This map is the result of speaking with many people in New Orleans about where I should live.
IMPORTANT: The quotes are not my own, nor do they reflect my sentiments/opinions. They are merely a sampling of what I've heard from people in the last two days, which I find interesting, unsettling, and humorous.
KEY:
Red- not safe for me.
Yellow- relatively safe.
Red Dots- areas I'm considering living in.
The dilemma this map brings up: Whether to live in the Marigny (Google just taught me how to spell that) or Magazine Street. The former is more charming and has better "atmosphere." The latter is a bit safer and closer to two very important things to me: boxing gyms and food stores.
FEAR: The idea that the only thing heating my apartment in the winter will be an open-flame heater that spews carbon monoxide and might set my place on fire.
LOOKING FORWARD TO: Paying a $60-per-month gym membership. Observing a Gospel yoga class.
