When I first met my late BIL, he lived on Signal Hill, which was pretty cool. Then he moved to Belmont Shores into a little house like you have. Then he bought 5 little houses and knocked them down to build his empire.
What the hell did he do?

Real estate investment and property management.

We are still partners in a number of his deals. My SIL is doing a great job on the management side, but the company is no longer buying properties.

I will try it.
The reason I 'found' that part of town was going to Little Miss BBQ.  It's too good!  I get the double brisket and both sides are jalapeno grits.
I was brave one day and ordered the grits, thinking they'd be too spicy or just bad, but they are delectable!  They're too good!  Just a hint of spicy and just great.

Which States Have the Worst Roads—and Which Ones Have the Best? (motortrend.com)

I dislike when you have to click through pages to find anything.

The rest of y'all have some bad roads apparently.

I didn't click all the way through but if there's any state that has worse roads than Louisiana, I don't ever want to drive there.

LA came it at 12th, from the bottom.

Oklahoma was 8th worst, they lost out to Texas.

CA was next to worst, which was held by RI of all places.

I've driven in every state but ND and AL.  I had the most issues with NJ.

Well, obviously.  

I didn't think California roads were all that bad.  Definitely not as bad as Louisiana.

Most California roads don't have to deal with frost heave, temps from -40 to 120, and junk drainage.

Not surprised about Louisiana. Everything in that state is 6 inches or less above the water table. 

Drainage is the sneaky road wrecker. Spots on our system that are chronic trouble spots for pavement buckles and potholes are places with bad drainage and poor subgrades.

We have exit ramps near me off an old freeway that are 70 years old and the original concrete.  Weather (and exit ramps).  When they widened the main freeway, the left about 2 miles of old freeway parallel to it for local access, it's quite handy, and old.

Many of the higher ranked states are in the south, not all.

CA roads are pretty bad. Problem here is that it's impossible to fix them because there's so much damn traffic that you don't want to shut them down and screw everything up more than it already is.

That's an issue, but their real problem is all of the dirty politicians who seize the money that's supposed to be spent on roadways and... well... steal it.  Huey Long might not still be around, but his legacy remains.  We've had some corrupt politicians here in Texico, LBJ was among the worst, but they can't hold a candle to our neighbors to the east.

I suspect often they don't literally steal it, they do it quasi legally, favored bidding contracts etc.  Fifty years ago you could tell who was governor or DoT Commish by looking at a map of the state roads.  The I-85 routing story is illustrative.
