RE: Port Isaac Drangs

in #tfcup6 years ago

What a beautiful village! its always sad to see areas become mostly tourist but it is also wonderful to see areas as beautiful and unique as this survive. I lived in New Orleans for awhile and it was always struggling to retain its unique character which was really driven by the locals. But the tourism drove the economy.

Sort:  

Were you in New Orleans before all the damage? Has it been rebuilt?

Port Isaac is a very unique place that's for sure and you can see why it would be difficult to maintain a modern population there now.

Maybe the people who've moved up the hill are the younger generation of those that came before them. 😊

New Orleans has been cleaned up and rebuilt. Unfortunately, many people who left after the storm did not come back.

Has the population dropped then @steven-patrick or have new people moved in?

when I lived there population was about 500k, I think it is just now back to 400k and dropped much lower right after the storm . many of the homes that were lost were in lower income neighborhoods. families that could not afford to rebuild. and much of that lower income housing is just gone. Plus many found better opportunities in Houston and other more vibrant economies. Sad story
