleWar I think is actually a sociopath. his posts belong in some manifesto (unless im confusing him with another poster)

To be fair, by breaking ties with gatehouse and restarting the development process, the city is getting a lot more rent and a better name hotel (four seasons > W)

Cities all over convert offices to hotels. The highest and best use of a building changes over time. I'm not saying that New Orleans is tearing it up in white collar jobs, but old office buildings are just not a good measuring stick.

No, there are booming areas over sea level.

A good portion of the booming area is above sea level.

Curious s to why the Claim of the UMC being "large"....424 beds is a fairly small academic medical center


not sure about bed size amount but the entire campus is massive.

Most people believe the entire city is below sea level.

Hell, I probably sit higher than some in BR.
