Leaving, going up Pine Street, to Earhart, is like driving on a country dirt road... I really don't know how the people that live around there put up with it.
—-And it’s even worse in the Quarter. Some of the side streets look and ride like they haven’t been fixed since 1718

Told me homeless are using the kids playgrounds uptown and sent me a picture of panties and a needle at the same park. Horrible
Have noticed more homeless hanging at Audubon park lately. Only noticed them hanging out near benches or bathrooms. Think they kicked homeless out of Navy yard and spread out through the city

Just wait until you’re gone for a while, your going to look back and be absolutely shocked at what you “normalized”.
This.
While you are there, your mind tricks you into thinking all that shite was normal and/or acceptable.
You were completely unaware of the weight on your shoulders until it's gone.
frick that place.

That's disgusting, gross. Which park is it so I don't bring my little one there?

Close - near Washington Avenue and Laurel

Oh ok you didn’t even live in New Orleans
Nope, we moved to JP in 2018 after having had enough of the shitshow and lived there from 2018-2022. Lived in New Orleans for years before that, however. And maintained employment in the city at Tulane Hospital the entire time there.
Get this, guy, you don't have to actually live in the city at the time of the critique to know that New Orleans is a shithole. It's the American version of Mogadishu. You just have to have experienced it to know that it's bad and has gotten worse.
But if not giving credence to critiques from current non-residents helps your rationalize the fact that you love living in squalor, that's on you.

New Orleans is poor relative to other parts of the country. And leads the poverty rate of all major cities.

Jefferson parish did work on Severn, by Rummel, this summer. They had it finished and striped by the time school started.

I'm surprised it didn't hit the OT, but somehow the council managed to pass an ordinance that basically bans bike lanes. This after years of investing in bike lanes.

I am from New Orleans, but have been living in the Milton/Alpharetta area of Atlanta for 10 yrs. A good friend of mine, who lives in a nice area of uptown visited me last summer. He could not stop talking about how amazed he was at the fine condition of the roads. Sometimes, you don't realize how crappy New Orleans is until you move away.

Ain't Dere No More isn't just a horrible song...it's a lifestyle in NOLA.
Dream about what once was so you can ignore what is and what is yet to come.

If everyone is hunky dory then you don't have lil Tranquavious stealing a car and shooting others with a stolen handgun then proceeding to sell off some heroin to make some cash to flash on TikTok then later riding over to where his hoes stay at to create fatherless offspring.

I tell my wife once a week minimum I feel like I'm living in a dream land relative to where we were 6 months ago.
I get a kick driving over the Black Warrior River every morning and seeing the lush greenery. The leaves are starting to change. It's also a good 10 degrees cooler than New Orleans at the moment. There's not trash and abandoned shite on the side of the road or a panhandler at every stop light. Nor are there nightly "random" shootings on the interstate or potholes around every turn that make you apologize to your car. There's free public parking every weekend beginning at 5 downtown and you're not actively being nickeled and dimed. The traffic is NOTHING comparatively, even during Alabama gamedays. People are just generally more helpful and friendly. I could keep going but you get the picture.

Where are you located exactly? I left Nola in June and now in Birmingham. My daily life and perspective is 50 times greater already. Such a great move for my family.
