Politicians everywhere are horrible, but when you take a look at Louisiana and see that our gold standard is an idiot like Garret Graves, and the morons of this state are routinely fooled by pieces of shite like John Bel Edwards and Bill Cassidy, you realize there is no hope.
Yep. All politicians suck but the LA legislature is truly depressing to look at. We are not sending our best and brightest to baton rouge.

We've lived in Austin, Houston, Dallas, Nashville, NOLA, BR, and currently St Francisville. Hands down Austin and St Francisville are the two best locations we've lived. Austin for pre and probably post kids but St Francisville is a pretty nice slow pace for raising our young kids currently.
I couldn't live on west coast but could see myself living on east coast. Honestly I'd rather own three 1,000 s.f. places in different locations as a retirement gig over picking a specific place.

Florida is a well run state but the climate isn't appealing to me at all.

My law practice is here, and while I am licensed in Texas, I can't just start over at my age. I am going to have to play out the string. But make no mistake... I am running calculations about early retirement at least weekly. I don't have the guts to do it right now.

I moved away after I graduated from LSU after having lived here all my life. Lived in 2 different states and couldn't wait to come back. People were different than what I was used to, along with other things I missed like the food, being close to family, good hunting and fishing, etc. Its all in what you want out of life but I'm glad to have grown up here and glad to have the opportunity to bring my children up here, and plan on staying here for the rest of my life.

I’ll never understand people who complain about living in a place that affords them a beautiful home and vehicles, ac, clean air and water, the ability to practice whatever religion and trade they want, the opportunity to pursue an education. Life is about being grateful for the many blessings you do have. Not everyone is fortunate.

After living out west it would be really hard to move east of the rockies again.

we still had property in NOLA when we bought the farm up here in east TN knowing we had to remodel and add on to the very old cabin and farm house.
We saw an ad in the Times Pic for a large number of doors at a home in Slidell. They had bought the doors after a house on St. Charles had been remodeled. The doors were too tall for us to use. We asked why they were selling.
They had planned to use them in their to-be-built dream house, but said their children were approaching their teens. All of a sudden they realized it was time to move because if they stayed (even though the wife had just gotten the promotion of her dreams) their children would meet and marry locals and they'd all be stuck.
So they were selling out and moving back to Charlotte NC where they could see better futures for all four of them.

Strange drop in. I don't think the people planning on leaving are moving to Afghanistan.

Left for north GA/Atlanta (lived in Canton), came back to BR, then bolted after one year for The Woodlands.
North GA was gorgeous and we never should have left. The Woodlands (and Houston proper) blows away anything in Baton Rouge. I will say, the fishing along the LA coast cant be beat, but thats it.
Current dialog has us considering a move to CO on the horizon.
LA sucks. Period.

Strange post.
But, the real estate prices in SoLa, shitty public education options, notorious petro-chem industry, etc. disagree with your pro-LA angle.

This is why everyone stays here. You stay for family, especially elderly. Then they die and you become the elderly you stayed in order to be near, and the cycle continues.
This, this, THIS. My dad has always said this, but I never listened. Visiting people is too easy now for you to stay in an area just because family is there. Technology like Facetime makes it easier than ever to see them too.
You cannot live your life for your mom/dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc., you have to live for you, your spouse, and your kids, period.
I'm out after this even though I wasn't impacted. The stress is too much. I spent several days in Terrebonne and Lafourche putting up tarps, and the misery changed my thinking. I'm out within the next 6 months.
