I grew up on Elysian Fields in the 60's-don't recall any crime. By the 70's it was getting bad. Now it's a crime ridden ghetto on the edge of the Marigny, which is a hunting ground for ferals. The West Coast/Seattle types moved in, painted houses and pretend that it's the new, funky San Francisco. They are getting carjacked and robbed daily. The blacks in N.O. really resent the 'gentrification' of their turf. The denial of reality has businesses open 24 hrs-usually with a lone(female) employee.Prime targets!

I don't know how much crime it's going to take before businesses(constantly robbed) and residents(constantly victimized) just get the hell out and let N.O.die.
