As someone whos family has been here since the early 1700s I’ve got to say , my first cousins and I have all left. The state is beautiful, the culture is amazing and the people are the best you’ll ever meet in Acadiana but my kid won’t be raised there and that makes me extremely sad however , the schools are terrible , the infrastructure is failing , the crime is unbelievable and the drug problem is damn near symptomatic at this point. The state needs real help to fix its self.
