Why Are People Leaving Louisiana, Is It Really that BAD?

[@purplesprigs]

Louisiana's population has been declining since 2016, with a total loss of more than 107,000 people. Yikes.

[@christianwolf68]

there are only two kind of people in Louisiana, those that are too stuck to move, or too poor to leave. the first 3 things mentioned can be taken with you where every you go. you don't need to stay in one place all your life to have those things.

Thank you for watching.

[@replysoon3216]

I’m both. I’m too stuck and also a little too poor to leave.

What about insurance costs?

[@sharondallalioRealtor]

We do have high insurance cost, but many other states do as well. Thank you for watching@

[@DonaldDuck-tr3jy]

insurance rates are sky high, auto and housing. The housing took a hit 2 years ago as even if you never made a claim, you end up paying for all the hurricanes across Texas, louisiana, and the rest of the coast. our insurance went up 700 this year for nothing. no explantion.

Wow! Never mentioned the west side at all.

The only good thing about Louisiana, is if a civil war breaks out, or an emp hits. Your chances are better if you live outside the city in the country or bayous. If you know how to fish and hunt, you will always have food. And unless you were born in the swamps, nobody going to find you. Lets just say, unfamiliar outsiders will end up being gator food.

When I was a little, my mother moved us out to New Orleans from the West back in the early 70's after my parents divorce. I was only there for a couple of years till my mother's death; but I must say that I'm grateful to have experienced the wonderful food and hospitable people in my early life. All that New Orleans was, the good, the bad, the ugly...and the beautiful! But I'm a Western gal and always will be, I suppose. But I think about NOLA sometimes because that's where my mother's remains are...

Thank you for watching!

[@DonaldDuck-tr3jy]

well, the food is good, the city has gone to hell with the soaring crime rates.
