NOLA City Hall Renovation / Relocation
Posted on 11/10/26 at 9:18 am

Why are so many leaders in NOLA tone deaf? Given the budget issues the city is going through, how can they even consider discussing $170MM to renovate or $220MM to rebuild City Hall? They've cut services, 14% of the work staff, property tax millage increases...
At this point, criticizing NOLA leadership is a sport.

Because it’s for them.

Since you hit that one on the head, let's keep going.
Have these people no shame? No sense of right vs wrong? You just cut a bunch of services, sent workers to the curb, and raised taxes...so they think "let's spend even more money" is a good idea?
Yeah, I know, all more or less rhetorical questions that really can't / won't be answered. I'm just pissed that no one in all of City Hall won't stand up and say maybe this isn't the right time. And these are the people that are expected to lead...this city will never be what it once was.
Call in the B-29's and bulldozers. This place is cursed.

A friend’s father was a long time employee of a NOLA department. He retired and after a couple of months the DEI department head called him and begged him to come back on a consultant basis. So he did, working a couple days a week.
His take is that 90% of that department employees are dumb as a box of rocks, and are there because if DEI and political connections.His solution is that everyone in city government should be fired, city hall demolished, and start over from scratch.

Have you spend any time in CH or CDC
They both should be condemned. They are absolutely horrific buildings that need to come down
But NOLA is fricked whatever they do, they don't have the money to leave and they can't stay in those buildings

Kinda what I was driving at, the leadership has been derelict for so long, they've put themselves in a no win position. I guess I'm just angry that a once world class city is now a shithole, with an extremely narrow path forward that no one in NOLA has proven they can navigate.

There's always one-time money if those in power want something badly enough.

The current city hall looks like something from out of the Soviet Union, which suits recent "leaders" of New Orleans. They should stay in it, as-is.

Because they can't fire anyone. In order to fire an employee, they need to have bad employee reviews and have worked through a POP first. They don't give out negative reviews; they simply reassign them to a different department when they are tired of dealing with that person.

This should not be a surprise.
At City Hall, the people who are elected were put there by the people of NOLA.
The people who were hired, not elected, are largely also the people of NOLA who couldn’t get better jobs.
