I'm a Northern Louisiana girl who found her husband and soulmate in Pennsylvania! I cook Gumbo all of the time for nostalgia. I made it at work and one man didn't like okra. He said "it would have been good if you didn't put okra in it "...Sir: OKRA is the main ingredient, and yes I put tomatoes in my Gumbo too btw. My mother-in-law didn't like it period, especially the crayfish. I hated Northern Louisiana because it is in fact an extension of Arkansas which is a weird state to live in. Living in AR is what pushed me up North. If I move back to LA, we're moving to Mandeville!

Exploitation. Look at DR Congo! Many naturally resourceful lands are controlled by very greedy people, usually outsiders. Louisiana is our home but it was home to natives before and still. They are the true caretakers of the land. Many of the Europeans who emigrated or were exiled here farmed mono crops in the beginning and eventually turned our coastline and inland prairies into a massive oil well to be continuously drilled from. Don't forget nuclear and natural gas, as well as chemical plants galore. You'd think the people here could have learned from the other humans who were here how to take care of an ecosystem that was here before us, but that was never their goal.

I moved from my 35 year residence in San Francisco to Baton Rouge in 2020. I love it here. In fact, I severed my CA ties in December to sink myself into this new home. Feels like this place deserves loving attention that I can provide, and offers far more human benefits than CA has ever thought of. Here, we live in nature. There, they try to conquer, control and especially own it. That's why the stats don't tell the story - if you're measuring money and status, you're in CA. If you're measuring happiness and peace, you're in Louisiana.

Though I haven’t faced the pain of adverse poverty, I can say that I’d understand why lower socio-economic states would be happier... from observation there seems to be more value for relations and living, appreciating simple pleasures which can be lost while constantly ‘goal chasing’ in richer countries. I feel as though such things aren’t valued as much when success and fashion are at the forefront. Easy to lose your identity when success and fashion are the main theme; how can you ever be happy if you’re chasing empty and constantly fleeting things. Sometimes less is more ( excluding the comfort that comes with financial security).

I’m from Louisiana This state stays so poor because the politicians steal all the money They tax us to death but nothing ever gets done They want to tax us again to fix roads but they won’t fix them they will just steal the money I moved to Texas for a few years and cried when I had to move back to Louisiana. I love my home state it has a great culture and food and is a great place to party but not a great place to live. I live between Shreveport and Natchitoches in the country.

Southern Louisiana is like a country of its own. I remember when I had the privilege of coming to Louisiana for the first time. The CULTURE oh the CULTURE, French, creole, Haitian, African, Vietnamese ! THE FOOD, some of the best in the world. Just amazing mash up of cultures where the people just get along, party together and live for live music. Man, if you can get a boat ride at the bottom of the boot in Louisiana, it is literally heaven on earth. One of the most beautiful places in this country hands down. Not to mention the people of Louisiana are tough as nails.

came across this video today, I'd have to say it's a very accurate description of the overall state. Born and raised here, lived all over the state. I think a lot of people in the U.S get the wrong picture about Louisiana, and likely the south in general. People here don't really care about how they're ranked versus other states, they have different priorities and there's nothing wrong with it. Yes the politicians are bad bad though.

Culture. Let me just think about that for a minute. The overall culture of Louisiana is corruption, out of control gangs in every nook and cranny of the state, and more corruption. The Louisiana State Police have been in the drug dealing business for God knows how many years. The same can be said for the local Sheriff Departments and Town and City Police Departments. Louisiana is just one big, continuous ghetto.

Louisiana has always been a state thats been at the crucible of old and modern American politics with our demographic. People get it wrong thinking we are... Whoever they think we are. We are one. There are towns in Louisiana where salt of the earth people say they honestly don’t know what they are. The whole town is so creole no one knows and its Louisiana af. We feel we’re at the forefront of suffrage in this country but Northerners will see what they always wanted to out of flyoverstate mentality.

As far as inequality in Louisiana - one factor is that the energy industry is highly automated, it does not require many workers relative to the wealth produced. In contrast with for example healthcare (very labor intensive).

This may surprise some, but here is a bit of history. Only the New Orleans area and northeast Louisiana have been "Louisiana" throughout it's beginning as a French colony. At one point the Florida Parishes and the west/southwest part was not included, and were owned by Spain. So much for the commentary that some make about northeast Louisiana not being really Louisiana.
