I dont know either. If I could get my entire group of friends and family to leave.. theres approx. 0 reasons to live here.. but then again may be a grass is greener situation.

Louisiana has some positives but 'beautiful' isn't one of them..... the amount of trash everywhere has completely ruined that.... I imagine a couple hundred years ago the place was amazing though with natural beauty and bayous

Why live in Louisiana?


Family?
Job?
Spouse?

I don't live in Louisiana anymore and have no real desire to. However, I'm not going to berate others that simply choose to.

It is so shallow and ridiculous but honestly hate for the Dallas Cowboys is high on the list of reasons I wouldn't want to live in Dallas.

Try dealing with Patriots fans. They're somehow more obnoxious, and they have the pedigree to back up their hubris. Annoying as hell.

Unless you are moving to a place like California, Hawaii, Alaska, Florida, or NYC then all the other states are a wash. Just very plain. Might as well stay in Louisiana and be closer to family.

His argument is that you're not only living in Texas or New Orleans while your kid is in school. So, for the 12 year period that your kid is in school Texas may be cheaper, but if you include the 5 years prior to school, or any time period after your kid graduates, Texas will likely come out behind in total cost.

Yes I conceded that using my own statistics I provided. I was arguing the 12 year cost. At that point one could consider moving to a non ISD system and drop their property tax down closer to the average.

I mean I was trying to keep the argument simple. When you start talking about overall factors in cost we have to pull in multiple things including insurance cost, sales tax, gas, etc..

However, yes to live in a Affluent Dallas suburb will cost you more.

That is a ridiculous statement, Louisiana is a certified shithole by any parameter you want to measure compared to 48 of the other 49 states.

Like in WA State, CO, CA, OR, NM, WI, UT, etc. where depending on the season, you can go out and ski, white water kayak, rock climb, day hike or backpack, enjoy expansive bike lanes and trails where people respect cyclist.

Then stay the hell out. We don't want you living here. Root for teams in your current state you live in. Get the hell off the Louisiana State message board.
