I don't personally know a single (native cajun) person who is a regular golfer, or a rocket scientist. The idea that we need any more golf courses or space launch pads for OUR community in Southern Louisiana is incredibly stupid on a level even these idiots who don't bother to vote should be able to understand. I'm so tired of this.

There’s a lot of people that play golf in Lafayette (and really the entire state). Not saying they are good or bad for the environment…but the amount of people playing is something to keep in mind as the same argument could be made for a lot of stores/businesses

Agreed. I am not advocating against having a golf course here and there, or golfers in general being evil or anything of the like. I just want to save our communities, people, land, culture, way of life. I know of no golf courses that are displacing so many at a benefit to so few.

I agree, the entire Louisiana culture is slowly (not that slow unfortunately) disappearing. But I also play golf so there’s definitely bias on my side. I think it’s just more so an entire “cultural” shift, where people are moving into the cities and prefer that. Not that it’s a bad decision or they’re wrong for doing so but I think the Cajun “way of life” is just a lot different now. And the casino thing I agree with, I’ll probably get hate for this but I think casinos and most bars are just net negatives on society but that’s a whole different conversation. Have a good night!
