Such a shame. It was a nice place to live. I agree with what others say about the city, the response to Katrina absolutely ruined the character of the city, and it didn't help with Mayor Nagin calling New Orleans a "chocolate city", showing exactly what his priorities were.
Looking at the previous mayors of New Orleans, I was surprised to learn that some of them were consider black because of the "one drop" rule. They certainly believed that to be the case.

Maurice Landrieu was the last White mayor until his Mitch became mayor more than 35 years later. Both Morials and Barthelemy were light skinned blacks. I think Mitch Landrieu was elected due to Nagin's botched response to the hurricane, and even the niggers living there knew they needed a White man to fix the damage Nagin caused.

There are parts of New Orleans that are just so damned beautiful like the parks, shared spaces, french quartered, and even many of the waterways. SEL in general is an amazing place to live, but just like so many other places, it’s the “people” that ruin it. Even Tulanes campus is dark as hell now. When I was there over 25 years ago, it was MAYBE 5% other. Now it’s way into the double digits from what I’m being told.

Exactly right, and by design. When I lived there, it was well understood that the the state was one giant scam and that everything in business and politics was set up to siphon off money to individuals involved in the schemes, but no one really minded as long as the common people, the ones who paid taxes and contributed to the system, were taken care of, and for the most part that worked. When the nigger population rose and overwhelmed the White population, it was still "the city that care forgot", but a city still needs people to maintain it. Niggers can't maintain anything.
What is SEL? Is that Slidell? I remember most of the civilians I worked with in the 80s commuted from either Slidell, Mandeville, or way out by Maurepas. The Hebert defense complex was located in the 9th ward, a sketchy place even in the day time, and no one left the building for any reason except when they drove in or out.

Oh, now that makes perfect sense. And I agree, I loved living there. The only thing I never got used to for the seven years I lived in the south was the humidity, having lived the dry California desert all of my life before that.
