I have lived in Chicago before and have visited New Orleans.  Don't do it!  The place stinks like shit all day every day.  Crime is rampant and the people are rude as hell.  The only good thing in the city is Mother's Restaurant.  Don't go unless visiting, and if you're visiting, stay for a few days only. 

What are you other options?

NO is a giant open air toilet.  I mean the place is just an absolute shithole infested with assholes.  It absolutely reeks of vomit, piss and shit.  I actually saw a guy pull down his pants and take a dump in the street!  I guess everyone should go there once so they know never to go back, but the thought of actually living there is beyond appalling.  As usual, the simpsons (pre 1999) say it best...

I have friends that went to tulane and I'd visit them every year for Mardi Gras. Seemed like a solid place to me.

i read this article in the paper today.  this was the best part:

In releasing their findings at a news conference in New Orleans, Justice officials vowed to work with the city to reform the scandal-plagued department, whose reputation has deteriorated since Hurricane Katrina.

I lived there for a couple of years decades ago. Like others have said, it's a shithole. One of those "fun place to visit, but I wouldnt want to live there" type deals.

  That "police department" is probably the most corrupt group of assholes on the planet (with the possible exception of congress)  They are nothing but enforcers for drug gangs, how the fuck could their reputation possibly deteriorate?!  Did they start raping puppies?

If you all think New Orleans is so bad, then how come there are an NBA and NFL team there?

I have worked in and around New Orleans since 1990 but never lived there.  I wouldn't live there, there are vans and SUVs driving around at night with 4-5 guys in it just looking for someone to shoot.  You could live in parts of Metairie (adjoining New Orleans) or parts of Kenner (also adjoining New Orleans but not as nice as Metairie) and drive in to school but I would in no way live in New Orleans.  None of the towns on the West Bank (across the Mississippi from New Orleans) are good to live in, either.  Metairie has some good deals on buying property but the taxes are high.  New Orleans property taxes are very high but then, you don't want to live there, anyway.  Good luck.
