I realize what he is calling a dump is Baton Rouge. I have only driven through Baton Rouge. But what bugs me is how many comments I hear from people that all of LA is a dump, mostly because there is a large concentration of poor. If LA were not a low cost of living state, I doubt it would have its charm. All the ghosts and goblins plus the music and arts culture, that climate cannot thrive in a squeaky clean expensive city. And some of these statements from politicians are acting like NO is just any other city when in fact it is one of the top 10 tourist cities in the US. You can't just shut it down and rebuild bourbon street somewhere else, I would rather shut down Dallas or Portland or any number of cities before NO. Economics are not everything imho.
