Yes you made a mistake haha. Didn't have to watch the video and could told you that (:

Love the winters here it was 82 for Christmas last year. Wayyy to hot in the summer but I hate winter so I recommend it to people prefer the heat. It’s an ok city. I am a new resident here. The cost of living in general is too high while the salaries are very low.
And yes the mosquitoes are horrible.

I stayed behind down Pontchartrain Drive during Hurricane Katrina Gee that was fun

Yep I was there 4 years till I left, total of 8 years between Slidell, Mandeville and New Orleans! Slidell sucks in many ways! I like the trace, the food and that's about it!

Don't move to Slidell it sucks and is horrible take my advice stay in your beautiful city of New Orleans

You forgot the termites 😤

We are planning on moving down in 3 to 6 months, One thing that we found out is that Slidell is a golf cart friendly city and that’s another thing that us older folks like.

I lived there for 8 years and loved it.

Why does a video entitled " Slidell pros and cons " start with picture of New Orleans?. Slidell weather is about what one would expect on the south edge of the US. We are closer to the equator than most of the USA and anyway all dwellings and businesses are well provided with air conditioning. Why not a mention of the Slidell Little theatre and the Theater on Robert road? . We have good public Libraries and Schools. Yes we do have many homes on the water. That is a plus for fishermen and boaters to be sure. We have good electric and water supply and you are right to praise our plentiful shopping places and restaurants. We have at least three good parks. I like Heritage park with it good walkways, there, John Slidell park and Fritchie park and the Tennis courts on Third street ( maybe the are some more).. Then we have state parks in Louisiana and Mississippi not too far away. What more do we need?. I think our crime rate is low because we have a good police department. That is important. In the past I have also enjoyed the adult education places- a welding class, English history and a lanquage class. Look around a bit there is more you could list. The roads are good with enough traffic lights ( maybe too many - probably not)

Bless her for giving her perspective. Def would not tell people the cost of living is lower. I moved from Chicago and EVERYTHING here cost more except gas for the car and shockingly, the home utilities. I think a lot of people from here have never lived anywhere else and don't realize how overpriced everything is. I love the warm weather coming from a cold state. You can get everywhere in town with 15 mins, 20 mins tops. The electrician is unstable and outages are frequent with the slightest bit of rain. The constant threat of hurricanes every year is a major con worth not living there at all. Food is all seafood a major con if thats not your thing. A few chain restaurants will get you through and there is a couple of really good mexican places. Politics and laws are horrible. If you're a woman, a child, or a minority....the laws do not support you having free will. Basically if you're a white man, perfect place for you but not anyone else! Second most major con if not tied with first.
