They’re not going to have a choice eventually

EBR might as well give the crooked developers their own rubber stamps to save time. EVERYTHING gets approved. There are two mud pits right now on Highland between Bluebonnet and Gardere, there is no way they will develop those without violating the no net fill rules, all it takes us bribing a few low level bureaucrats, pass it past the inept idiots on the Metro Council who DGAF if they can’t make a racial issue out of it, and an entire administration that hopes St. George floats away.
We will see how far he gets, the AP Parish President tried to take a pause on growth and the Parish Council stripped his power to do so. Gotta love this banana republic we live in.

I agree, but that’s not now. My guess is there will be some redistricting first (soon).
As for a school in Madisonville, 5 years to plan 10 years to implement.

Say what you want. The dude runs his school how he wants. He doesn't have to cave to stupid shite and can teach what he wants. No crt, not even a question...
But it is just a school. It's not the end all be all. Kids can get a good education at any school over here as long as the parents are involved.

They still do that. When a real estate agent tells you nothing will be built behind the house she is listing because it's designated wet lands, don't believe a fricking word she said.

We'll see if they actually agree to a moratorium.
I'll bet No. In the meantime I'll continue my exit plan. While I moved from Covington to Mandeville, I'm getting random offers of 100k more than what I paid in 2020. Hopefully it'll be worth a lot when I eventually frick off outta here and buy a ranch in BFE

Dude is horrible. Looks straight out of the damn 80s and one of the worst developer/land rapers. Sterling properties is awful too. It’s so fricking bad, I’m generally politically conservative but sound like a tree hugger because things are so out of whack.

move and build further and further and further north…. Obviously not south, since they’d be in the lake.. and not east b/c who wants to live in lacombe.. but north and into Bush, Sun,
More areas that don’t have the infrastructure to support large population increases.

The state is losing population, and we have a parish trying to slow growth????
Are you really this dumb? It’s destabilizing to add more people than the infrastructure of an area can support.
And we’ve been way past that, at least in certain areas, for years.
I live in Mandeville, In the evenings from about 4-7 pm the entire area from Madisonville north into Covington, Target area, etc is essentially closed off due to parking lot traffic heading west on Hwy 22 into Madisonville. How dysfunctional is that??

I guess this nixes any plans to develop Prestress.

There seems to be a popular misconception amongst the natives that all they have to do is start the moratorium and that will make the traffic problem go away. Right...

I was looking at that little area just west of LA59 and north of Florida on Google Maps the other day... WTF. Dollar General, Taco Bell, McDonald's. What a fricking planning failure and wart on Mandeville.

ETA and a damn laundromat and urgent care.

Compare it against that little area up lamey bridge road in nort Biloxi. Last three or four years they have been putting in four lanes adjacent to 603 which is already four lanes along with traffic circles and underground utilities. Then they opened it up for developers to build and start communities. They even built the new high school up there prior to giving out permits.

quote:this is easily the biggest traffic issue out of anything going on in the mandeville/Covington/Madisonville area. The $100 million + they are spending to widen I12 wouldn’t even be needed if they spent a fraction of that to put connecting feeder highways from 21 to 190. I’d venture to say 50% of the cars on I12 in the area are people going from 1077 to 21 to 190. Local traffic was never meant to use the interstate as a primary route
The other problem is the lack of east-west routes crossing the river. I-12, 190 Bogue Falaya bridge and the Hwy 22 bridge in Madisonville are the only routes across and the traffic is horrible at all of them

The goal is to limit high density housing (small lots / apartments and condos).
Ask for the moon (1 acre lots), negotiate to something more manageable (half an acre lots). I personally hope that he gets what he is asking for.
