I suspect most wealthy lean left, particularly older money.

There’s more rich liberals than rich conservatives. They just put their heads down and ignore what’s going on around them to make their nut.
Then they comment on social issues and vote one way or another because “they don’t like someone” or they want to appear virtuous.
In reality, they are capitalist pigs.

Pretty much the only ones in New Orleans have their own billboards and TV ads.
It’s a rather sad place at this point.

Who is the current mayor of Covington? I've been told he posts on TD.com. I'm sure he's reading this thread … and he's not the former mayor of Covington mentioned in the Bruce Cuchiara podcast.
I fear you're conflating the two.

3. Restaurants
4. Culture
This is what keeps me in the New Orleans area, but I can enjoy these things by commuting from Jefferson Parish.

Keynesian economics favors the wealthy.
Wealthy want to protect assets and will bristle at attempts to solidify the middle class. They have the poor to fawn over.

What I am saying is that covington/Mandeville/Slidell is loaded with these McMansions where all of the houses look the same, no trees in the neighborhood, etc. Yet living there defeats the chief advantage of the NOLA metro--its compactness. Instead, you are stuck 45 minutes across the lake to get to anything, and although I have never set foot in covington/mandeville, I have been to Slidell and I imagine it's pretty similar. There's just not much there besides chain stores.
Wow. Just wow.

New Orleans is an anomaly.
If it were not for Bienville it would never had been built where it currently resides. Even the natives knew better that to build permanently there.
But people will be people and if they want to live there go for it.
There exist a strange rift with folks that live in New Orleans and those that live north of Bunkie. At one time Shreveport claimed to be a more cosmopolitan city than Baton Rouge. It had a larger population than BR, now take a look at Shreve.
New Orleans is no longer the city it was in 1959 so I am told by my older friends. Major corporations have left and Katrina was an unwelcomed guest. It seems to be on a downward spiral.
I've been all over Louisiana more than several times and most folks don't give New Orleans a thought.
My friends in north Dallas don't even consider New Orleans as a viable place to conduct business. The area from Addison north thru Frisco to the OK border is a hot growing area. New Orleans has nothing to brag about and if there was no Mardi Gras no one would talk about it.
A lot is riding on Louisiana's next governor, the first and most important is Louisiana's economic future.

I'm good friends with the mayor's wife (no pictures). There's no way she's going for that

There's a great book about this...Bienville's Dilemma
He chose the position on the river for defenses...he could easily defend the crescent by shooting up or down river

This is a sophomoric formulation, but it’s even worse when you screw it up by getting lost in your negatives.

Plus, having an actual NOLA address commands a degree of respect when talking with outsiders.
The mass formation psychosis experts need to take a look at this concept and how it got started, and yet restrained only to New Orleans.

City is full of radical progressive carpet baggers that think they were born and raised there because they moved into town after Katrina.
