As a Louisiana resident, I don’t see this as a problem. The fewer people, the happier I am.

I mean I get what you are saying. Sparse population is a good thing if you like peace and quiet.

But when you LOSE population you once had, there is nothing good about it. It’s a major drag on the economy. There are fewer jobs, fewer companies, and a lower tax base.

It's a cycle. People will get tired of traffic and prices in the south and move other places. Then it will flip again.

Sounds good but the people moving are taxpayers. That means the taxpayers remaining have to pull more weight.


I defend LA a lot but I am actively telling my kids to look elsewhere when they get to the point of setting down roots.

As a former Louisiana resident, you should. Ask yourself who's staying and who's leaving.

The problem is that the productive people are leaving and the shitbirds are staying put.

On a micro level sure. On a macro level that kind of pattern will be a big problem for Louisiana.
