With that out of the way, the next hurdle is to see if Kailas can actally deliver something for once. If it goes past the council.

If you've ever been to Houston or Atlanta you would know that New Orleans could never be that large in size.


busta
New orleans CAN be built outward in the swamp area. Its not deep marsh. The built up parts of Miami Florida are swamp and look what they've done there. Also, there are already some communities that lie pass some of the swampland in the east...like venetian isles, lake catherine, fort pike, the rigolets. All that needs to be done is pump and redirect the water that's back there and build up and out. Other parts of new orleans that are built up started out as swamp.

How about we worry about that once we build on the empty lots and abandon homes within the core.

With that said, I was in the city today, will be there this whole weekend. THE ROADS ARE TERRIBLE!

I feel you on this and the roads are terrible but the good thing is they have started a massive plan to repave streets all across the city. Well overdue!!

Intriguing question. New Orleans has the culture amenities of cities much larger than itself. Jefferson and Orleans could hold a lot more people, but there would have to be a much different approach to development, especially on the edges where low lying development is the norm. There are loads of opportunity for redevelopment. Of course the demand has to ber there. What draws people to New Orleans to live? I've rarely heard people say they moved here for work, or for housing, schools, or even culture. Most people seem to have gotten here were born here, went to school here, or seemingly stumbled upon the city.

I agree most people who live in New Orleans are natives BUT the city is changing in the direction where there are a lot of transplants moving there for different reasons, which is wonderful. NOLA has been waiting to BLOW for many years I think the good things going on now are just the tip of the iceberg.
