don’t live in Louisiana, but this idea of urban decay is the exact opposite of what’s happened in Tennessee. 20 years ago downtown Nashville was basically half of what it is now. Downtown Knoxville was almost dead. Areas like East Nashville were dangerous and North Knoxville had very few businesses. Now both downtowns are busy and growing. East Nashville and North Knoxville are filled with millennial homeowners, breweries, and good restaurants. Cities here aren’t decaying, they are thriving

It's area by area for sure. Louisiana chased out a lot of its educated Gen X and Millenials for the past two decades. A lot of that inner city urban renewal wasn't a thing here except for maybe a couple of pockets.
