Well I used to live there before the hurricane and I gotta agree with the other answerer on here it is a really great city, but the humidity and heat is awful. Also Crime is pretty bad, but since the storm it may not be as bad. The good side of New Orleans is well alot of things.....for one bars stay open all night or until everyone leaves....Bourbon st. is always somewhere to go.......lol I dont think those answers will help you with your work tho..... I actually lived on the westbank which is across the river from New Orleans, its called the westbank cuz its the west bank of the river, its just a bunch of cities in a row along the river. New Orleans is great and I think if you do decide to move there you will never forget it. Oh and also I havnet visited in about a year but the last time I was there the damage was still pretty bad so prepare yourself. The damage is basically in the neighborhoods not in the middle of the city so you wont be surrounded by it but it will still be a quick drive away. Im just wondering where are you gonna be staying exactly? In the city of N.O. or a nearby city? If you find out you can email me and Ill be happy to tell you about the exact area.

I'd go for awhile. I don't think I would want to live in New Orleans long term, but for a year or two, I would go.
I've heard alot of good and bad about living in New Orleans, as the other posters mentioned, crime would be a concern for me. But I am certain the good aspects would outweigh the bad.

New Orleans is a great city, and I wish those folks much success in rebuilding & bringing that great place back from such tragedy. But I'm afraid I'd answer "no" because I'm a wimp and can't take the hot, humid weather.

I have to agree with phillipa. New Orleans is a great place to visit, but I would NOT live there, simply due to the heat and humidity, with which I do NOT deal well.

Yes! Of course, I'm less than 2 hours from there now, so it wouldn't be a big move for me. To address some of the issues brought up so far...
1. Heat/Humidity - Oppressive but I'm used to it.
2. Crime - Honestly one of the worst records in the nation. Even the cops are frequently arrested.
