IS BR the new NOLA (New Orleans, Jefferson: best cities, universities, best)

[nubianbrotha]

Its seems that there has been a lot of buzz about BR being the center of the world now in LA. Is it apperant in NOLA?? NOLA was a cosmopolitan place ,BR is not and may never be. Where does BR beat NOLA and vice versa?

The thing the pundits miss is that while there were population losses in New Orleans, the metro area also includes Jefferson, St Tammany, St Charles, (those who stayed in) St Bernard, and parts of Tangipahoa/Plaquemines. Meaning that you're still looking at over 1 million in the metro area. Even being optimistic, I see metro BR as having 700-750K.

BR has the advantage of being the center of government and on higher ground. But it doesn't have the varied infrastructure (defense, finance, tourism, many universities) that New Orleans has.

New Orleans need to get on the ball. I am tired of NOLA having a lazy attitude. New Orleans is one of the best cities in the USA
