They would be a wecome change from the welfare minded population that left the city.

how unbelievably prejudiced some of you are!!we had a lovely population of jews esp in the lakeview area/a wonderful shul where so many siforim and Torahs had to be buried.many left. We had wonderful elderly couples;some died right afterwards from the trauma and evacuation.For those of us who lost homes and suffered thru it all, how dare you make fun of it with your smug selves. How dare you judge!This has been our home and our children went to day schools here and we have Chabad here as well.What do you know? What do you know about what people went through....!!!!!!!

Point 1 Self identifying Jews operate with group interests in mind yet I as a white gentile am shunned and frowned apon if I even speak of white gentile interests(as we've been programmed to deny).This is a troubling double standard. Point 2 I heard "conspiracy theories" for awhile now that New Orleans will become a big country club catering more towards the affluent,that there has been a land grab anticipating such a thing.Looks like the "nuts" may be right after all.

You make it sound like a city of Jews. On the contrary it is the home to one of the largest Cristian festivals known for its debochery including sex, in the street nudity, and drugs. The majority of the population is black and the education levels are some of the lowest in the US. Crime is rampant. In addition, on the day of the flood they were to have a Gay parade. So I am sorry you suffered for curses that fell on the land which you and your Jewish neighbors chose. Before the Sodom and Gamorrah was destroyed, G-d sent messengers to investigate and removed the good people from the destruction. If any such messengers came to warn, would the Jews of your community have listened. I tell you now, move to Israel where you belong The Bible belt is about Christianity, and Christianity is on the heals of Devareem 13 (Deut) - the collection of those who failed to prove they love G-d. You live in land of devout pagan worshipers who are fallen Jews gathered by Jesus. Don't think the decisions of your community did not contributed to their situation.

Live in the land given to your ancestor Abraham by the Lord.

I agree with the other southerners.. I grew up in miami and partialy in brooklyn.. wana talk violence ? Try buying a gun in nyc eh ? try buying a gun in miami... its easier to get a conceald weapons permit in florida (valid 5 years) than buy a gun in nyc which must be registerd and renewd every year.. florida bans gun registration as ileagal. Now, I carry comceald where ever I go in florida.. and with florida's castle doctorine.. anyone breaking into any gun owners home can expect to find himself at the morgue in 5 minutes.

New Orleans has always been filled with drug dealers and corrupt police. Nothing is new. And Katrina was not the cause. I would not advise anyone to move there. It is also true that Jews have been a part of the south for a very long time. (I suggest the book Shalom Y'All) And despite the stereotype, not all the South is filled with Jerry Fallwell type Baptists. Mobile, New Orleans, and Pensacola are older than the United States itself are were originally French & Spanish colonies. Most of the population is Catholic.

in general, for good living. But, you will be taking your chances directly in New Orleans. It may be a better place to visit at certain times throughout the year.
