Where can a normal God fearing person stake a claim in Louisiana and avoid the chaos?

Let's go ahead and cross Alexandria off the list

Lake Charles? Mandeville?

Anywhere north of I-10 with a population under 25,000.

I've been told that Natchitoches is nice. It's a college town so there may be some liberals and diversity there if that bothers you.

Jennings has some fine old fixer uppers a person could pick up for a deal. The town offers easy access to I-10, an old train station and Darrell's

If you’re looking to escape you can catch some foreclosures for sale in Washington parish really cheap. Bogalusa gets kicked around for the smell and the culture but the smell really isn’t bad since the chemical plant left. Also I live outside the city and I never smell the mill. Franklinton area is nice but does have a pet food plant that gets smelly periodically. Private schools all around that are cheap.(<$6,000 for two kids). Definitely get outside the city of either, even though Franklinton isn’t bad at all, just the food plant.

What kind of diversity? Political? Religious? Clothes? Hair color?

I hope there is diversity of thought on the college faculty, that would be nice

What kind of lifestyle do you want?

How far of a drive do you want to be from grocery stores, restaurants, and other conveniences of life?

Do you want to be in the suburbs? City? or do you want to look out your back door and see miles of fields and trees?

There is no place I know of to have city type convenience and rural type openness.
