Renting or Buying - 4/5/2007
I have lived here for 15 yrs. After Katrina finding a place to rent is impossible. I rent and my landlord has went up 44% since the storm. This is happening everywhere here now. There is no-one to turn too for help in fighting this type of gouging. After a loss of 70,000 + homes, it's just not worth trying to stay and raise a family. My wife and I are trying to find some place near the mountains now, we have got to get out before we are homeless. People are still living in FEMA trailers, tents, campers. Folks like us that still have a place are being forced out so the landlords can triple the rent no matter who gets hurt. Without money here, your walked

The real deal since Katrina - 11/28/2006
Someone said that soon it will be a ghost town, where have you been?? It is more populated than before Katrina and there are new things popping up everyday. Most of the debris is cleaned out and the cost of property is going up up up. There are so many new people here, all different ethnic groups. If you are looking for a coastal life style you better move here quick or you wont be able to afford land. This place is going to explode just like Florida did. I used to live in Florida and now it is very populated and houseing is expensive. overall the Gulfport/Biloxi area is comming back and it will be bigger and better than ever

Hurricane Katrina has hurt Mississippi Gulf Coast - 6/12/2006
Hurricane Katrina has hurt Mississippi Gulf Coast. I live in Gulfport and the economy has been hurt by the hurricane. If you are the kind of person who needs entertainment to keep them busy you may want to think twice before moving here. Also, housing prices have gone up and most homes are being sold for more than they are actuall worth. Apartments are also

Katrina - 9/18/2005
Since Katrina, we're iving in a LANDFILL! The only option we have for entertainment and fine dining is Wendy's, and a movie theatre that used to show 16 movies and now only 2. People are moving out and soon this will be a ghost town. It took 30 some odd years to build back after Camille and I've lived here 30 years but it's time to

Gulfport is Nice for Older, More Established Peopl - 7/6/2005
If you've already got your career in gear and money saved, you're fine in Gulfport. There's not much entertainment-wise besides the casinos, but the beach is a relaxing plus. For children and teenagers, though, Gulfport just means trouble. Boredom, depression, laziness--all these things can make for a pretty bad experience. My entire family is from NYC, and my father got stationed at Keesler in 1986, the year I was born. He took his tours while my siblings and I stayed in Gulfport with my mom. I ended up living there for 18 years of my life--let's just say it wasn't fun. After a graduation from high school in 2004, I had to get out of there. There are no opportunities for young people--especially young black people. I attend college in the DC-MD-VA metro area (where my permanent address is now), and I'm thriving here. Good energy balance. Sure, there are traffic jams and noisy, rude people, but it's no NYC. I visit Gulfport every few months, since my boyfriend and friends are there.
