Will Covid-19/Civil Unrest Finally Finish NOLA?

Completely serious. We hear talks about how bad Covid-19 and the Civil Unrest over the summer is going to hurt cities but it's mostly referencing major cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, SF, Seattle and Portland. But what about New Orleans?
I mean lets be honest, NOLA is a great place in terms of bars, restaurants, live entertainment, events and sports. Those aspects have been used for far too long to hide just how dysfunctional NOLA is as a city. Without stuff like Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Saints, great food and great music NOLA is a third world type city.
Covid-19 and the Civil Unrest have taken the good aspects away (via Latoya the Destroya) from NOLA and is exposing just how terrible and hopeless the city is.
A ton of restaurants, bars and music venues in the city are probably going to go under. Due to that you will probably have a ton of people who worked in the hospitality sector leave to find work elsewhere. That will continue the already established erosion of the tax base. Wealthy individuals/corporations will buy those vacant properties for pennies on the dollar and start to hollow out the city. You might finally see restaurants like McDonalds, Taco Bell, Five Guys, Subway and Chipotle in the FQ/Marigny/Bywater areas. You'll still have the crime of NOLA, just without any of the soul.
Never mind with telecommunting and remote work people for the first time can really decide where they want to live and not just base where they live off their work.
So why are people going to stay? If you're a current resident of NOLA, why are you staying? Do you plan to stay or are you planning to leave at some point?

Latoya will finish it regardless of those things

No, the RESIDENTS of New Orleans will finish New Orleans. Give them a little more time and they’ll make it happen.

Telawork might help NOLA, IMO.
DA DESTROYA is the biggest threat.
Without jazz fest etc nola is fricked.
It's all on Georgia Senate.
If Dems carry nola gets lifeline.
If not, the city will go bankrupt and it'll be a bloodbath.

Nola will always have a thriving legal scene.
Half of the posters here bill time and post at the same time.

What civil unrest are you thinking went on in Nola? It was pretty tame compared to a lot of places.
I do worry a lot about the future of Nola. The combo of Covid and count Destroya might be too much to overcome. Nothing of significance will take place in the city until next fall and that's bad. Very bad.
Despite all the shite posting about Nola, the city before Covid was better than it had been in 35 years and tourism and real estate was booming.
I don't know what to think anymore.

That's going to be the hard part, how does the city hold on? I agree the Civil Unrest wasn't bad in NOLA this time around but with the city being majority black we all know that NOLA is still a Civil Rights powderkeg waiting to happen. To me that very much holds the city back.
Obviously Mardi Gras is off, I haven't checked on Jazz Fest but guessing Jazz Fest will either be canceled again, delayed until summer, significantly reduced or virtual. Living in NOLA what is the word on Jazz Fest and other festivals for 2021?

What happens in NO every day is the functional equivalent of civil unrest.

Covid, probably.
Civil unrest? Not from what I have seen. The most significant civil unrest I have seen south of Kentucky was in Atlanta. Most people down here could give a shite.

I'm assuming Jazzfest is going to be cancelled. Too much logistics and signing contracts with major acts, etc is involved for them to be able to wait a few more months to see what happens. LaToya will fight has hard as possible to make them cancel ASAP.
I guess French Quarter Fest, being smaller, can wait a while to decide.

Not as if those major acts are booked up at this point.

I think Fyre Fest 2 seems like a safer option than Jazzfest under Destroyah.

you realize that helps new orleans more than any other city of similar size and economy

If there was a city/infrastructure that could pull off a festival on short notice it would be NOLA.
Don't envy the Jazzfest people and the task for them to plan and plan for contingency plans and plan for contingency on those plans.

The city and infrastructure itself aren’t what I would worry about. It is the executive in charge, who is a window kicking retard.

Plan around her.
Blackened Out might be able to give some insight at what they are doing. Not on the same level, but at least an honest comparison.

You can’t defeat her in these battles
I guess folks can start planning events in Jefferson Parish, but that’s just not the same
