San Fran, New York, Seattle, Denver, New York, Austin, Miami...I would call those "liberal paradise"

Personally, I love the MS river cities...New Orleans, Memphis, and St Louis are a lot of fun.

So your liberal paradises are those that out-price the common-man out of town so they're no longer your problem? That's what Manhattan did, that's what San Fran did. The Miami area also has vast areas of plain destitution.

New Orleans is very cheap and middle class friendly. Shrug

I was specifically talking about the first list. With all due respect, I've never had enough interest in New Orleans to comment on it. I went there because of work and I wasn't particularly impressed or disappointed by it. It seems like an average place. I've also been to Memphis and, while it certainly has its nice parts, some of it seems like a third world country.

Bigger cities have a lot of problems. The murders of New Orleans are highly concentrated to certain areas. Uptown, mid city, Fountainbleau, Broadmoor, the Garden District, lake areas, CBD, French Quarter, Marigny, even the Bywater now. I'll fairly safe and wonderful. And the culture is incomparable.


New Orleans is life saturated. You clearly like rural Louisiana so I take your opinion with a grain o salt.

I do prefer the country over the city, but it baffles me that you say it's no big deal to have the highest murder rate in America.

Nothing to brag about to be sure but a lot of things go into my opinion of a city. Crime is only one of them. Been here 7+ years and never had a single problem. Knock on wood.

I'm not going to cherry pick one issue and have it be some sole condemnatory stat on a diverse populace.

N.O. is very blue, I think you put aside the bad to live inside the area which you feel you belong. Personally, crime and school would be my first two things I look at before moving to a new town. There ARE some things you need to cherry pick before making such a big decision. And just because you have been fortunate so far, doesn't mean you'll go on being fortunate. I'll bet it's not just gang bangers and drug dealers being gunned down, plenty of innocent lives out there faced their final judgement just for walking in the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm not saying you're stupid, but I'm not stupid enough to risk living in an area like that.

Edit: I wouldn't move to a blue area because I would rather be around people that I feel comfortable around.
