New Orleans has had a crime problem since Napoleon.
New Orleans has had a homeless problem since Reconstruction.
What am I missing?

Having grown up in South Louisiana I have spent a lot of time in New Orleans. I lived there for several years. I still love it, and do enjoy visiting.
Perhaps it is because I was younger then, but during the 90s/early 2000s it did not seem to be as off the rails as it is currently. The infrastructure, the crime and the poverty seem rampant to me. There’s a tent city under the interstate in downtown NOLA, that I don’t recall being there till recently, for example.
What do y’all consider the cause? And more significantly, is there a solution?
New Orleans is fricked up but it was not better in the 90s/2000s. That much is true.

Crime was much worse in the 90's.
I think Nola is better now than it's been in the past 40 years. Still a shite load of problems though.

We call it "MITCHVILLE". Urban decay on display. Mitch Landrieu removed Gen. Lee so Lee wouldn't begin to weep for what the South had become.

I live in lakeview and me and my family are really happy. Don’t understand this board’s obsession with hating New Orleans. I mean I don’t run around telling everyone it’s the greatest place ever but it’s a fine place to live if you can afford one of the nicer parts of town.

Nice troll. Any sentient being walking down the street with eyes open, can see this is the result most of us have been predicting for decades. You are seeing these wise predictions come to fruition. Chicago, here you come. Enjoy witnessing the ruination of a beautiful city and culture gone to shite. Yo see, the Emperor has no clothes.

The infrastructure
Politicians stealing money but still providing services can only happen by taking the maintenance money and screwing the next generation. Orleans politicians (all Dims) are world leaders of this. Sewerage, drinking water, gas, electricity, and drainage are hidden. Just imagine they are in as bad of shape as the pot hole filled streets. They are.

the crime
Crime has been as New Orleans as shrimp creole since the 1970s.

Poverty is necessary to run the liberal plantation. But for organized tent cities thank the last mayor.
'Occupy Wall Street' protest comes to New Orleans: Links and poll
Posted October 6, 2011 at 9:30 AM
By Times-Picayune Staff
A group of protesters calling themselves "Occupy New Orleans" will march across the city today before setting up an "encampment" at Duncan Plaza across from City Hall where some say they plan to live for months.
Mitch the Bitch even gave them “free” electricity! Now he’s being touted for president in 2020!

This. Most people that post hate on new orleans either domt live in the city (suburbs) or dont live in one of the nicer areas. It damn sure isn't perfect but I love living in the LGD.

Crime and murders especially are actually down from what it was in the 90s

You just were not looking. I would say that the New Orleans area is very much the same today as it was in the period that you referenced.
In the early 1990's NOLA was winning the battle for most murders per capita of larger cities I think a few times it crossed the 400 mark. The tent cities were there....not quite as great as they are today, but back then rents were cheaper.
I think the climate leads to a lot of transients just staying put once they get there. Plus the NOLA area is not the best in terms of job growth whether it be for minimum wage or entry level. The influx of hipsters into the city post Katrina has not helped the rent situtation as more and more areas become gentrified and rents and values go up

Mitchell Joseph Landrieu:
son of Maurice Edwin "Moon" Landrieu,
sister of Mary Loretta Landrieu,
Member of State Legislature 1998-2004
Louisiana Lt. Governor 2004-2010
Mayor of New Orleans 2010-2018
This is a valid cause as well

Election of conservative leadership and rebuilding of the massive impoverished and uneducated communities that both Mitchell and Latoya ignore and further bastardize for their own selfish political gain

That's what I think about Mexico, too.
