Is Tuscaloosa really this bad?
I can buy Auburn over Baton Rouge. Auburn is an adorable college town while Baton Rouge is a depressing crime-ridden shithole most resemblant of Biff’s evil 1985 from Back to the Future.

I beg to differ. Why dwell on the negative? Baton Rouge has had growing pains since Katrina, and its share of crime (mostly in North Baton Rouge), but I believe you're being monumentally simplistic and assuming in your exceedingly narrow-minded assessment.
It sounds like you CONCENTRATE only on the negative. There is so much positive that Baton Rouge has to offer....

Conventions, museums including Old State Capitol, U.S.S. Kidd, downtown business district, the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the prosperous Port of Baton Rouge, historic Garden District, beautiful municipal parks, shopping, great restaurants, casinos and nightlife, and events,festivals,fairs, architecture, the Riverfront, historic sites etc. The city is growing to the south and east with new businesses, new technology, homes and economic growth.

Bruh, I live here, don’t try and sell me shite and tell me it’s shinola. Baton Rouge has a few bright spots, but it’s pretty f$&king depressing and has gone downhill RAPIDLY since 2016. That post-Katrina rebound is dead and going the wrong direction at near Zimbabwe speeds.

If one of BR’s worst neighborhoods wasn’t lying between campus and downtown and the garden district, it would be a much nicer place to live. Unfortunately, it’s hard to gentrify that much dangerous real estate when your economy is in the shitter due to complete government malfeasance.
