10 Places In Louisiana You Should NEVER Move To

Here is my entire Louisiana playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLq-_cmf3H6yrIZ2vTD-tyEJ…

I just moved to Metairie (New Orleans suburb) from Ohio and it has it’s problems but I love this state so far. I’ve done a road trips around the whole state and there’s a lot of bad but a lot of good. The southern hospitality, FOOD, live music, history, bubbly personalities and architecture have me hooked. I’ll say my only cons are the roads, crime and lack of trails. Otherwise it’s been a positive experience for me and my life has gotten better somehow.

I was Welcomed by the American People with open arms at the beginning of 1979 as a Vietnamese Refugee. The first place I lived was Orange County CA because the Family sponsored me live there. Only about two weeks later I got a job, the first check I bought a bicycle to go to work without having guarantor to drive me because they took care of me too much a really. After a few years I realize that if I was still live in CA I don’t have life better because I didn’t have a degree or a professional career especially I didn’t know ENGLISH. That is why I have been in Baton Rouge from 1984 to now, and I am proud of myself to have “never” depended on Government “money” since arriving in the DREAMLAND of so many people around the world want to. Thanks GOD / Thank you AMERICA and God bless your all. 🙏❤️🤍💙.

Every state has places like this! But Louisiana has so many positive places, experiences, rich culture ...nature, history, music...untouchable by any other state.

I was born and raised in Opelousas. I left for the Army at age 19 with no intentions on moving back. I do visit once or twice a year though. It breaks my heart each time.

Louisiana is so beautiful but so broken in so many places. I LOVE the gulf south region!

Louisiana is phenomenal. The culture is one of a kind.

Shreveport was once a beautiful, thriving city. Alot can change in 20 years 😢😢

I am from Jonesboro Louisiana and I live in Houston tx. I love that boot. Louisiana is suffer from social cancer. When it had a chance to grow those in control wouldn't let it grow. Now when you think of Louisiana all you you can think of is Cajun food and Mardi gras. Well let me burst you bubble . Half the food you eating I nola is creole and soul food and the rice and gumbo is a buntu dish from west Africa. The native fished the swamp in piroes (boat) gathering wild rice and crawfish. And the sausage was brought by the Germans and the Italians. Most of the spicy dishes was brought by the creoles from the Caribbean See LOUISIANA might look broke but the money just states in a few hands. LOUISIANA per square mile has more more natural resources to than Texas, Alaska,and California. Check the coal reserves, nature gas, salt, oil , rice farming,poultry, cattle, hogs,fish, seafood, lumber/timber/paper . There is no reason for Louisiana to be in the shape she's in. Also look at of position in the country . No excuse.

Local corruption/sheriffs office/boss hog has ruined all the cities and small towns in Louisiana, Louisiana has always been known for its corruption, but when the 90s came around the corruption went to a whole nother level causing industries to leave and local business closing down and its been going down hill ever since and the local corruption just keeps getting worse. In the 70s and 80s Louisiana was booming.

Im from Louisiana and recently moved to Seattle and the state is so bad that i would not want to raise my dead dog in Louisiana.

Born and raised in La. and moved to Atlanta in 1993. Very eye opening. Louisiana was once an oil rich state and have nothing to show for it. The schools, roads, infrastructure, and crime have gotten worse. I love going home to visit but can’t spend no more than 3 days in town. How can an oil rich state be so poor?

I don't want to sound like a dick, but tell me what the crime rate is, and I can tell you with 100% certainty what the demographics and political party in charge are.

There is ONE common thread connecting all these towns. I grew up in Eunice and it was a nice little town when the black population was 15%. Now it’s 35% and a hellhole.

Love all your videos!

You are right about most of everything you said. Things have gotten really bad. One thing about Louisiana, the people are very friendly compared to other states.

I used to live in Leesville, Louisiana. It was super depressing. The amount of unprofessionalism and apathy you see in the people is off the charts. The worst part is that things will probably not get any better there. Leesville suffers from what is called the "brain drain." The best and the brightest that they have, look for a way to move out. Tons of young people who seem to have it together, will either go off to college, join the military, or leave to live with a relative out of state. And they all end up relocating out of state. Usually Texas, (that's the route I took). Leaving the dregs of society behind.

Not to mention Lousiana gets some of the worst thunderstorms and tornados. A lot of homes are destroyed and most times people become homeless pretty quickly.

Yay Shreveport made the list! Lived there 41 years and finally had enough. Relocated 6 years ago.

very informative, great job Nick
