1982 is when it changed and changed overnight. The first great migration came in and the exodus began.

Well, it was shite back in the 70's and 80's too. Just a lighter hue of shite back then.

Section 8 housing and the Rise in crime along with it forced the middle class folks out.
My grandparents built their house in 60s in da East. It was a great family neighborhood. I remember as a kid catching Krewe of Pontchartrain on Hayne blvd.
With the advent of Section 8, their neighborhood quickly went downhill. It started small; people going through their unlocked car at night. Then one day me and my dad were installing bars on the windows. It got to the point where my grandma was the only white person in the neighborhood (not that being in a black neighborhood is intrinsically bad, just that the whole dynamic of the neighborhood, for whatever reason, changed for the worse.)

I venture to guess most of those families left there and moved to Slidell and other parts of the North shore
We moved her to a condo in Kenner (brah) where she still lives.
ETA: I jumped on google maps to check out grandma's old place. They turned that place into a shithole. Look at that garbage everywhere. Google Maps

In the 70s and 80s New Orleans East was the place to be. Middle class homes and neighborhoods, crowded public and private schools, Joe Brown Park and the center of it all was the Plaza Shopping Center.
Much of it was struggling by the mid 1980s. Bigly.

Yes it was that bad.
My good friend was NOPD there and constantly had crazy stories. Many times went fishing at places he had found when working crime scenes. Once I had been fishing a spot for a while and he mentioned they’d pulled a dead body out of the canal right in that spot the previous week. That was weird.
