Do not associate the grandeur of our iconic national parks to piss infested French quarter.

Donald Trump would sell it off for mining and drilling rites

New Orleans can't manage the public safety infrastructure for the primary source of tourism in the city?

Let's turn it into the national park, but divert all sales taxes and hotel taxes to support said national park.

Not the worst idea I ever heard. But maybe we could start by banning cars with out-of-state plates. There's no reason Herb and Gladys from Dubuque need to be clogging up Decatur St.

This is true. Yellowstone with its Grizzly Bears ain’t got shite on the animals that inhabit the Crescent City.

They own some of the buildings in Skagway, part of Gold Rush NP. Not specific areas, just specific buildings.

Buildings would start collapsing as the gobment tried to write specs for bidding on repair jobs.
Everything would be open to bid, from light bulbs for illumination to materials used for downspouts. (No longer could copper be used for those parts that the locals couldn't reach to steel, but copper would be required for the entire downspout.) All paint removal would have to be tested for lead before it was painted over. etc.

Parts of the Quarter is part of Jean Lafitte, I thought. I have seen park rangers conducting tours for decades.

1) A small chunk of it already is one.
2) It would be poorly managed by a combination of lowest bidders and indifferent/incompetent public employees.
3) Would all the businesses have to become govt contractors?
4)It would be shut down annually during the budget battles in Congress
5) Historic properties would quickly run down and crumble
6) It would prove that even a troubled, inefficient, and dirty private sector is far superior to any public one.

The tourist would become catch and release instead of killed.

And “C” is not an abbreviation for Quarter
