I would be very disappointed to see the Loews State not returned to a performing arts use. It's a beautiful structure with great acoustics. The city should have worked out a similar deal as they did with the Saenger to get it open - I think a renovation of the Loews would cost much less. I know there may be some concerns with too many facilities competing for acts, but at the rate things are growing, I think it would fit right in in a year or two.

Same with financial markets—we have reasonable restrictions on how people can buy and sell stocks to keep the market fair so people continue to invest in it. In principle the free market is as imperfect and at times self destructive as people themselves. Through experience we’ve learned some things need a semblance of external control for the maximum benefit to be achieved.

No one wants an open air manure farm to open in their neighborhood.
Pretty sure no one here suggested that we shouldn't be critical of chain stores opening. The point made was that there's not really a legal way you can do it. If it's zoned to allow a coffee shop, you can't zone it to only allow a coffee shop based in Louisiana, or the New Orleans metro, or Orleans Parish. Chains don't do very well in NOLA because people here prefer locally based businesses, and that's totally fine. If Starbucks is really off-base opening there, people won't go enough to keep it open. We have quite a few zoning laws in New Orleans for good reason; it's not like we're Houston, where you can pretty much build whatever you want wherever you want.

Agreed. The reopening of Loews as a theatre would create a true theatre district here, with Joy, Saengar, and Loews right there, plus the Orpheum right around the corner. I would love to see that!

You made the point better than me. Land Use Regulations are good and important for helping shape the future growth and protecting the integrity of our neighborhoods. That said, we need to recognize there are some limits to what can and should be done. I rue the day when every commercial or non-residential use must seek the favor of the local neighborhood association(s) to be able to open.

yes trust me... that would be hell on earth.. the worst part is its a very loud and obnoxious few that think they should dictate for everyone else. let the free market sort it out! if they are correct and the neighborhood doesnt want a particular business then that business will shut down. Generally, what we see once a business opens is that they were full of it and the business thrives!
