We should just landscape over the entire middle with forests and solar panels. Not Louisiana, you can stay but as a warning to everyone between you and New Mexico and Colorado.
New Orleans is a national treasure and incredibly left politically. I'm not saying they don't have gang and gun violence problems, they do, but I feel more free in that city than anywhere else in the US.
Been all over the States. I currently work anywhere from Omaha to Brooklyn. I've done a decent bit of travel outside the country as well but only many times to Mexico and a few times around other countries in Central America.
Yeah I'm talking about the French Quarter and to a lesser extent the Garden District and downtown. I haven't gone to Bourbon Street the last three trips, I don't care for it. Helpful locals will tell you if you're about to walk somewhere you're not wanted. Other than that you basically never see a cop and you can chill with anarchic punks that don't judge. Last time I was there I was just chilling on the street and a kid walked up and pretty much shoved a large psylocibin chocolate bar in my mouth. Couldn't imagine that anywhere else.
