re: When did Lafayette pass Baton Rouge as the 2nd best city in LA?

Statically speaking, Lafayette is a pretty average medium sized city in America. But comparing that to other cities in Louisiana makes it look significantly better because you're comparing it to BR, Shreveport, Monroe, Alec, Lake Chuck, and NOLA. An average looking woman looks hot if her friend group is nothing but fat chicks. It's the only city in the state where I can move into an urban neighborhood and not have to worry that much about crime and send my kid to a public school.

EBR has a significant downstream petrochemical industry with plants to manage, pipelines to build and maintain, etc, etc
I know, I've worked in downstream before. Houston has a significantly larger downstream industry and most of it's R&D and engineering is done there. Most of the kids who went into downstream moved there. A couple of them stayed in BR but they all left after a couple of years. I know one guy who is an electrical engineer and stayed in BR but left, just wasn't his type of place.

Did they have family businesses to go back to?
The STM kids did lol. Most of them were accounting (internal aduit program) or sales. Most of them ended up in Houston.

Definitely a mixed bag. Tons stay in EBR
Didn't know any that did except for a dude who started out in BR and eventually moved to Houston. When I graduated though, the exploration in the GULF was at it's peak. A lot of O&G companies in Lafayette and Houston were offering super high salaries for entry level engineers (this was in 2012).

I imagine it's also industry specific.

Not in my experience. Even ignoring those who move elsewhere, I know more who stayed in Baton Rouge than moved back to Lafayette
I guess man.
I graduated from LHS in the late 2000's, LSU in the early 2010's. Out of the dozens of people I still keep up with, half of us are in Houston/DFW/ATL, there's a few in NOLA, and the rest are back in Lafayette. A few stayed in BR but moved away eventually.
Maybe it's my insular group of mostly LHS and STM grads.

know a lot of people from Lafayette who went to LSU; the overwhelming majority of them didn’t move back to Lafayette.
Most of them do if they don't end up in Houston, Dallas, Atlanta first. If given the choice between Baton Rouge or Lafayette, they pretty much all move back.

Mate, you’ve posted in these threads about BR’s food scene
BR's food scene is only better for ethnic food and fine dining (compared to Lafayette). If you don't like Cajun food, Lafayette's options can be limiting.

Lafayette traffic isn’t nearly as bad as people try to make it out to be if you live in Lafayette and are traveling to other places in the city. Now if you live on the outskirts, or in Broussard or Youngsville, then yeah traffic probably sucks for you.
The only people who complain about Lafayette traffic are people from economically declining redneck towns or people who commute from Youngsville. The latter brought t h at upon themselves.
Ive lived in BR, Nola, Lafayette, South Florida, and Houston. Lafayette was a cakewalk.

Im a Lafayette native that graduated from LSU. I know the handful of UL people who are like that but I can guarantee you nobody wants to move to BR for the quality of life, job market, or schools. Just about everyone from Lafayette that I knew at LSU either moved back home or moved to Houston. Baton Rouge is a terrible place outside of the LSU bubble.

Lafayette pretty much has everything BR has on a smaller scale, including the crime rate.

It was used as a benchmark for keeping out kids who needed remedial math. Based on stats, most kids who scored below a 20 in math needed some type of remedial math in order to move on to college algebra. It saved the university a lot of money and dramatically increased the graduation rate without having to lower the goalposts in other classes.
