Star Rating - 4/3/2012
hate the real estate market_
any house that will be left standing after a hurricane is priced WAY too high for not enough home!! HATE the segregated education!!! there is NO magnet system so if you are poor you are OBLIGATED to receive poor education sad for those who are smart but poor Great for those who are mildly rich but stupid! HATE the food- tourist state yes, diversity is education; education is imagination; imagination is evolution and there is no evolution in Louisiana (anyone raised in Louisiana won't understand that statement)!!! The people here are so "rich" in culture that they cant see past their own noses! So many things are abandoned!! things that aren't abandoned are just neglected and its perceived as "beautiful and authentic". I'm going insane because of the closed minds here!!! I could go into detail here for hours about why i feel what i feel, but to sum it up fast...HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!!!!

It's a documented statistical fact that this is the most involuted place in America. A true backwater. People stay here their whole lives and don't move more than two doors down from their "parrains." This means that, if you have no family here, you are nothing. Cajuns like to pride themselves on their warmth and hospitality, but, I've never been anywhere with natives more cliquish nor more suspicious of outsiders, and so content with the staus quo.
