Talk to ANYONE who has tried to recruit out of state employees with families to Baton Rouge. It's not that easy when you have to acknowledge they either have to live outside of the parish or send their kids to private schools.

This is very much a real issue that I’ve seen firsthand. I’ve seen people turn down significant promotions that would have required a move to BR, because the COL here is actually much higher than it looks on paper when you realize the public schools are shite.

Contractors in my office tell anyone moving here with a family to either prep for private school or to buy in Zachary, Central, Ascension, Livingston, etc.

The ones from around here originally know this and are willing to put up with it because of proximity to family.

Ones not from around here tend not to stay if they have kids or expect to have kids.
