Many responses will try to make this out as a race thing but that does not have as much to do with it as they suggest.
I’m from DeSoto Parish but I have lived in a Sacramento suburb for thirty years. The ghetto youth ruin things issue is a real one. The most vibrant shoppings centers in my area are in Burlingame, Walnut Creek and Roseville. The malls that were within quick access of youths or homeless hoards struggle to survive.
I noticed youths at the Louisiana Boardwalk on a visit home in 2019 but the stores and restaurants were full of people. I hoped the community would protect Boardwalk from thugs. Last summer there were still a decent number of open stores and restos.

Bossier City will likely own it within a year. With the East Bank area serving as the 'party' district, I'd like to see it repurposed into housing and hotels.
They'll make Section 8 housing and run off BassPro.

Me and a few friends dropped off a buddy at a little whorehouse on Sprague street back in the mid 80’s. Waited for him outside for thirty minutes while he did his business. Longest thirty minutes of my life. Sprague and Looney St. were no go’s even back then.

You know what happened. Same thing that always happens when we try to have nice things in Democratic run areas.
Exactly, the wrong demographics ("Hip Hop crew") took over. I last went in the mid-2010s ... it was still decent then.
I'm Black and know most Black households do a poor job raising their kids. It has nothing to do with racism but they gaslight liberals all the time with that

The rent for us was outrageous. Then they wanted to charge us to put christmas decorations up. I hated to see my old store close but the area was cooked. Pickleball isn't saving it and I do not believe they want to save the property. Something as simple as allowing open containers and holding concerts under the Texas St. bridge would have been a good step

Some cities in the state would do that, but Bossier tends to do things, or at least attempts to, contrary to that. I read somewhere that called Bossier Parish the Chik-Fil-A of parishes. Yeah it's still fast food, but at least they appear to give a shite.

They aren't shy about telling a certain demographic to go back across the river

This won't happen. They've done a fantastic job on the East Bank area. They need to figure out a way to link that to the Boardwalk and to the new Live casino, and make it a whole entertainment/shopping area.

Without open containers it is pointless
