Hey, I am glad all you Yahoos out there think this is a joke, try coming to this city and live!!!!! It is no joke, and many are leaving, as they do not see any changes coming in the new future.
I live here, right now my neighborhood is pretty safe, but like the saying goes, first they came for the jews, when will we be next?????
It is a sad affair and I pray for your safety.
But it certainly is not surprising, given the leadership that gets elected down there.
Your future is your own. If the city is declining, you are free to leave.

Well, I am not particularly worried about this type of thing happening in Texas, because the honest citizens are too well -armed. Although Houston has seen an increase in violence -- mainly due to NOLA scum trying to behave the same way they did back home -- the problem should resolve itself soon, as the scum realize that Texas does not have the same "catch-and-release" policy towards criminals that NOLA does.
In fact, I suspect that is what is causing NOLA violence to spike -- the Katrina refugees that came to Houston to continue criminal careers are finding that they cannot, and are returning home. (Don't take this as a knock against the honest Katrina refugees that came to Texas to work. Those folks are finding a world of opportunity here and are doing well.)
But as for those in NOLA that are suffering? Look -- that is your back yard. You get the government you elect, and deserve the government you elect. Clean up your government, and the crime and violence will go away. If you cannot clean up your government, you have two choices: put up with the crime or leave.
NOLA got a lot of federal aid after Katrina and pissed most of it away. I am not really inclined to send any more money until I can be sure that most of it won't end up in the freezers of Louisiana politicians. Clean up the corruption. Then folks will be glad to help.
Amanda, I understand your anger and frustration, however, to call US yahoos is a bit much.
We did not re-elect one of the most incompetent Mayors the planet has ever known. We are not there to begin a recall of your incompetent Governor.
Thank you, but I will decline your kind offer to move to New Orleans. I would rather live in a cardboard box, under a bridge in the middle of Nebraska, then try to live in NOLA!
first they came for the jews, when will we be next?????
Are you comparing NO's residents to the plight of the Jews??? I certainly hope not.
Don't be a victim.....organize for change or get the heck out of NOLA!
When I say that New Orleans is a dangerous place, I am not joking. I know it to be true.
You should leave the city. It is lost. It was lost when the 'chocolate' voters re-elected Schoolbus Nagin. You might as well cut your losses and save you life.
Just a suggestion, but maybe you should leave while you can.
