much of it is warranted; however, a lot of it is folks convincing themselves it's the worst because they had to move to texas to get a job

A lot of the posts just reek of insecurity from both sides of the argument

i definitely agree with that

one side whenever anything negative about la is brought up: leave you snowflake pussy!
the other side: my life here in the woodlands is perfect and anyone staying in LA is an idiot

Imagine wanting to compare California to Louisiana as a way to prop up Louisiana

No kidding.

You can not like the politics of California, but come on.

LA ranks last or nearly last in almost every metric.

The population is so uneducated that they consistently elect some of the worst politicians in the country.

The state government makes banana republics look like they are run by angels.

Nothing in the state runs efficiently, or even correctly.

People love complaining about taxes, but go spend a year in Cali and let me know how it goes.


Are we going to compare taxes between Louisiana and California while ignoring the median salary?

You answered all your own questions. Louisiana is a shite hole. It is ok to admit. Good for those who get to leave and congrats to those who make it work for their family. No one is wrong.

Or in Slippy's case, Alabama. Not sure why he left that out...


Yeah, my oldest went to Bama because he got a full ride. But my daughter just got her BS and MS from LSU, and my youngest son is a sophomore at LSU.

Other than that, what's your point?

Well, you answered about half the equation there. The other half is that this board attracts miserable, self loathing, trolling types.

I mean, it's generally one of the worst states in the country by almost all major metrics. It's not really an exaggeration.

Exactly.

Louisiana is damn near last in nearly every metric out there.

We have a port at the mouth of the freaking Mississippi River and we can’t get our shite together.

In all honesty, all the blame rests solely on LA’s citizenry.

Fat, lazy, and stupid is no way to go through life.

Yes, but we've got a very well entrenched culture of political corruption that everyone accepts as normal. It's so far beyond repair at this point that there's really no going back. You've got a sizeable chunk of the population that is looking to get rich off of bullshite lawsuits and a million lawyers lining up to represent them.

I stayed here for friends and family. Traveled for years and got sick of it. Louisiana has a laundry list of issues but I’ll be damned if I don’t enjoy the life I’ve put together here. I guess my expectations and goals have always been low

a lot of that stuff only impacts poor people. Is a middle to upper middle class life really that better in Texas than Louisiana?

I don’t think so. Like I said,
There’s a lot of resentment from people who couldn’t hack it in LA so they had to move away from their family, friends, and hobbies to get a job in Houston or Dallas
