I would argue that the growth in Lake Charles from LNG boom currently makes LC as important to LA as NOLA and that's in a city with 1/4th the population If not for the hurricanes a few years back, LC would be leading in population growth too while people flee NOLA

Besides, that tax revenue comes largely from the port and would be there regardless of NOLA. If NOLA failed and/or was wiped out by a hurricane, the port would be back in operation no matter what
Yeah with what work force bozo?
Y’all are either intellectually dishonest or at least moderately retarded. New Orleans is the biggest economic engine in this state without a doubt. Which Louisiana city is bringing in major events? Bossier? Shreveport? Lafayette? BR? Lake Charles? Yall can’t actually believe that New Orleans isn’t single-handedly the biggest draw to this state bar none. We’d be thought of as Mississippi/Arkansas without it. Take a look at the hotel occupancy tax and tell me if the it’s the city or state that’s making out on top.

I wouldn't call basically declaring war on the parish that supplies a significant amount of tax revenue for the state "reasonable."
Look up NOLA's hotel occupancy rates, they are shite.
tax revenue comes from heavy industry.
As someone born and raised in NOLA, it's time for that city to get in line.... period.

What specifically are you talking about? What way does New Orleans want to operate differently from Louisiana?
FFS, you are blinded by your emotional state.
I was referring to the quote from Landry that you posted in the OP.
Asking me to provide details about what I'm talking about is nonsensical. You made a post complaining about Landry's quote and now are confused about the meaning of the same quote?

Right
You don’t have to like New Orleans or anything about it to realize this is the truth. We’re Mississipppi without New Orleans. Posted on 7/15/26 at 11:24 am to back9Tiger

Can you tell me the property tax rates for heavy industry?

He sounds petty and jealous. "New Orleans has been named one of the most irreplaceable places in the country, landing on a new national preservation list that recognizes historic sites considered essential to the American story." New Orleans was the only city on the whole list. New Orleans is far from perfect, but that's part of our charm...probably.
You should have put the Tennessee Williams quote.

Outside of summer, rates exceed national averages throughout the rest of the year.

What does this mean? What are you mad at New Orleans for doing or not doing?

This arse clown is the perfect governor for Louisiana. He's just as fukin stupid as the rest of the country thinks Louisiana people are. Get him a pair of white rubber boots to complete the image of Back Bayou Bobby Boucher and his cooyon illiterate arse.

Oh look, another 4cubbies ice cold take.
Yes, we know, here you are NOT seeking attention on social media.
What an irritating, disingenuous cvnt.

New Orleans does not control the state, and they shouldn't.
ETA: They have no power.
The problem lies in the fact that New Orleans is still salty about the capital moving to Baton Rouge.
Think of it like the special Olympics version of NY City / NY State.

quote:48 of the 64 parishes in Louisiana have declined. NOLA will outlast every parish in the state, so instead of wishing it goes away, wish Louisiana gets it’s shite together so it would prosper. We chase business and industry out of the state.
New Orleans is now the 59th largest metropolitan area in the nation in the same neighborhood of Bakersfield, CA or McAllen, TX. In other words, almost completely irrelevant. Having lost over 36k residents just since 2020, its well on its way to being gone by the next century, as it should be.
