Our governor "Sweet Tater" would disagree with you.
I see your point and concern. In Mississippi it is bad schools and poorly educated workforce. Also local power structure wanting a $$$$ cut before any agreement is signed.

Southern Mississippi/Coastal Mississippi is great and I could easily live there.

because the population is full of low IQ Cajuns, low IQ Blacks and they're importing low IQ Hispanics in droves
high IQ white Europeans live elsewhere
get out before it's too late

Maybe so but it appears more of the money collected in taxes makes it back into the roads and landscaping in Mississippi instead of a politicans cousin or whatever.
I-20 between Vicksburg and Jackson needs work. 49 and 98 were nice, though.

They are the HQ of one of the big six defense contractors: L3Harris (when they merged, L3 got out of NYC). And Northrop Grumman has a lot of work down there too.

When you import enough people, you are not taking in an overwhelming number of people with a Southern culture and mindset, you take in progressives that "meant well" in the policies they advocated for, but it eventually fricked up their State enough that they had the capital to move out. They influx their extra capital and raise home prices to a point where the typical local people get boxed out.
You end up with a Governor like Kentucky and Ohio where they won't explicitly hurt you, but they will do progressive things like import even more people from other countries to even further destroy southern culture.

MS lost population from 2010-2020.
It gets a few heavily incentivized large projects with some big press releases but it’s not really moving the needle.
Not a lot of dynamism happening in MS basically west of I55. Few exceptions like the Coast, Jackson and Memphis suburbs, and college towns, but lot of the rest of the state is running on fumes.
Many towns only existing now on the map because the RR runs or ran through.

By the end of 2023, Louisiana was the 3rd largest producer of natural gas, and 10th largest producer of crude oil. Big energy has bought off La. politicians for favorable tax legislation.

I drove through Mobile four times this year (taking care of family down in Florida). I am VERY impressed with the city (even though I spent the night in Saraland) and see why it may be a best-kept secret.
Hey, getting Amtrak to pay for rail infrastructure - while keeping the number of empty and useless trains to a minimum - should earn someone a bonus.
Mobile looks better than every city in the entire state of Louisiana. I can say that for certain. They have done a wonderful job. The parishes in Louisiana could take some notes from these folks.

In La’s case it’s demographics, government, climate & Dem run large cities.

Mississippi does more with less than any other state.

KY, SC, Alabama, Arkansas, and MS are still behind LA
There is a bit of Louisiana derangement syndrome in most of these threads

A shortage of I’s and Q’s.

This celebration of Miss is silly.
They are ( still ) last in nearly every category.
The tax burdens ( including income, sales, excise and property taxes ) put L and Miss well in bottom half of overall tax burdens.

Does Louisiana's legal system (still influenced by the Napoleonic Code) limit progress?

One of those states caters to a particular demographic.
