I should also mention that S. Louisiana is made of peoples who were kicked out of Canada and basically had no where else to go because no one would take them. So that might have a little to do with why we don't move.

People lived in New Orleans because of its sense of history, its musical culture, the friendly people, the beautiful oak trees, the River, the architecture, its european flavor, its delish food, its people's love of good times, and sense of community.

This is a unprecedented disaster this is for the country and for the millions of people with connections to that city.


i enjoyed my time in NO - a really interesting place. i also met my wife there so it will always hold special memories. However, the level of poverty there was very disturbuing, especially for someone like me who was not used to seeing stuff like this in this country. the french quarter and garden district is nice - but outside of that - its like a third world country.

There is other nice places but there is alot of truth there. It has alot to do with the ending of slavery.

Obviously DC doesn't have the history and culture that many cities have.

But to say no one is from here and it is like an amusment park ride shows your ignorance. It's one of the fastest growing places right now and it's got tons of things to do. I certaintly don't have much to complain about.

I've grown up outside DC, have been coming here for years and years, and it has some of the most diverse and forward-thinking people anywhere.

Not to mention a lot less superficiality and egos you find in many other cities, including NY, Miami, and LA.

I've lived in NY, spent time in almost every other major city in the US, and I don't think many cities compare to DC, especially now that its one of the only cities not hit by the job loss other cities have been hit with. People are very happy here and love to live here,

So stop by sometime, you'll definitely see how wrong you really are.


Hey asshole, I live right down the road from DC. Maybe you could do a little bit of investigative reporting before you post, shitbird.

Besides, take away the federal govt. and DC is a fucking cow town. The people who come here are attracted to the power, which in turn is converted into money. To also save you the time invested in the search function, I also reveal I'm one of the bigger capitalist pigs on this fucking board.

DC has two distinct sides: Polished and shallow [See: downtown, Adams Morgan, Georgetown] or crumbling in disrepair [Drive down Rhode Island Ave. from College Park; New York Avenue before the 395 exit, or any of SE]. Maybe you are right. Maybe DC is forward thinking. But a quick drive down Minnesota Ave SE or Southern Blvd in SE will clearly show that no matter how forward thinking they are, they sure as hell aren't very forward acting.

Which is why even if people wanted to move, they probably could not afford to. I don't know much about the demographics, but it seems like a lot of people struggle to make ends meet in NO.

The welfare system has failed miserably. It perpetuates poverty.

Ha. I think all grammer rules have been suspended in Black Atlantis so you should get a pass.
