New Orleans Style Courtyard posting will continue until morale improves.

@TheNOLAHermit The tarot card lady at the grocery store seems to have a better batting average compared to meteorologists

@steppedenizen Thank you for the update! Most of the country is dealing with bad weather news!

The cashier at the grocery store told me the Tarot cards told her we have 9 more days of bad weather in New Orleans ——

@CJB_1958 The development we see along Tulane Ave ought clear up a lot of it. Likewise I see evidence of st. Claude getting built up

@CJB_1958 When one takes more granular perspective it’s not the downtowns driving a lot of the serious crime. It’s the inner ring suburbs and handful of thoroughfares on periphery of downtowns. Idk NOLa specifically but if the same trend follows>>

People claim we can’t have public transportation in New Orleans due to crime. ——— RED AMERICA IS LYING TO YOU ——- Let’s get past noise and dig into the stats. A thread below🧵>>>>

@nuttermcdick Well when you put it that way, let’s loosen zoning so you can have a bar next to work😎

@steppedenizen New Orleans will never have great public transportation because the culture values leisure over efficiency. You can’t take the streetcar to work however you can take it to go drink.

@_NolaR_ Hopefully it remains that way. For 40k other Americans a year they can’t say they’re so lucky

@steppedenizen 30+ years driving, worst thing ever happened to me is a speeding ticket.

@_NolaR_ While yes there is a semantic distinction between death & murder. If we jump the shark and say “under both scenarios you wind up in a casket” you’re far more likely to meet your demise behind the steering wheel of your car

@steppedenizen You know where the murder absolutely isn’t happening? In my car. And my car gets me where I want to go immediately, on my schedule, faster, and with no other people to deal with.

@dennyburt8 I hear it’s pretty exclusive

@steppedenizen My friend's house was less than a half mile from the ocean so Mother Nature took care of the door and he did not have to change it. It's beautiful there & I like Utopian visions but I'm not sure I'd care to join.

In New Orleans, everywhere you turn there are pops of color. ———- Could you live in a zone or an HOA that requires you to paint your house a boring color?

@_NolaR_ It’s certainly a sentiment shared by many. I personally value freedom @shagbark_hick

@steppedenizen “if properly managed”. Yeah, good luck. I manage my car just fine and will never give it up.

@_NolaR_ “The murder” isn’t happening on public transportation

@steppedenizen So nothing to say about the murder and the demographic committing it, then getting released with a slap on the wrist?

@_NolaR_ If properly managed public transportation is just as, if not quicker than driving not to mention far cheaper, safer, and healthier for people and the environment As for hurricanes I think the “1 car household” benchmark is a good target and will still be sufficient for evac

@steppedenizen My time is far too valuable to be spending it waiting on public transport. And that’s before we even address possible evacuation issues from hurricanes.

@mglsite I get that reaction wverytime I bring up the topic

@steppedenizen Who says that??? they have city busses AND streetcars

@CSandbatch It’s never too late

If I could do it all over again I would have become a process engineer in Livingston Parish, married a 7.5 / 10 from Southeastern, moved to Covington & never give a thought to anything beyond LSU football, fishing, and a vague antipathy towards "thugs".

I don't know how I got here in the first place and have no idea how I would repeat it.

@CJB_1958 What’s crazy is, is that New Orleans had the lowest murder rate year in 2025 that we’ve had in 50 years. We’ve officially lost the title “murder capital of the world”

There’s still a lot of crime in NOLA!! I was at the French Quarter last January and it was a DUMP!!! Like third world even!!! Tons of homeless and drug addicts, ALMOST ALL of the businesses on Jackson Square closed and boarded up, so sad!!! One of the great potential shopping destinations empty!! The road work on the street didn’t help either!! I hope to God it gets cleaned up and brought back!!!

@CSandbatch @stex_press If you had to go back to square one, knowing now what you do as an internet celebrity, what would you do to regain your following? Assuming everyone got “men in black” mind erased of your former presence.

I tried to move over to my other account @stex_press but it's all literature people and they have gone psychotic over the last week..

@RedAlwaysHide @DolphinMossad @pyradius Is this a reasonable way of rolling out LvT?

@RedAlwaysHide @DolphinMossad @pyradius

@swamp_ist What I’m saying is it’s a non sequitur

@steppedenizen Not really. I’ll take my chances in my own car.

@swamp_ist Wouldn’t 1,700 murders and 0 car crash deaths be preferable though?

Orleans Parish had about 550 traffic-crash deaths over the last decade, compared with about 1,700+ homicide deaths. So, in terms of fatality risk, homicide deaths were roughly three times higher than traffic-crash deaths. Violent crime incidents overall are much more common, but that is an incident count rather than a death count.

@19th_c_Houston Oh believe me, if I padded the numbers only half as much as the car apologists do against public transportation, the 40k deaths by car crashes would look like child’s play

@steppedenizen What would be comical if it were not so tragic is the prevalence of crime in parking lots and parking garages, yet somehow the driving public fails to code these as the risk of driving.
