It’ll be Gaza

A mix between Gaza and Fallujah

"Let’s see. A thug with dreadlocks purposely hit a police officer who was patrolling on Greenwell Springs Road today. The same individual was released from jail in 2014 for a similar offense. I’ve lived in the Baton Rouge area for the greater part of my 59 years and can confidently say that in 10 years, Baton Rouge will be a much worse place than it is now."

Is there a single metric that has been going in a positive trend the last 10 years?
South BR is growing at a rapid pace. Gardere has even been somewhat cleaned up.

Worse relative to where it is today.
Much, much worse relative to other comparable cities you could move to.

That’s the status quo at work.
Is there a new positive challenge to the status quo?
If not (and there’s not), the next ten years will be as negative or worse as the previous 10 years have been.
tl/dr: Get Out

BR will become a larger turd.

Honestly, lol.

EBR will improve greatly with the establishment on the St George ISD. It will force EBR schools to make drastic changes and/or shrink it to fit a declining student population (which it has already started doing). You won’t see the outmigration to Livingston and Ascension that you see today- it may still happened but at a much slower pace because there will be a legit public option in BR. There is already a big new development being built on Airline across from Zaxbys that will be a center point for retail and office growth in St George, and more housing will be built in that area. Regarding BR looking like Jackson in a few years, that’s laughable. People who live in Old Goodwood, Jefferson/Bocage, Southdowns, Garden District, LSU Lakes aren’t going anywhere and that’s your tax base. I can see a split in our current form of government though, eliminating the city/parish set up. I’m actually bullish on the area now that SG is up and running.

At least we've reached a pivot with Edwards and Morse at the helm.
With all respect with AI dictating more and more it's pretty hard to say what 2030 let alone 2035 is going to look like anywhere.
Chief Morse said on the news last night that he's about to ask Liz Murrill for help to get around the 19th JDC to keep repeat offenders from getting bailed out over and over

Go pull a copy of the Advocate from the 90s.
It's been a creeping pestilence that has everyone should have seen from they set foot in BTR as an adult. While ATL is a much larger metro area, the rate and scale of decay is nothing like what I've watched happen in BTR since the 90s.

As long as we elect people who concentrate on crap like chem trails, window tint and street names and not education, crime and roads, Louisiana will continue to digress.

How is BR going to improve when the voting majorities are democrats? They’re going to vote along racial/party lines and the city will continue to regress. Neither the Capital nor LSU can save it. The real question is to what degree it will slip.
But Louisiana is Republican controlled. They have some say so in what goes on in BR. And right now it's all Republican including the governorship. Also the state has more power than local municipalities in Louisiana to my knowledge

Do they? What can they do about BREC, the Library, CATS, EBRP schools, etc.? If they had a meaningful say, would St. George have been an issue? What has caused the flood to anywhere but EBR in the metro area that's been going on for decades?

Well, ok then, just abolish all local governments and let the temporarily (R) controlled state fix it.

BR will be better solely because of the widening of I10 (assuming that gets done within 10 years)
