The rent in the city is way out my price range. I found a few places in an area know as the 9th Ward and also in the Eastern New Orleans area off of Crowder and the Chef Hwy. They have cheap one bedroom apartments. Where can l run in these areas? Are there parks to run at night, like 9,10 pm, or 11 P.M when it cools off in the Eastern New Orleans area? I don't know how to drive, so l can't go to the city, but l can bike to a park near by off the Chef Hwy if I need too.
1/10 but on the off chance this isn't a troll you should look at places in Jefferson Parish such as Harahan and Metairie. Those places are much cheaper and safer than even the safest areas in Orleans Parish (Uptown/Tulane), but they are pretty boring. Thankfully the suburbs are only a 15-30 minute drive away from all of the fun stuff in New Orleans, and traffic is not bad compared to other cities.
In the suburbs, at night you can run through the neighborhoods since there's very few cars on the roads, and there's a very long paved levee along the Mississippi River that goes ~25 miles outside of the city, which is a fine place to run at night. If you are looking for soft surfaces, there's another long levee (~10 miles) along the lakefront that's grassy on the top, and there's the streetcar path on South Carrollton and St. Charles that's (~5.5 miles). It's one of the few places to run in Orleans Parish that's actually safe and relatively well lit at night.
Are you the same guy that was asking about a place in New Orleans east last month?
No. I can't find a cheap place in the Jefferson county area or parish as they say. There are a few cheap, but rundown apartments in the New Orleans East area. The apartment owner says it isn't to dangerous, but NOPD did respond to a shooting the other day there. He is at least being honest. I am also white, so he said l would be the only white male in the complex. It is section 8 housing.

I don't have a car and don't know how to drive one anyway. I can only afford section 8 housing. The stuff in Meterie is a no go. It's a nice l, but run down complex off Bullard and Chef Hwy. I am looking for a nice park to run in at night near by to avoid the heat. I can also run early in the morning before the sun comes up. The apartment complex manager was honest and did say someone was shot a few days ago in the building, but otherwise it's safe.

That's a great place if you like crack and prostitutes. I risked my life just to go to the Dixie brewery. I wouldn't recommend that for everyone but their beer is to die for.
Some guy was stabbed off Bullard according to the news yesterday. I know it's risky, but l can't afford anything. I was looking at living in a motel on the Chef Hwy because l don't have any funture, but some lawn chairs and a sleeping bag. Do you know of any parks near by? The 7 precinct for the NOPD is near by. I am really thinking of staying in a motel by the week, they sound much safer.
Priceline for the hotel in the garden district. Craigslist for living in New Orleans. Did you even look. You'll learn to take the street car. College grads have big houses that have some furniture and they rent out rooms. Share the kitchen.
