re: Why doesn’t New Orleans do more to attract middle-class home buyers?

Isn't New Orleans growing at the same pace as Houston right now?
I always love comparing Houston/Dallas to New Orleans. Like comparing apples and meerkats.
I compare because I honestly believe NOLA could have been what Houston and Dallas are today, but better due to the cultural influence that neither Dallas or Houston have.
Edit: Here's 2018 fastest growing metro areas. NOLA is not in the top 10.

Population growth of 4% Metro area of 10 million is a hell of a lot more people than 4% in a metro area of 2 million.
A town with a population of 1 gets another person to move there, they now have a 100% population growth. Houston might have 25k people moving there per day which wouldn’t even equal 1% growth. See the difference?
Please tell me New Orleans private school education taught you that?

Because the middle class in New Orleans buy houses in Jefferson, Plaquemines or St Tammany. Most of the residential areas in Orleans Parish are either crime ridden shite holes or you have to be an OT baller to afford them. There isn't really much in the way of decent middle class neighborhoods in Orleans Parish.

Dude, I am the North Dallas suburb champion of the board. I am not however clueless. The feeling you get strolling through the quarter and downtown on a 65-degree day cannot be manufactured.

have you seen home prices for these cities?
I'm talking inside the actual city
because they are not any better than NOLA
Yeah not many solidly middle class people have houses within 635 here. 1200 sqft is $450k.

This or both. They are trying to gentrify so many areas right now. Plopping down $800k houses in shitty neighborhoods, all with the hope that the neighborhoods eventually turn around.

Not really. Lafayette possibly is a better comparison if you ask me. Dallas is a hub in its region, but that is a joke. New Orleans doesnt have the logistics.
Houston maybe gets the comparison, but land wise it wasn't possible.
There wasn't an oil boom like there was in Texas, yes there was oil found in south Louisiana, but that was a different time and era.

They are both closer to 1.5%.

Laffy doesn't quite have the port New Orleans does.
Logistically NOLA should be a top 5 metro area. The only drawback (which could be considered significant) is the threat of natural disaster wiping out life (work force) and capital (warehouses, machinery, etc.)

Exactly my point. NOLA should be on par with Houston. But NOLA is on the darkest timeline apparently.

Hell it is basically turning into Boston. People from the Northeast have swarmed New Orleans and are moving down here in droves. They are driving up the prices. Now what they do for a living I couldn't tell you because the job market ain't exactly booming.

Telecommute appears to be the big answer.

Best decision was moving... Garden District and Uptown was cool and all but frick everything else.
Place will never change, and that's truly sad.
