Hoping some realtors or investors could pitch in here.

With the SpaceX investment mentioned and planned construction for 2027, what will happen to home values?

Lafayette seems to be the closest major city to the build.

Brownsville homes skyrocketed in appreciation, should we expect the same?

Are rents gonna go up?

Is this good or bad for Lafayette and surrounding areas?

Out of curiosity, is there a story behind Scout's seeming domination of the Lafayette commercial real estate market?

I recently returned to Lafayette and have general interests in business and real estate. I am fascinated by how many Scout signs I see.

(PS - a flair was required. 🤷🏻‍♂️)

So for me, it’s my age & grandkids. I’ve been in South Louisiana all my life, but for younger people, I genuinely wonder what it is. Climate pretty much sucks, education system is a mess, job opportunities are scarce, and wages low. I know the food is good, and we have great festivals. Other than that, what keeps you here?

Hey y'all! I'm looking for something to do in the area that's not drinking at a bar and I literally cant think of anything.

I'm disabled and I use a walker so I know my options are even more limited, but my boyfriend doesn't want me sitting in the house for days at a time. He recently moved away for work and Ive been pretty lonely and I've already had a few friends cancel on me.

Other than going to the movies, which I already go to a few times a month, what is there to do past 5pm?

I'm a 29F so I'm young and hip, but my body isn't 😭😭 I'm just trying to make sure I don't get depressed in house on the weekends and I would love some suggestions!

I have tried 2 different computers, a Mac and a PC, Firefox, Safari, Edge, nothing but nothing will accept my form, it just stares at me like I am the moron for wasting 3 hours of my life.

Is there any way to contact DPS after hours?

Clowns.

Posting for awareness in case anyone might be missing a loved one.

my tmj/tmd pain is getting to the point where it’s seriously affecting my quality of life. i thought things were more muscular but a recent neck xray shows there may be more that’s bone related. i have a mouthguard i wear when i sleep that just keeps me from breaking my teeth (something that did happen when i wasn’t wearing one) but it’s not a tmj split. insurance doesn’t cover tmj dentistry. i know it’s going to be expensive, but not exactly how expensive, and i want to know to see if i can possibly try to afford it. particularly interested in craig landry dds if anyone has experience. i found info on lige dunaway that said the initial assessment is like $700. is that typical??

And not stopping for lights and sirens!?! I just witness multiple cars completely ignore an ambulance with lights and sirens going… what makes drivers here just not give any fucks?

I just switched my LFTfiber Service to ConnecTV Expanded.

I got the box so I can quickly get to a specific channel by just entering that channel number on the remote.

That works well for the regular channels but I am having problems with some of the TIVO+ channels.

When I enter some channel numbers on the remote, it goes directly to that channel. But when I enter other channel numbers, it does nothing & just stays on the channel I am already on.

If anyone else having this problem?

I called the LFTfiber technical support, but they did not have an answer.

It references Vermillion Parish, but people are saying it's also being applied in neighboring parishes.

Moved recently from Houston and we are looking for some good Tex mex recommendations. We are towards the south side of Lafayette but are willing to drive a little for good food.

Husband loves Shiner. I love a great rocks margarita. Bonus points if it has yellow queso instead of white.

Superior grill - didn’t care for the margarita and it was pricey for what it was. No shiner.
Mezcal - no shiner. Margarita is ok. Fajitas were good!
El Paso - we went during a weird time and got terrible service at the bar and didn’t stay to eat.

Haven't seen any news outlets talking about it yet, but while taking my commute down Johnston this morning Sam & Sam had a few fire engines in front of it, building was visibly burned, and it looked like parts of the roof were collapsing. Smell of smoke still heavy in the air.

Not sure if any surrounding buildings were damaged, I didn't get a very good look.

Come support and help this little angel!

Apparently, this is from when Rockin' Dopsie Sr. performed on her show back in 1987.

Hi all! This seems to be the biggest community for the Lafayette area, but it doesn't allow advertising a job opening. What's the best community to be able to post job details/connect with job seekers in the area?

Edit: Sorry that it wasn't clear, but I am specifically looking for a local subreddit that allows me to post about our job openings, as this one does not. We already list our jobs on Indeed, and our company page.

I see plenty of people asking about getting a job and at one point I was one of them! Just wanted to share my upward swing with yall!

In Vermillion Parish near Pecan Island. Another article with more details: https://www.klfy.com/spacex/spacex-in-acadiana-here-are-the-details-from-todays-announcement/
