Why is the Beaumont/Port Arthur/Orange, TX area so depressing?
Posted by kingbob on 12/4/20 at 11:09 am153
It seems like with all the high paying plant and port jobs in this area that these cities should be thriving, right? Lots of high paid white collar and blue collar gigs supporting a robust middle class, yet when I drive through, everywhere looks rusty, dilapidated, and possibly abandoned. What happened? Why is it so crappy? It seems like this area should have plenty of money to appear well-maintained and spruced up, but it looks like demilitarized zone.
Can anyone explain?

Great white flight in the early 90's.. Gotta go to the burbs to see anything nice now.

It's also one of the most polluted places in the country.
AP has many very nice neighborhoods.
Baton Rouge has a lot of ghetto, but a lot of nice neighborhoods as well.
West Baton Rouge parish has some nice parts that only exist due to Dow.
I have yet to encounter a neighborhood in the Beaumont area that didn’t look like Marty’s old house in the Evil 1985.

It's not. It's Texas. Everything is better in Texas, according to many people who post here.

It really isn't that nice of a place to go to. They have no real nice hotels or anything. I went down there for a fishing trip, paid for by a vendor and it was not where I would take customers.

The Golden Triangle area is somehow worse than the Permian Basin.
