Never thought I'd say this, but if I had the chance to leave NO, I would. I have a daughter turning three next month and I worry for her all the time when thinking of the future here(NO).
I love N.O. I moved because of my job, not crime or anything like that. I would love to move back but I would def have to make a lot more money due to the quality of life drop off.
And I dont have kids, so I can only imagine.
That sad part is if you took away the crime, N.O. would be top notch, untouchable. So many productive people would return and make the city even greater.
