Review of New Orleans, Louisiana

Unhappy here

- 7/19/2022
I've lived here for going on 3 years. The person who lives with me wanted us to move here. It got old for me very soon after we moved here. Neither of us like it. People gripe about the weather I notice but other than the fear of a hurricane, the weather is the best thing about the New Orleans area. We got stuck out in 1 of the parishes but even if I lived right downtown, I might be a little happier, but I still would want out of here. We only got to travel out of here 3 times so far. We went to Houston once over a year ago. The other 2 times we went to Mobile, Alabama and Baton Rouge, LA, both are towns. New Orleans downtown is like 1 big town. The worse thing about the NOLA area to me is that any big city is very far away. Houston, Texas (not that exciting) takes 8 hours on the Amtrak to get to. Atlanta, Georgia takes 12 hours on the Amtrak to get there and about 10 hours I'd guess on a bus. I'd love to visit Atlanta or Dallas but they both take many hours to get there. It takes 12 hours to get to Dallas, Texas by Greyhound. I feel like I've gotten myself trapped here. I'm in a miserable state of depression. I've had to live on the same street for 3 years in a row since I could not find another apartment. I feel very stuck. The person I live with has been unhappy with our move also.
