Excitement and entertainment. It’s part of what makes New Orleans really interesting.
Why Do People Like to Live in New Orleans? I entered the question into my search engine and found this interesting website. The fascination with New Orleans is not logically explainable on any web site I have found. Clearly the city has an impact on many people that are perhaps fascinated by its history and the Bourbon Street party atmosphere. The city’s reputation has been amplified by movies like The Big Easy and A Street Car Named Desire.
Perhaps the reason people can’t leave is they feel trapped by their family history and their lack of education. It is a city of poor people that are mostly Black. We non-southerners all learned that thanks to Hurricane Katrina.
Enter the question “Why live in New Orleans?” and you get Related Searches at the top with links to Poverty Point, Political Poverty, World Poverty, Global Poverty, and Poverty Issues. As I scanned down I found this commentary from Matt Davis. It really does not explain the allure but is interesting.
The city is dying because many people are realizing there are other places that are just as much fun without the fear of hurricanes and they offer better opportunities too. The U.S. government should either relocate this city to higher ground or abandon it.
