    I am from Hessmer (5 mins away) Bunkie is not nearly as bad as you think from the video. People are poor, but rich in character. I've left Louisiana for opportunity years ago at this point, but the place and the people will always have a place in my heart. No place makes better people than Louisiana. I know I can never call it my home again, but I will always cherish the memories I made and hope the rest of the US takes a page out of Louisiana's book. Money ain't everything, and you should never take yourself too seriously to have fun.

    @@tamilaborde8532 far as people are concerned i agree, the people of bunkie and morrow are friendly. and i agree to an extent that some areas are safe. It definitly is safer, I go there every couple of months because my grandma lived in morrow which is ten miles away which also has a lot of abandoned places and schools. so im very familiar with the area. The hospitals there are just not equipped properly wth monitoring and a lot of things are manual. The medical system, job opportunities, and lack of internet is the number one reason i would not live in bunkie. Im having to try to find internet service there for family and the speeds they offer, i could not do the type of job i have there. I remember what it was like when bunkie was full of life coming up to growing up to be a man in my 40s now and i watched bunkie decline. when i mention what i mention its not to say i havent been there recently, i was just in bunkie 3 months ago, come there yearly because i have family that have property there so i have watched piggly wiggly close down, winn dixie abandon their property, walmart leave, freds took over and then that closed down and now another business. I had family that had a funeral parlor in bunkie, so im very familiar with the area. if you need to work, you have to travel out side the area to make a decent living, and yes property is cheap but bunkie is a place you have to be prepared to travel a lot to other towns with more resources, a lot of younger people have left because its just better opportunities elsewhere, and i say this with no ill will to bunkie, its just what sadly happened to the town. i have had familiy died in the bunkie hospital and hospice there and i saw first hand the systems compared to where i live now are just not equipped.

    Exactly, I’m from West Monroe there’s the “money” side of West Monroe then there is bawcomville (still West Monroe) which has homeless people, run down houses, people living in major poverty. Then there’s Monroe with ALOT of rich people and really nice houses but then you go to the other side of Monroe and it’s just like this video most of the houses over there don’t even look safe for a pack of wolves let alone humans it’s so sad. We have places that say they are hiring but actually aren’t so it’s even worse now. I have a family member who has a masters and bachelors degree that lost her job and was applying to jobs for 2 months over 70 applications and only two calls back (she applied at places that don’t even require GED too) . She finally got a job with a center job that isn’t even based in Louisiana. Times are hard for EVERYONE these days but the government doesn’t care.

    Hurricanes got nothing to do with this. Those old houses laugh at hurricanes this far inland, unless a tree falls on them. This is low IQ and poverty, combined. Low IQ makes an inability to delay gratification and plan for the future. You get mad at somebody and do something in the heat of the moment and then you got a criminal record that keeps you out of good jobs, or you steal something just because you want to hock it for fun party favors for the weekend because you want to look big in front of your friends. Or you kill somebody because they insulted you or your mama or your girl, and lose 20 years in prison. Low IQ makes you unable to resist immediate impulse reactions and instinct, and makes it impossible to delay pleasures you want now for the sake of a better future. Call me racist or mean or whatever, i don't care, we all know it's true. These are good people with a heart of gold, and I love them to bits, but they can't delay gratification to think about planning a better future, and that's just the way it is, and we all understand that down here. We don't fault them for it unless it's our loved one they kill, because we know human nature. These people are our classmates, our co-workers, our friends, and increasingly, our in-laws. Don't judge them, especially if they aren't doing anything to hurt you personally. They're just poor because that's the best they can do. Find it in your heart to love them anyway, because they're rich in ways you can't even understand, worth so much more than a sly and fast brain. They're just trying to fit in to a society manufactured for people with a little bit higher IQ, and they keep falling a little bit short of the bar. Love them, befriend them if you can, but don't judge them. It's not their fault. And they do damn well, all things considered. I don't think I could cope half as well, dealt the hand they've been dealt. But it's got nothing to do with hurricanes. My family is working poor. They hard-ass their way through hurricanes and it just makes them tougher. Low IQ is the issue here. Don't judge. It just is. Love them, they're wonderful in their own way, and they can't help it. Rarely will you find a richer culture.

    How do you make money to even afford to have a home here? I think about relocating all the time, but that’s my only concern. Houses can be dirt cheap but that’s still not free. How can I afford a rental payment in these small towns??? I drive doordash in Los Angeles and that’s not even an option in these places. It’s expensive here and homeless people everywhere but I can’t imagine living in a place where I can’t get a job if I wanted to (where do all the homeless people go in these places?

    That's an interesting topic, and one worth addressing. The people who live in this neighborhood are one of 3 options... they're either working poor who have several minimum-wage part time workers sharing the rental expenses, OR they're on section 8 housing payments from the government, OR, their ancestor owned the house free and clear, and they only now have to pay the property taxes, which are dirt cheap. I live in the same parish (county) as this town, and I can tell you that if your property is worth less than $75k, which most of these homes are, then you only have to pay $40 per year in property taxes for trash pickup and fire protection. Our property is assessed at a bit over $100k value, and we only have to pay about $125 per year which is the $40, plus a little bit for public services like teacher salaries, etc. Healthcare workers are always in demand. If you can get the basic minimum certification for whatever a low-level nurse is (CNA?), you would be MUCH needed in the local economy to assist with nursing home care, or in any clinic or healthcare setting. You'd work your ass off, but you'd be able to afford basic living in this low-cost area. And you don't have to live in the 'hood like this. You could likely buy a nice little single-wide manufactured home and an acre of land for the same price as rent would be in this run-down old neighborhood. But that would require you to have a decent credit score and a few thousand dollars saved up. It would take some time and planning, but you could do it, if you're serious about improving your home ownership status. Or, you could simply buy a bit nicer older home. In next-door Rapides parish (county), there's not even the $40 property tax for homes under $75k value, if you file for Homestead Exemption. If your home is worth $75k or less, you pay ZERO in property taxes, so nobody can take it away from you for non-payment of taxes, because there is no payment at all required. I know, because I used to live in that parish and my best friend still does. Her house is 4 acres of land and an older doublewide, and she pays NO property taxes. For a person willing to live frugal, it's a good way to own something, get out of the rent cycle, and maybe even live rural away from a run-down neighborhood or dangerous town. But if you live rural, there's 2 MAJOR things you need... a lawnmower and a reliable, fuel-efficient car. Or if you're rich, you can drive a big truck all over the place. I suppose you could get by without the lawnmower if you had goats (but then you would need a good fence to keep your goats out of the road), but you absolutely need the car, if you intend to have a job to pay the bills. Hope this is helpful. PS- there are no homeless people in these places, usually. The homeless people are in the larger towns where there are soup kitchens and shelters and services. I suppose if there was a homeless person, they'd be couch-surfing with relatives/friends or squatting in a boarded up place, and everyone in the neighborhood would know about them and either keep them in line and call the cops on them when they get crazy, or refer them to the local church for services. Nobody wants they own house burning down because Jo-jo so and so was trying to keep warm with a bonfire in the living room of the boarded up place next door. And everybody would know about them because an entitlement/section8/foodstamp/EBT neighborhood of people has all the time to sit on the porch and watch EVERYTHING that comes and goes in the neighborhood, and they know everything happening around them. Unlike rich ppl who are gone to work all day or locked up inside not paying attention to what happens outside. Louisiana is poor and rough in places like this video shows, and downright dangerous in worse places than this, but it can also be a sort of charming paradise out in the jungle-boonies, where you do what you want and nobody bothers you, and it's cheap. If you were to choose Avoyelles Parish, which is where the town of Bunkie is, might i suggest you live closer to Marksville, where Avoyelles Public Charter School is, in case you ever have children? The public schools are truly hellholes, but APCS is a stellar college-prep charter school that Johns Hopkins University wanted to recruit my son from. It's K-12. Avoid Marksville High School like the bubonic plague. It's lethal ghetto for anybody who wants to learn anything. You spend all your time just trying to stay alive, much less learn anything. If you're serious about relocating anywhere near here, reply and we can chat.

    most people that live there work in another city and commute back, or they have a house handed down, but most of the houses you see, a lot are abandoned, there are not homeless people because its abandoned. when many businesses left like winn dixie , walmart and other small businesses, a lot of people left bunkie and abandoned their stores and homes and went to other cities or states to live. That is why you dont see homeless people in the video, I grew up near Bunkie as a kid and always went there because i had family that lived in bunkie.. almost half of bunkie is a ghost town. my grandma died in this ghost town because resources are very limited, not much they can do for you in Bunkie when death is knocking at your door.

But the poverty area in this video is part of a small town, and only part of the small town is poor like this. If you go just a few streets over, the homes are nice and the people aren't so poor.
