      @@DrakeAbshireLivingInLafayette This is true, Drake. I lived in NO for 34 years and have been here for 4 years now. Lafayette has its charms, but you just can’t beat NO’s stellar varied architecture and genuinely unique culture. If you ever want to go to lunch or dinner, just let me know. I haven’t seen you since circa Halloween 2012. You were about to get into the boxing ring, as I recall. I’ve always thought you were a sweetheart.

    I use to live in Lafayette Louisiana for 15 years went to New Iberia senior high then Acadiana high school. Lafayette does have a good culture & good food arguably the one of the best in the nation my opinion. The only thing that drove me away from Louisiana especially acadiana was its to close knit you gotta know people to get a job and to open up a business too. I moved back to my home state of Texas back in 2022 and living in the DFW area has been the best decision I ever made.. living in Louisiana felt like I was living in backwards time.. Texas is soo much better I don’t get the hype why Lafayette Louisiana is growing I don’t see it in my opinion

    I recommend you google "Economy at a Glance - Lake Charles" and "Economy at a Glance - Lafayette" to get better numbers on these cities. Lake Charles had an unemployment rate of 3.1% in April when this video premiered which was lower than Lafayette's 3.3%. Also, I think the metro numbers would paint a better picture of both places.

    Having been throughout both cities, Lafayette is a much safer place to live and has plenty of things to do. Traffic is much better, fewer homeless, less crime and you can get to anything in about 15 minutes. There have been many times I felt like I was in danger in Baton Rouge. I’ve never felt that way in Lafayette and lived there for 6 years.

    I like the Creole Cuisine in Lafayette but Baton Rouge has a more vibrant night life. I hate the traffic in both cities. In Baton Rouge it's usually backed on I-10, near Port Allen and in Lafayette, the lights sit on red way too long and they do not have a freeway to bypass the traffic. They've also gotten rid of the turning lane on N. University Ave, causing unnecessary traffic jams.
