Will Gentrification Ever Happen in Baton Rouge?

13Of course urban areas and even to the point of using land/tear down in older subdivisions to build newer homes. Sherwood, Broadmoor, Tara etc…..

on 3/19/23 at 1:28 pm to LAS15 years ago most of America was pointing and laughing at Detroit which had become Hell on earth and was lost forever. Slowly they are recovering, and Baton Rouge/New Orleans is descending to that shitty level. So presumably the cycle could come back around, but Louisiana has some of the worst leadership and most troubled populace in the country.

Why would you need to tear down those houses? Most are better built than what you get today. They are typically large floor plans with decent sized lots and they actually have trees unlike so many neighborhoods built today.
Sherwood is huge, some filings are straight trash but it isn't the homes, its the people.

Nope. The area is too far gone, and certain interests have much invested in the maintained poverty of the city.
Someone mentioned Detroit. Detroit went to shite and property became cheap as hell. That creates opportunity for investment. Once you have people involved that has a financial interest they make sure nothing will leak in to devalue their investment. Its when things are divided up and sold when the problems start leaking in.

on 3/19/23 at 1:46 pm to CaptSpauldingGovernment is way better than it was 5 years ago. I think north of LSU will happen next.

on 3/19/23 at 2:06 pm to LASNo, there’s no new business coming in to support the need for more safe housing.
Jesus, just move to Texas already, Louisiana. Food, family and booz doesn’t come with safety, opportunity and a better quality of life in general.

Yep.
The IBM deal never lived up to the hype.
We are becoming a shithole country in general no matter where you go. We build things and places that aren’t worth caring about. We have trashed money. Nobody can delay gratification. Meritocracy is no more. Laws are selectively applied. Need I go on?
