Elaborate on this. We’re there shady looking people standing around? Was it poorly lit? Was it dirty? What exactly do you mean

It would take the majority of New Orleans voters to stop voting for incompetent candidates that currently get those votes just because they are the same color.

Same way you save Seattle: Deep painful radiation therapy getting rid of the cancerous leftist tumors.

New Orleans is a dump and it’s only going to get worse.

The hipsters could be part of what saves the city if they wouldn't vote for such far left policy makers. Hipsters usually bring tech or other higher paying jobs and/or have high disposable income. Those are the things the city needs.
We've been hearing about this tech crap for years; Gameloft, GE... I can't even remember all the BS ribbon cuttings that have happened over the years.
New Orleans has a Congressman with a degree in computer science who's very high up in the leadership of his party.
And yet, if you look at the "tech scene" in NOLA, it's basically the same half-dozen people giving each other innovation awards every year.
The "tech" ship has sailed. I can't quite put my finger on why, but it ain't happening.
Could be the fact that NOLA attracts a stupider variety of hipster than other places.

NOLA techies are there to do anything but work. They’re there to party, and NOLA is among the best party cities in the world. Tech companies grow by inventing new things that create entirely new industries. They create a new gadget that improves lives, a new app that helps people learn, a new game that becomes a classic, come up with a new way to keep data secure from hacking, figure out a new application for an old thing, etc. It’s not just about working a 9-5 job for the weekend, but being a visionary that can create something entirely new. That innovative attitude (at least outside of the arts) doesn’t really exist in New Orleans anymore. The people of NOLA aren’t there to make something new, but to revel in a fetishized version of a past that never existed.
NOLA exudes a strange mix of escapism, nostalgia, hopelessness, lethargy, and contentedness that doesn’t exactly create the conditions of desperation for white collar people to want to spend all their time inventing something to escape their situation.
The other thing that keeps entrepreneurial techies out of NOLA is the hostile local and state governments that make renovating buildings and opening businesses extremely expensive in both money and time.

New Orleans is dead. I used to go for weekend getaways with the wife all the time. I don't think I ever will again. Drove to Memphis this weekend for a getaway instead of NOLA. frick that place.

So true...I visited with my daughter last fall and so many way too dark streets in the FQ. It was what finally convinced me I should get a CC because it reciprocates to other states.

It's amazing what streetlights can do.
None of this shite is brain surgery. Light the streets, pick up the garbage, cut the grass, and chase off the stray dogs and the bums. You don't need programs, Jim Letten, a NASCAR track, or a tech village.
The counties in the Atlanta metro mostly do these things. Jefferson Parish mostly does them. There are a handful of incorporated "name" cities in the US that don't do them, and they are being quickly reduced to boutiques instead of real, functioning cities.
