Will Gentrification Ever Happen in Baton Rouge?

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

Nope. The area is too far gone, and certain interests have much invested in the maintained poverty of the city.

15 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.

Unlikely imo on any sort of large scale. You'd need jobs that attract young professionals and we simply do not in big numbers.

Happening big time in Old Goodwood and has been going on for years in the Garden District and Capital Heights

Isn't there some of it going on in Mid City and down government?
If you go to mid city beer garden its filled with hippies who bring their dogs.

The state would have to change first, then the reflection of that would be evident.
Jobs, money, opportunities, laws, etc

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.

People would have to want to live there.

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.

Sherwood is mostly ghetto, 8 people living in 3 bedroom 180k houses

Might need a couple of rounds of it, actually.
Posted on 3/19/23 at 1:44 pm to LAS
I would have mentioned the Tigerland area

Government is way better than it was 5 years ago. I think north of LSU will happen next.
Posted on 3/19/23 at 1:54 pm to LAS
Mohican Crossover area is an untapped gem.
Posted on 3/19/23 at 1:55 pm to ColdDuck
Yeah.. government to North is way improved. Now, if it could just solidify to Florida, that would be super.

No, 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?
