I have a question that has never been answered - what neighborhood was ever improved by the noirs? We can name hundreds of neighborhoods ruined but none improved - so I applaud these people for succeeding in trying to make THEIR neighborhood safe and clean - we should all be able to do this -

I don’t think anyone thinks that St George is going to magically turn into a utopia. This movement in my opinion is to stop the downward spiral in the area and install a leadership that can be held accountable.

I’d agree.
I grew up in StG and had to move because you either can have a mortgage or educate your kids. And I can’t take out loans on a private school education in a pinch.
If StG had schools which weren’t a shithole, I would probably be living in the same neighborhood as other members of my family, which would have made my life much simpler with regards to travel.
My kids like it where I am but they would sure love to spend more time with my family if they could.

Awww look, the little xe/xer/xem's feelings got hurt so they made an account to say racist things.
You can thank white people for even being able to sign up on this website and be racist, let alone enjoy the luxuries of western civilization. I make the world go around with my endeavors and bring value to society: I assure you, little Karl Marx, that the people I employ and bring services to would beg to differ with
People don't care anymore.
The boy cried wolf too many times.
And it's unfortunate that the actual racists (like you) will be able to fly under the radar now, but that's no one's fault but you and yours.
It's okay to be white in America again, snowflake.

Access to white people and their money isn't a right.

Anyone here saying it is going to be a utopia is mostly doing so tongue -in-cheek. No one realistically thinks it's going to immediately become a "utopia". However, with the trajectory of the city of Baton Rouge pointed down why wouldn't people who live outside of the city limits (but still within the parish) want to try a different approach? If it doesn't work out as well as hoped, so what? The status quo isn't great.
Best case scenario, St. George becomes something akin to some of the suburbs in Jefferson Co. Alabama. (like Mountain Brook, Homewood, Vestavia Hills), etc. Birmingham is still in the county, but each of those smaller cities have their own school districts. The cities aren't completely tethered to Birmingham like the St. George area has been to the city of BR. Are those cites perfect? No. But the families living there are happy they have the option to send their kids to public school.
A good public school system is attractive to families. And with middle-class to upper-middle class families come businesses. With that comes more money...and (presumably) higher tax revenue...that can be spent INSIDE the city rather than siphoned off to an adjacent city. 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.

Anyone with "wealth" in St. George doesn't give a shite about the public schools.

I live next to Broadmoor High and I pay property taxes.
Not getting too much in return for those tax payments though.
Broadmoor Middle School has sat empty and unused for the last 5 years or more.
Driving on Sharp Rd. at night can be more dangerous than necessary with open ditches ,no shoulders and very poor striping (edit. the striping has just been redone after 20 years.).
I sense that our tax revenue is being squandered.
We have too many fancy parks and too many palatial libraries where few people actually checkout a book.
The leadership purposely ignores the fact that at anytime we can have another flood like the Great Historic Flood of August 2016.
We need better leaders.

Oh so they just want all the St. Georges people hard earned money to waste in their system.
Got it.

Wow your just another example of the KKK alive and well down here. Heck, you don't even speak in entire sentences. Your school and parents failed you. Not your fault. Find someone to sue for your issues

The question is what is DPW doing? No one asks that. Trucks with gps on them - where are they going? Why is one always parked in front of the river center library? What is that ‘worker’ doing?

Getting GOOD articles written on the situation is hard due to a number of reasons.
The single biggest problem is that even people from the area weren’t necessarily aware of how fricky the city limits were until it affected them, mainly if you lived in the area rather than worked in the area.
The civil service holiday for the governor’s inauguration causes this issue to bubble up every 4 years, as state employees within the BR city limits get a day off while those nominally in BR but not in the incorporated area don’t.
This gets really ugly at times given that the boundaries dance around State Archives, several retirement systems, etc, between 10 and 12 on Essen.
People working in the Baton Rouge Region office of various agencies used to lose their shite when told that they didn’t get a day off because they didn’t actually work in BR.
