Big Easy dying a slow death?

What 60%? Where are they? I sure have not seen them. I am in town and have been doing the catch up bit with friends and have never gotten around the city so easily. I am concerned. I actually was thinking about starting up a construction company here but I am very worried about the move back. While the music and food are one of kind I just feel a void is here that may never return. The tax base.
Most of the mid sized companies have moved out of the city. Then you have insurance rates that indicate the insurance companies have no faith in the Army Cop. of Engineers. The murder rate is worse than reported. You get shoot and make in an ambulance only to die in route or at the ER you are not counted among the group.
The city reminds me of scorned woman. it is a shame but facts are facts. She has lost her luster and is showing her age. It is not pretty and she is not happy about it.
