I live in Lafayette now after growing up in Slidell. Lafayette food and culture WAY overrated. Traffic is awful. Would not want to stay here if I didn’t have to.



Compared to what? Slidell?

Like all Louisiana cities, the people that stay will never leave and couldn’t imagine living somewhere else. The people that leave see it for the shithole that it is.


I left, realized I liked living in Louisiana better, then came back

I hear smack is easier to come by in Slidell

Lafayette’s traffic does suck considering the size of the town. Infrastructure planning is definitely lacking

Folks who grew up in Lafayette seem to love it. I’m glad they’re happy. I don’t hate it....it’s just not home I guess. But I wouldn’t want to move back to Slidell either. Slidell has become Chalmette since Katrina.
