Not sure how you fix New Orleans [MERGED]

ironically the thing that helps preserve NO culture is that the city (and especially the state) are unattractive to new money development
Hurricanes + State education (and overall hostility) will keep NO in a Catch 22 for the foreseeable future
Remember the fight between Al Copeland and the city when he opened that guady restaurant on St Charles? Straya was maybe the name of it??? The backlash he took over that. I saw both sides equally in that fight. I took my mom the Palace cafe a few months ago. She teared up walking down Canal street saying how sad this is. My mom and dad were raised uptown as were most of my family. She couldnt believe it.
