Dubya sure didn't seem to mind what with his "spend whatever it takes" approach to NO.
It was a $#*+hole 200 years ago, it was a $#*+hole before Katrina and it’ll be a $#*+hole 100 years from now. It’s Detroit with Jazz music and some French decorations.
Absolutely positively without doubt or argument NO is a dump and have never for the life of me understood why anyone would think it a place to choose to go. It is a royal $#*+hole.
I only go there when I have to on business and get out just as fast as I possibly can.
Filthy, seedy, moldy, greasy, dangerous... Convention there? Why?

I remember one New Year’s Eve down on Bourbon Street when I was a student. Found a good bar serving hurricanes that would let my friends and I stand outside, buy drinks, and use the loo. I’ll never forget the scene as thousands paraded, shoulder to shoulder, through the street. It was like watching people enter the gates of hell. And, no, I’m not kidding. It really left an impression on me that was not pleasant.
And the Westbank is getting just as bad. The Westbank USED to be fairly safe, working class families, now it’s almost as dangerous (I hear from friends stuck there) as downtown.
All those “Obama Sons and Daughters” who came back after Katrina had to have SOMEWHERE to live, and the end of the Westbank began.
