industrial city with LSU and the state government.
Without these Baton Rouge would pretty much be like Donaldsonville.

Yeah even if the leadership was excellent would it even improve that much with the populace here? You can have the best coach in world but if you have bad players you still lose

I mean, a lot of Baton Rouge has already gone through significant amounts of gentrification. Spanish Town was gentrified in the late 80's and 90's.
Capital Heights was all the rage in the 2000's and early 2010's.
Currently, the area along Nicholson between LSU and downtown is being gentrified.
The problem is that for every neighborhood that gets gentrified, two formerly decent neighborhoods age out and go to crap.

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
In city Atlanta has gentrified greatly the last 15 years.

But you might be able to pull out a few upsets every once in awhile.

I agree with you, and I'm not a pessimist. The way we are headed, and the pace, between the wasteful spending and increasing entitlements, the dollar so quickly losing value, the dumbing down of society and deprioritizing education, values, work ethic, the purposeful pitting of everyone against everyone else...I'm just waiting for the collapse... not sure what happens first... food shortages, civil war, mass rioting/looting... maybe within the next 10 years. Of course I hope I'm wrong but I hope you prepare for it anyway.

Prevented from happening by Section 8 housing subsidies. Most homes in these areas are owned by people who live elsewhere and rent them to the government and tenants via section 8. The government pays a high rent free from true market forces while the tenant pays a tiny fraction of that total rent payment (<10%).
This does two things, 1. It keeps the value of these run down areas from dropping too low to be a good investment for totally new construction redevelopment and 2. It maintains a population majority of people who cannot take care of themselves and makes it an undesirable place to live.

Capitol Heights and mid city are far nicer today than 20 years ago. Tara is doing well too. Starting to see some improvements along Florida Blvd finally but it’s slow.
Broadmoor has a lot of extensive home renovations right now. That’s a solid neighborhood with largish lots and a dense tree canopy.
As far as north Baton Rouge….it’s a long ways away, if it ever happens at all. The housing stock is mostly not historically significant. A lot would have to be completely rebuilt. And nobody wants to live next door to an ever-expanding behemoth of a refinery.

Same goes for New Orleans. Bywater used to be hood but is now a militant hipster haven. Freret and Irish Channel have done complete 180s demographics wise compared to the 90s. Even historic hoods like Treme and Pigeon Town are close to half white now. Unfortunately, Algiers has gone to shite and New Orleans East might be the most dangerous area of the country.

The area between LSU/north campus and downtown has as much potential to be gentrified as anywhere I've ever seen, and I'm shocked it hasn't happened yet.
Tigerland as well.

Yeah.. government to North is way improved. Now, if it could just solidify to Florida, that would be super.
It’s starting to happen on Florida. You have Rouses going in and some of those older shopping centers are being redeveloped.
Once that’s done, I would put money on the area north of LSU over north Baton Rouge. Don’t think north Baton Rouge will ever improve.

You mean the area where all of the streets are named after presidents? Yeah...I'll pass.
