The state needs to take control. If legislation is needed, pass it. Not that state government is great mind you. But the idiot grifters in New Orleans need to be sidelined.

People are blaming white flight but the truth is that New Orleans is whiter than it’s been for decades and trending whiter. The problem lies in the HUNDREDS of NGOs, special orgs., etc receiving money year after year. Also when you pay S&WB past presidents $200,000.00 retirement for life (5) right now and Audubon heads getting $750,000 to manage animals etc etc etc. need to cut all that out and start over.

A few more traffic cameras and a shake down of the idiotic uptown liberals will fix that.

For as much as NOLA is derided for being a shite hole (and rightfully so in most regards), it's also one of the few things worth a shite about the entire state.

Funny how this comes out after Landry/Bond Commission agreed to not take over City finances.

New Orleans' decline started before Moon Landrieu, but he helped it along. The city's population by decade has fallen from:

1960 627,525 (62% white, 38% black)
1970 593,471
1980 557,515
1990 496,938
2000 484,000 (28% white, 67% black, 3% hispanic)
2010 343,829 (33% white, 60% black, 4% hispanic)
2020 383,997 (32% white, 54% black, 6% hispanic, 3% asian)
Now 357,767 (31% white, 55% black, 8% hispanic, 3% asian)

If you are going to blame New Orleans' downfall on white flight, then you ought to examine the reasons for white flight. People want a better life, so they move if they perceive a better life across the parish line or across the lake. If they can move and have fewer hands in their pockets, why shouldn't they? Again, it's the same across the country, liberal Democratic policies reduce economic and personal freedom and people take notice. And once you become a sh*thole, and rely on digging in other's pockets, it is almost impossible to reverse course.

Just raise taxes. And then raise them again. And then raise them again.

Remember - NOLA voted for this. This is what your city wants.

The important thing is that they scrubbed the city any southern culture and removed the statues of Lee.

It's so nauseating to see you enter a thread chewing your bile and vomiting your liberal opinion all over the place. But go ahead and keep digging your grave and the graves of your cubbies. You will be gone with the wind soon enough.

Liberal trash.

Every Democrat City or State runs a deficit, then the politicians throw their hands up and say "so what".

It's Trumps fault

You have an electorate of Black citizens who will only vote for other Black politicians no matter if they are sane or qualified & a combination of White Lexus liberals/academia types along with young White liberal transplants who live in Uptown/Mid City/Marigny/Lakeview who all live by the phrase Vote Blue No Matter Who. No true fiscal conservative will even run in the city. It’s a waste of time & money. This isn’t going to end well.

But don't worry Helena the Grifter who has been on City Council for years and was tasked with overseeing this stuff is suddenly going to clean it all up.



She can't claim she didnt know what was going on, she had a front row seat to the corruption show for years.

Maybe now she wants a bigger piece or maybe she thinks there might be a problem looming from the current administration that she will have to deal with.. might be harder to maintain the grift as alot of eyes on NOLA right now (La AG & DOJ) so she's playing the savior role
