Thats why older people can't afford to stay in the house that's been paid off for years. After a certain age, you should be exempt from property taxes.
Most municipalities have property tax freezes once you get a certain age for your primary residence. This isn't a perfect solution, but still important.

re: Dort and OKC are dirty frauds

Who flops is irrelevant in this thread. This is about an intentional act to injure someone on the court. Another poster wrote this..,.
He is 100% dirty than Green. Green plays like an enforcer and takes unnecessary shots at players no doubt, but I don't recall Green ever trying to take a player out, off ball. and un-involved in a play.

Dort honestly might be dirtier than Draymond. Sure Dray might choke someone out or whatever but he’s not going after the legs of players fresh off of injury.

re: Building permit expediters/consultants

First, you may get more targeted responses moving to the H/G board.
I have a little experience with commercial development. Depending on your municipality if you have good plans, and stick to them permitting may not be that bad. Or it could be hell, I would do some research and go talk to the permit office.
Alot depends on your job and life flexibility. If you work from home/close to home and can check on things multiple times/day if needed and still get your work done, its doable.
2nd question is other life stuff like kids, family, vacation, church, etc. During the build, however long it takes, you need to be ready to miss kids sporting events, family commitments, and even move vacations to get the house built. Not showing for a sub due to a kids dance recital could cost you weeks, I've seen this happen for commercial projects.

I somewhat disagree. If you are living between Jefferson and Napoleon, don' t live more that 6 or 7 blocks off of St. Charles, going toward Claiborne. Prertty sketch once you get between Freret and Claiborne in this area.
I hear you and there is room for discussion here for sure. But I believe with the growth of Freret Street and Ochsner buying up tons of properties near baptist, there may be a few streets with crappy houses, but no bad areas on the university side of Napoleon and riverside of Claiborne. Plus Freret and Napoleon (where the new Trader Joes is going) is like 12 blocks from Loyola's campus.
There used to be some rough areas near campus between Carrolton and Broadway, but those areas have long gentrified.
quote:
Lived and Two blocks away from campus, while it’s an affluent and generally safe area, 4-5 blocks away you have hood activity.
This must have been 20+ years ago, there are no rough areas within 1/2 of Loyola's campus, if not further. There maybe a few small pockets but you have to go past Carrollton, almost to Leonidis upriver to find truly bad areas, past Erhart going towards the lake, or down river past Napoleon and Claiborne.
Agree, renting is easy and what maybe people do. Generally the highways and major roads between town are kept up well. That said, in certain areas traveling at night can be iffy if you don't know the road condition ahead of time. And as you mentioned, if its not dry season back roads can be adventurous.
One of our recent trips was in late July, not peak rainy season. Stayed part of trip near north of Playa Potrero. On route from airport we forded 2 streams in a 4WD SUV, second one water was really moving and probably shouldn't have risked it. Once we arrived our host informed us there was private bridge a little out the way that everyone uses in the rainy season. On the way back we paid the $5 for private bridge.

re: LSU Suite ticket Info

You need to talk to someone at TAF immediately. Its still a long shot but if you go through internal TAF channels they might find someone willing to sell you their suite for that game for the right price. I think it will take 6 figures to make this happens as a one-off for LSU-Bama.

I’m going through this right now with my 15 y/o. For one when I was growing up there was nothing to do in the car other than talk and observe what was going on around us. Fast forward to the first week my daughter had her learners permit, we were on a road that we take every day to drop her off at school and she didn’t know where she was at or where the road went. It kind of hit me, she was always on her phone when we were driving. This was her first time to actually pay attention to where she was.
I think that is the biggest issue, they are almost detached from reality by having there heads buried in their phones all the damn time.
This here, its partially our fault. Live in the City, but we've meet kids who don't know how to get anywhere they can't walk to since the moment they get in a car no one is paying attention.

They used to keep the street car tracks clear and street cars running when parades weren't going, and only allow people to set up in the neutral ground a couple of hours before parade time.
I wish they would go back to doing that.
For RTA even 15 or so years ago this was the case, it worked great. But everyone complained about having to move their stuff so people could get to work/home before the parades start, and after. City caved, first told RTA they couldn't run streetcars closer than 2 hours before parades, now its 4 hours and entire line is shutdown from next Thursday-Wednesday.
Running streetcars overnight after parades would solve a lot of this.
I've done a few a leaving airport excursions during long layovers and will say this one feels tight. That said, If I was traveling solo with just a carry-on I would do it, assuming arriving flight lands on time/early and its an airport where I've cleared security before and know how to navigate well.
Also, you have to set a hard stop to go back. This is hard for some people, I mean like we are 1 block from the Abbey but its time to head back so we have to turn around. If you can't commit to a hard stop don't do it.

Correct on that point - last public school to win state that I know of was Division 1 - Northshore girls in 2020.
Lusher/Willow is a public charter school and has won 3 in the past 5 years.
Ben Franklin is also a public charter school and their women are ranked #1 in Division 2?
I don't follow that closely but looks like several suburban BR public schools have made it to the finals in recent years.

Will not happen for a shitload of reasons, one of the biggest being that many states explicitly bar themselves from participating in collective bargaining negotiations with public employees (which is what the players would become).
It's actually the opposite, there are only a handful of states where its illegal across the board for public employees, and maybe 10-12 others where its only legal for certain professions like teachers, police and fire. Collective barging for public employees is legal in the majority of states.
Don't large most homebuilders own the house till they sell it. Also, a large NYC high-rise is full of single family residences. Does he mean single-family detached residents. How do you define that, devil is in the details.
So Trump says any corporation can't own more than 100 single-family homes. Democrat president gets elected and changes the limit to 5 or 10, I know there are people here who own multiple rental properties.
Slippy slope, when does it stop?

How long is your trip? If you only have 7 days or less, I would do CR, shorter travel time, basically same time zone, probably cheaper.
Hawaii door to door in 2 weeks, and in 6 days. 2 weeks was much better. 6 days was still a blast but involve early morning flight there and red eye back to make every second count, might not be worth all that on a family trip.

Not trying to defend Latoya, but this doesn't make sense. The mayor-elect and new CAO were both on the council together for 8 years and approved multiple budgets, and they weren't aware of this upcoming payment???
Didn't they vote on this at one point? Cantrell couldn't screw up everything without lacking oversight by the council.

re: Will running once per week be enough to build any base?
Posted by NOLALGD on 1/5/26 at 4:32 pm to OysterPoBoy
Probably won't help much with increasing how fast or far you can run.
But if you do it for a few months you definitely won't fatigue as much during your runs and you will recover faster with less soreness.

Residential. Less than an acre. Approx 300 by 80.
Is the property already a lot of record, or you subdividing off a larger parcel?
EBR parish has multiple residential zonings with different requirements, however, if the lot exists you can build a single family residence even if the lot is smaller than the minimum lot size, provided you meet all of the other requirements. For an 80x300 ft lot front and rear setbacks shouldn't be an issue, but you will need to pay attending to the required side yards.

I've done both, but I have never been to or through SEA, PDX, DTW, or SLC. I've been in every other US airline hub.
Feels like you travel a lot, this is interesting. I've flown more in the past 10-12 years than I did in the previous 30 plus, but I don't feel like I've traveled alot compared to many here. Based on wiki the only large hub out of 31 I haven't flown to/through is San Diego (SAN). I've been to the city, but drove and took train from LA. Interestingly was scheduled to fly there in March 2020, but the COVID shutdown cancelled that trip 3 days before.
I wonder if part of it is i've mostly traveled out of a medium hub (MSY), and while over the years I have had status before with Delta, United, and SW, I've generally picked flights by price and travel time and have flown all of the major carriers plus some over the years.

Thanks. I tried looking on the gis website but its hard to understand with the zoning. Just trying to get much info as possible before spending money on survey before purchase.
Don't post too much information, but can you share the zoning of the site, the general size (less than 5 acres, more than 100, etc.) and approximately how much road frontage (don't share name of road), and what you want to do, sure people here will be happy to offer some general advice.
re: Subdivide land

Before you call a surveyor take 30 minutes to look up the zoning of the lot, minimum lot size and yard requirements, and permitted and unpermitted uses. This will at least give you an idea before taking the next step.
And pay attention to how much road frontage you have on a PUBLIC ROAD. Back in the day it was no problem to get servitudes of access, now many municipalities have very strict requirements and could even require you to build a road to build on areas of the property without frontage.
