They are the hope for the rest of Nola. If we could get the criminals and homeless to all end up in the east somehow, then convince them to become their own city like they already have talked about. Then the rest of Nola could just forget about that trash

You are always going to have some crime in the city. But the majority of the bad stuff is being confined to the East and to a lesser extent in central city off La Salle, but that area is starting to get gentrified and on the West Bank, just about all of Algiers is going to shite.

Unfortunatly, the evolution of the East sort of proves you right. Back in the late 1970's and through the late 1980's the East was still a pretty good place to live in, but then the council redrew the districts and coupled the East with the Lower 9 and Desire and the local councilman , Johnny Jackson and two state senators, ( Sherman Copelin and Jon Johnson) ended up ruling hat area like their own little kingdom, emptied out desire into the apartments along the interstate and transferred the Ghetto and the bulk of the crime to the East.

By the mid 1990's there was something like two or three grocery stores out there, no decent dining, the Plaza Mall was nothing but baby clothes, and shoe stores, the anchor stores had high tailed it( The Dillards out there had the highest "shrinkage rate" of the whole chain). According to an old politico, I knew, this was always the design for the East
