NOLA crime….

Considering 'all of the above' inflation, poor infrastructure, understaffed law enforcement agencies, and under budgeted social programs, the outlook for Nola is not good. They are losing corporations and projects to the Northshore and Texas left and right. The city needs to realign it's identity to their strengths, including electing people much more experienced with those strengths.
They should elect a hotel manager and a party planner????

Change starts at the individual, can the schools/local economy be better? Sure, but having a better school system doesn't automatically churn out better people, you can still be a shifty person with a decent job....you have to want to be better...right now all I see is a bunch of people who ain't s who don't care that they ain't s so they ain't trying to be s.

Sorry for sounding self righteous but blaming the environment for one's failure to me is a cop out...I know people who grew up without much...but they had drive to succeed and they made it out of where they're from: CTC, Treme, Uptown, 7th Ward/St Bernard....the ones that got left behind, I kinda could've called it way back then.
