That would be incorrect. The incident on Bourbon being the most recent and prominent example. The state of the roads, the mayor, education and on and on. Even compared to Jefferson Parish it's sheet show. I spent 20 years living in other cities in Cali, Nevada and New Mexico. The only place that comes close was Tucson.
I was a born and raised New Orleans and I love the city but I can see it for what it is and it makes me sad. New Orleans is my home and my whole family lives in this area.
