What would you expect?
I would expect there to be an area within 40 miles that is nice to live.
Lake Charles metro has Carlyss and South Lake Charles. I haven’t seen anything similar in SETX, although I’m not there very often.

Who wants to live next to a chemical plant?
Now people are moving there... Funny how some demographics are worse than cancer

The west end area in Beaumont is fairly nice. Thomas road is full of baller houses. But a lot of people live outside of Beaumont on property. Go west on 105 and there are little neighborhoods tucked back in the woods that are nice. And north around Lumberton you have the same thing

Liberals still call it "Cancer Alley" but they refer to basically the land along the river in the "River Parishes," from Br basically to New Orleans. Much "academic scholarship" written on that. As for Beaumont area it does seem depressing driving though there but I think it just thinks its in La.

Those of us who make decent money don't live in town. I'm in the county but 10 min from 3 boat ramps on the sabine. I have enough money that I don’t have to live in a neighborhood where I can hear the neighbor's ole lady fart before she gets in her car. There's a bunch of people like myself who wouldn't give up what we have to live in a area where people are stacked on top of each other..

But the problem with BR is you get the shittyness of places like Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange - with a side dish of big city crime (like Houston, Chicago or NOLA)
Beaumont and Baton Rouge are like cousins or something

The landscape isn’t helping. Flat and boring.
Which is different from Houston or even the entire I-10 corridor east of Houston how?

I'd rather live in BR than that part of Texas in a vacuum. It is a midget fight though.

That’s bc you’re from BR
Nothing wrong with it and it’s just a slight joke
(I can’t be a total bitch to you bc based off your posts I think we don’t live too far from each other)

I'm from the great town of Central thank you. But yeah, I grew up maybe 5 miles outside of BR.
I'd never move from here for a place with the same climate and terrain though unless I had to for employment reasons.

Central was not the town of Central when you were growing up - im guessing it was unincorporated BATON ROUGE.
And please - what is the difference bw BR and Central?? my siblings live in Central - when I go visit them it’s not like it’s some other world like Denham Springs or Port Allen
I’m not sure if I’d move to east Texas either but after living somewhere I didn’t want to live for a while - I’d try anything

Blue collar man. Good people, hard working but they don't need beneighs and chicory in their coffee. The area is past its prime also.

Like Longview is to Tyler, and Odessa is to Midland, Beaumont/PA is to Houston.
