I'm thinking of moving to the area from southern California. Houses in California are averaging about $1.2 million for a small 3 bedroom of 1,200 sq feet and the privilege of spending hours fighting the unbearable traffic every day. But at least California, with few exceptions, has houses built on lots that are larger than the structure on which they're built. Every house has at least a two car garage and driveway. That doesn't seem to be the case in New Orleans, the car theft capital of the world where everyone has to park on the street. It's an absolute disgrace that the lots in New Orleans are so small that there are no driveways and no distance between houses. For me, its an extremely important issue. But Metairie seems to have land, front and back yards associated with most homes making it far, far, a thousand times better than New Orleans.

Zone A?

I lived there 40 years, almost a year in Tampa and i feel the opportunities for my children are way more here. Its not all dreary and just a breath of fresh air here. New Orleans will always have a special place in my heart but such a dead end feel there.

this is my home town !!❤

Thanks for the vid i will be about 2 months for work in hammond and this really helped to know the city before heading out there

Embrace your curls Natalie😂 Great Podcast y'all, but my advice about moving to Louisiana........don't do it!

Fremaux spoken like a native is Free-mo

Well, that was about 10% of Hammond.

I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

Well, I'm from new Orleans

Pleasehelpme😊😊😊😊😊

I genuinely like your use of upbeat music to cover up the blight affecting the real estate there. I was also hoping you'd make a case for moving into the area as opposed to neighboring towns. Sadly, those shots of the downtown make Slidell look like Las Vegas.

I could have used something like this before Hurricane Katrina.

That house looks nice

You forgot to mention that Slidell is famous for the BUCKET HEAD THIEF that was featured on Jimmy kimmel live 😂😅😂 Not sure if thats a pro or a con lol

I graduated from Mandeville High School in 1988. Wow things have changed.

I lived in toula since 1995 But now live in crap ass Illinois

How’s the weather??

I live in Baton Rouge and went to school at Southeastern in Hammond. Its really a nice little town. Great video!

That's where the stairs are

Moved to Louisiana from California and we love it here

They changed the name tho

I miss Louisiana Since 1995-20?? I lived in Ponchatoula Natalbany/tickfaw & Hammond 1983-1995 I lived in baton rouge

The Californians that are leaving don’t like the state either. No need to judge an entire group of people, who are all individuals, with one stereotype

Which one is better for dating. I am looking for single men between 21-35 never married, no kids and do do drug or is not an alcoholic. Also has more help for disabled people resources if you need help.

This gives me hope. Thank you!

Moving to NOLA to Metairie for 10 years then Northshore I feel like you get more for similar prices or slightly lower..but the experience is 10x better tbh

Hello I am moving to New Orleans to begin my career as an entry level officer. I was looking for apartments that give cops discounts , If you could help me out that would be great.

If your from California don’t move here, almost everybody down here thinks people in California are democrats and satanic ( as quoted from half of Gonzales Louisiana) plus don’t move to Baton Rouge or you most likely will end up in the hospital with gun shot wounds or stab wounds. Almost every night someone gets killed in north baton rouge

Dont Do it! Louisiana is the Worst state and Last in everything poor man’s Paradise. If you’re a loser and you just wanna float through life then loserana is your place! Don’t ever compare CA to Louisiana. There’s nothing in Louisiana. The people are so rude and selfish in louisiana( dudes ah clown he said the people are friendly in Louisiana BS!!)

I love Don’s seafood. I am glad to know that there are still locations opened in Louisiana! That’s one of the things on my bucket list.

Sorry for you if you are.

Everything this man said was a lie 😂

“A little bit friendlier” is an understatement if you’re coming from SoCal.

Louisiana getting constantly hit by Hurricanes 🤝 Oklahoma constantly getting hit by Tornadoes

What's the healthcare situation?

cons of Slidell. its fucking Slidell

Bro a home like that in California would be 1 mil if not more. Y’all r lucky out there

Young families with children consider schools first. Both cities have poor public schools, and both have good to excellent private and parochial schools. Both cities have suburbs with better public schools. St. George, an unincorporated part of East Baton Rouge Parish, established itself to break away from the Baton Rouge schools and establish its own public school system.

Y’all guys are right next to my house

In either city make sure your in a safe part of town. Things can turn from a dream to a nightmare real quick

We do have a Costco…. Wtf

What about crime and education? I have seen the crime stats on Hammond, and they are not good (crime rate is 75 per 1000 with a good portion of that being violent crime). If you really are real estate ppl pushing for ppl to move there, you have to understand what is important to ppl with children. And an unsafe city with poor education is not going to be attractive to them.

If your moving from California don't we don't want your terrible policies that you are moving away from

Lol, I'm in Louisiana and sweetheart, the weather is disgusting in the summer. It's already terribly hot and humid & summer hasn't even officially begun. We do have Hurricane parties, cause there's nothing else to do, being stuck inside 🥳 🎉 lol😂 if the winds get strong enough, trees are uprooted that you'd never think would be uprooted! It can get super, super scary & it floods at times. Bad. 😨 but... did you know that hurricanes spawn tornadoes 🌪 around the eye of the storm and the East Side of the storm? Yep. 😢 So, if Texas gets hit, we get the worst of the storm... Also, there's one season year around... humid, humid, humid and more humid. 😂 Unfortunately, Louisiana also holds, I think the 4 out of 10 most dangerous cities to live in (I may be off with the numbers), but be careful where you settle. Be prepared to gain weight too. There's not as much outdoor physical activities here but we do have some beautiful scenery & lot's of FANTASTIC food, bars & venues for the home of Jazz, Voodoo & the besssst food in the world in New Orleans (Nawlins). New Orleans is below sea level, so I def wouldn't move there. Idk if you saw the documentary on when Hurricane Katrina hit N.O. almost head on and oh, it was horrible... but it is soooo much fun to visit! There are lots of state parks in La., which are pretty neat because some have boardwalks that lead smack dab in the middle of the swamp, where you might see a gator or two. That is, if it's not too hot or if a storm doesn't come along and destroy them, to be slowly rebuilt for yrs. Yeah, Louisiana is like no other state, in any way! Annnnd New Orleans in itself, is like a whole other World 🎉😂 they almost have, like a New York/New Jersey accent in the heart of N.O., then when you scootch just outside of N.O., over the Causeway and such, CAJUN COUNTRY and Cajun French accents so heavy that you can't understand what they're saying. Lol. Then, coming from BTR (more inland), they have hardly any accent at all. It's crazy 🤪 Oh and dare I forget Mardi Gras all over the state! Quite the experience, esp. in New Orleans! You'll probably see more than you bargained for and I guarantee you, you've never been to a parade, until you've been to a parade in Louisiana. "THROW ME SOMETHING MISTA" All over... during the season (Feb/Mar) hehehe 😊

You left out the food, the music
