HOODS OF SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA

[@christopherwebb8345]

One of our main problems is that if you do a little research, you will find that 75% of the land in Shreveport ( rather it's commercial or residential) is owned by people who either stay out of the state or companies who only care about getting the next check. As long as they put money in the pockets of the Parish board and the city council, they don't have to worry about doing any general maintenance on their properties

[@rc-yi8ry]

Get rid of the old Democrats and fire the right people. Shit ain't never going to change if we keep getting Democrats in office. The party of the KKK don't care about you or me. I've lived in Shreveport for 50 years.

[@Danny........]

Tons of people that own land here are from here but live in California or Chicago or some place off. We had a dear lease once and the lady that owned it came in and basically called the law and had us kicked out. We were keeping up the land and making sure the road in and out was right. She left back to California and she hasn't been back to it since 07. When she did this they had just put a new oil well in and we built the fence around it.

[@thegodblogger3812]

The bigger problem is that technology has eroded industrial-based jobs in S'port as it has all over the nation and the world. If folks are not technology-trained they are left behind in obsolete skills. It's a whole new world from even 30 years ago.

[@CatherineLeighe]

This is like Vegas in many ways. So many hotel rooms with three new huge being built & we have no water. It is insane the way city council approves anything that brings dollar signs to their eyes. The landscape in Shreveport is gorgeous. There is a military base with hospital, so lots of retired military here.

[@DD-ok1md]

@christopherwebb8345 Big problem in many cities is huge development companies push and push people to sell their homes and plots. Often, these are rental properties so residents become displaced. Then, they demolish all structures and rebuild land with outrageously expensive modern housing buildings, which take up almost every inch of the land. No more grass. No more trees. No more affordable housing. Gentrification at it's finest. Third Ward Houston my hometown hood, and it's not even recognizable any more.

Okay to add to your commenters where you see empty lots where they're on the corner or anywhere on any of the blocks of the neighborhoods you're driving through houses used to stand there and the ones that I remain still are for rent not for sale just like the houses that used to be there that aren't there's no rent to own there was only rental properties that's why they all run down. Honors would do the minimal in black neighborhoods they wouldn't sell us the property just rent it and when it rotted away fell apart. No one but the most desperate would move into them. Owner's children like most of us in the US locate 50 miles away from the road wherever we originally lived and took no part in this particular inheritance. Buildings were declare it unsafe torn down by the city and Bill to the owners which meeting still haven't paid. You drive through what was once a thriving black community but because of renting it's a ghost town!
