Great video. A huge under-the-surface issue in New Orleans and a big driver of people moving away recently is the insurance crisis. A lot of insurance companies aren't writing policies on the Gulf Coast since Hurricane Ida so a ton of people got dropped and have been trouble finding new coverage. The one's that still held on have been getting 200%+ higher renewals. I know someone who 's renewal premium this year was $18k (up from $4k last year). This doesn't even take into account flood insurance.

Speaking as someone whose family has been here for over 180 years now, I would say this was a pretty fair assessment, and for the most part accurate. When New Orleans lost most of its middle class, it left a lot of very poor people, and some very wealthy ones, which skews the housing prices, etc. That, coupled with the crime, makes living expensive. I have a real love/hate relationship with this area - it can be very frustrating. I would take some issue with the recreational opportunities - the fishing in this area is world-class. Other than that, just work on your pronunciation of our local terms, etc.

Come see Chalmette. St Bernard Parish. Its great! 5 minutes from Nola. The only place that was 100% destroyed from Hurricane Katrina. They forgot about us everything mentioned at that time on the news was New Orleans but we're striving! Beautiful historic place with great ppl. Also the battlefield of the war of 1812. Come see us.

So so spot on! This production is incredible as to how it captures the simultaneous deep pros and cons with smart finesse. I have known several people who have lived here for a long time and described it the same way. The very unique detailed history and analysis are narrated with filming that captures it....yeah parts occasionally look like a typical American city but many other parts are from almost another planet...truly exotic and masterful. I am a history nut but knew only about 5-10% of what was given beforehand. Yes I have been here and yes there are enormous problems but NOLA is truly very special which I hope this excellent presentation will inspire others to see for themselves. Thank you so much!

I made a mistake on my comment saying your view of my city was bad. It was another video I was attempting to find. Yours is good! Also- if you find anyone who is interested in empty office buildings please get in touch. We do that, we also have production studios in the CBD. Thanks for not shaming our city! The other guy did, and that was wrong of him. It was wrong of me to type a comment without being sure of the source.

I grew up there, spend the first half of my life in NOLA. Have lived in Chicago and Chicagoland since. I've traveled quite a bit, too. Love it or hate it, and there are ample reasons for both, there is no more interesting city than New Orleans.
@lastshallbefirst55164 ай бұрын
When visiting, you have to see at least one of the plantations on Highway 18, by Wallace & Edgard, Louisiana. The French Quarter was where the largest slave auction in America was located. 1811 was the biggest slave revolt in history. America and her capitalism, destroyed a great city with the most unique culture in the country.

As someone born and raised in New Orleans and currently living in Las Vegas, I'll just say this...when moving to Las Vegas lessens your daily interaction with political corruption, violent crime and ongoing daily infrastructure issues...that's a MAJOR red flag! New Orleans has become the alcoholic floozy at the end of the bar. The one that always looks disheveled and whose best days were decades ago but sits there mumbling to herself and anyone who will listen that "she's still got it." The last two Mayors of Las Vegas are a former mob lawyer, followed by his wife...and folks HERE laugh at how inept, corrupt and flat out ignorant that city leaders of New Orleans are. ETA: is 24:41 a joke that I'm missing? I mean, D-Day was Doomsday for many people but still...

Ok so people shitting on the city, even this dry mono tone sounding poster. There are beautiful things about this city that you don’t know. There’s great places to live in the greater New Orleans area. Not just down town New Orleans. There’s PLENTY to do entertainment wise. Even family friendly! Sorry, but shitting on my hometown and then saying things like “oh well I hope you don’t hate me after this video” and you never f*cking lived here, then you have no idea what you’re talking about. There is WAY more to south east Louisiana and it’s way of life then you know. Believe me, we’re 10x the city that places like LA and San Francisco are! Maybe actually get to know it some before using your “KZbin influencer degree” and dumping all over it with just google stats. 🤷🏻♂️
