Why did NOLA expand North and not West?
Environmental groups stopped developers from filling in marshland like they had done to both sides of Jefferson Parish.

The Northshore was once a vacation destination for our grandparents' generation. Every one would love to live where they vacation, so ones that could stay, did.

Extremely unlikely that the feds would fund or the USACOE would approve permits to build new levees around currently undeveloped land

Because the westbank residents touched themselves too much at night.

Swamps
The only stable land foundation in east bank St. Charles parish for building homes is within 3/4 of a mile from the Mississippi River. Much of that land was for agricultural use(some of the best creole tomatos came from this area) but has slowly been sold off for development as the families no longer had interest in farming.

When they made draining wetlands for development prohibitively expensive - westward development died.

Losers that downvote this kind of stuff are so pathetic. Just admit you’re a simp for a paycheck life the rest of us.
You know what is even more pathetic? Grown adults who care about votes from strangers and use words like simp.

My grandpa actually bought a bunch of land in st Charles parish anticipating this. We still own tracts of swamp that will never be anything.

Woods vs sugar cane fields? Sugar cane fields are working farms and not always sold for developments.

The post-Katrina levees?
Built long after development was stopped?
