None of the Cities in the U S are like they once were. No excuses but N O suffered a double blow from Katrina. Those who could afford to moved across the lake and commute in to work. Many companies left town and have no plans to return. All of this had a big impact on taxes to run the city.
Those who stayed tend to be poor, less educated, and marginally employed if at all. Unfortunately the prognosis for the city is not good. It really was a lovely city with a interesting history. The food is still outstanding. Recent removal of statues have left intersections with no interest other than people hanging out. For the life of me I can't understand why a statue of Andrew Jackson must be banned when we have schools streets and other things named Malcolm X all over the U S. and nobody sees a problem with that.
