When I-10 was built from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, did any Ascension Parish residents start an uproar and tie themselves to oak trees in the path of the construction? If so, do those people currently use the Interstate or do they boycott it? I'm confused as the next guy as to why residents are against growth.

I'm sure there were plenty of people against the Interstate coming through town. Hopefully they got paid a fair value for their property. I can see the residents side of not wanting the loop. Being a homeowner, i'd not be too excited if the loop was coming through my land. Although i'm not attached to my land by anything more than its financial value, I can still see why you wouldn't want to lose any land that's been in your family for generations. I'd like to hear from some more Ascension residents, though. I'm sure there are some other reasons besides the land factor that they do not welcome the loop in their community.
