The only thing that really concerns me is the brazen crimes.

Like robbing four people basically walking out of commanders. Or shooting someone on the interstate for no reason.

Another Hurricane with a Katrina type result will absolutely ruin any hope of New Orleans turning around. Post Katrina it truly was amazing the hope and resilience people showed. People truly believed they could make the city a better place and Katrina was an opportunity to start fresh.


And they did this all in spite of, not because of, the leadership in charge of the city.

Being one of the only white guys to have drummed in the Super Sunday parade, I'm very aware. I've just spent too much time in normal America.

Typically speaking home values are not a good indicator of things to come. In fact they're among the last things to go before a big downturn. It's always looking back not forward.

Same here, bought a place in River Ridge 7 months ago. I've only seen one crime in our neighborhood, which was in March when a NOPD recruit beat up his wife/gf

There was 100-150k more residents in 1990(depending on which data set you look at

So, 1990 345/500,000 is 1 murder for every 1,449 residents

2017 trending at 225-250ish(the summer months have the higher murder numbers, it is linear like yall are trending it) 225/390,000 is 1 murder for every 1,733 residents.


So we are getting back to the 90s level bloodbath

What were the contributing factors to the decrease in crime of late 90's compared with the early to mid 90's?

Of the various social experiments touted by the Progressives, this was no doubt the most idiotic. I don't care how "Progressive" you are, NO ONE wants to live in the ghetto.


The entire idea is based on a false premise. The progs believe the urban poors only act like animals because they live in a shitty situation.

Sorry but that behavior is ingrained in them. You can't break the cycle with new paint. You could move the hood to the most expensive block on St. Charles. They would turn it into a war zone in months.

Thank you for extrapolating those data sets to prove to some of the fricktard NOLA apologists that shite is going nuts down there.

I personally think NOLA in those times started fudging the numbers as the media started to get a hold of the danger NOLA was and tourism could potentially get hurt.....

Shitty mayoral candidates with zero problems in line to be fixed. There is nothing to fight for anymore.


This one is worse than Nagin IMO. Landrieu is just preening and posing for a higher office and letting everything fall apart there.

I flew in for 2 weeks last December on vacation. I stood in NOLA long enough to watch the Saints/Detriot game and a Pelicans game. I stood the rest of my time in Houma. YES frickING HOUMA. I had a better time on the bayou than I did looking at blight and pure shite.
Haha, what a joke

Stay in Dallas & stay out of New Orleans threads.

A program called NOLA for Life and a thing that was called call-ins. That has stopped and violent crime stats have increased
