    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...

      I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more.

    I was raised in New Orleans in my youth, moved back for a year and couldn’t find a decent paying job. It’s hard out there. I moved away to learn why my parents decided to leave. I miss it. I miss everyone that I called friends and family there. It hurts me deeply to leave but where I live now is a lot better for me.

    Funny how all the "Do not move here" videos are from real estate agents. The problem is that really can't comprehensively cover the topic because they can't talk about certain topics.
    I love New Orleans - but to visit. My father used to live in Mandeville and take the Causeway into work each day. I still remember making a crossing with him, getting to the mid-point and was unable to see land in either (or any) direction. I love the deep history and charm of the city, although some parts have seen better days. Some of the best food ever, so there is that.
    Well, it's a southern port city with all the quirks that come with that, plus some negatives like crime - which is super common in any large city. Being in the deep south, you'll have to deal with oppressive heat (It's basically a swamp with some islands of civilization on it) about half the year, but late-fall, winter, early-spring are decent to really nice. You have to go to Mississippi for a decent beach. Of course, hurricanes are an issue and is compounded by the fact much of the city is near or even _below_ sea level.
    I suspect most folks moving to the area are doing so because of a job. I'd pick a suburb and not live in the actual city if possible. Commute would suck, especially in the fog. Pick your poison, I suppose.

    • @Livinginneworleansla
      @Livinginneworleansla  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree with you in terms of things we can and can’t talk about, unfortunately it sucks.
      New Orleans is an amazing city, don’t get me wrong! As someone who just recently moved to the area, I still technically have the eyes of someone who is still wanting to know more about the area.
      After living in the area, I would also just go to New Orleans to visit, which is usually what we do when family is in town. I think New Orleans if you’re someone who enjoys the history, the culture, and you’re not looking to settle down could be a an awesome option.

    I move here close to 5 years ago and the worst part is I moved to Jefferson Parish instead of New Orleans and both my locations have been miserable and it takes the bus 1 hour to get to downtown NOLA. If you have a car this place probably isn't so bad but without a car it isn't so happy - if you live far from NOLA.

    Good video! I moved to Jefferson Parish nearly 5 years ago. I have an opportunity to relocate now but I'm panicking with fear so I may just stay in this area. I've grown tired of the entire area. The downtown has always been a big disappointment to me. I'm elderly, have dizziness, and CFS so I must use a wheelchair and this city and area is not wheelchair friendly. I have a cat I'm worried about giving away so I might stay here in hopes of keeping my cat. The downtown is pretty and historical. I don't consider it exciting. There are only a few big buildings - no skyscrapers. But there's a big area to walk in so if you like to walk, you'll get very tired. If you like traveling other places you'll probably have to fly. There's small towns you can drive to but bigger cities are several hours away. About the weather, yeah it does get kind of humid and hot for 2-3 months but to me the weather is the best part of this place with the exception of a hurricane might come - it's been awhile since the last hurricane.

      Great question! Honestly, in my opinion, the climate and hurricanes in New Orleans are pretty similar to what you’re used to in Florida. Of course, everyone’s experience can be different-I moved here from Tennessee, where we dealt with tornadoes and a different climate, so my perspective may not match yours or the locals’.
      That said, I find the weather in Louisiana to be pretty tolerable. . If you’re coming from Florida, it may feel familiar to you as well. The winters here are mild, which is a nice break, and while the summers are definitely humid, it’s manageable. We do get hurricanes, but it really depends on what you’re comfortable with. Personally, I appreciate that it’s not as cold here as it was in Tennessee!

      I lived in Metairie for almost 20 years. Recently had a child and moved to Mandeville on the Northshore. Metairie is a bit more family friendly than most of New Orleans. It’s viewed by locals as a “less cultured” version of the city. It’s more big-box store and fast food-chain oriented. With that said, it is safer with less crime. It’s not immune to crime, but many neighborhoods are statistically speaking relatively crime free. Politically…Metairie is firmly red. New Orleans is flamoyantly blue.
