The 10 Cheapest Places to Rent in America.
When thinking about the cities with the cheapest rent in America, you probably aren't thinking about New York. In fact, former mayoral candidate Jimmy McMillan once famously declared, “The rent is too damn high. But head away from the big cities and you'll find plenty of cheap places to rent.
So just where are these places with the cheapest rent in America? As expected, the cheapest cities for renters are away from the coasts and metropolises, in suburbs and tucked-away cities and mostly concentrated in Southern states.
These budget-friendly burbs are home to America's most affordable apartments. And out of nearly 1,350 cities in the nation with 50 or more rental units, only these ten cheap places to rent offer an average one-bedroom unit under $570.
Here are the 10 cheapest places to rent in America.

map of Louisiana
Louisiana (Standard French: État de Louisiane [lwizjan] (audio speaker iconlisten); Spanish: Luisiana; French: La Louisiane [/lwi.zjan/]) is a state in the Deep South and South Central regions of the United States. It is the 19th-smallest by area and the 25th most populous of the 50 U.S. states. Louisiana is bordered by the state of Texas to the west, Arkansas to the north, Mississippi to the east, and the Gulf of Mexico to the south. A large part of its eastern boundary is demarcated by the Mississippi River. Louisiana is the only U.S. state with political subdivisions termed parishes, which are equivalent to counties, making it one of only two U.S. states not subdivided into counties (the other being Alaska). The state's capital is Baton Rouge, and its largest city is New Orleans.
Much of the state's lands were formed from sediment washed down the Mississippi River, leaving enormous deltas and vast areas of coastal marsh and swamp.[8] These contain a rich southern biota; typical examples include birds such as ibises and egrets. There are also many species of tree frogs, and fish such as sturgeon and paddlefish. In more elevated areas, fire is a natural process in the landscape and has produced extensive areas of longleaf pine forest and wet savannas. These support an exceptionally large number of plant species, including many species of terrestrial orchids and carnivorous plants. Louisiana has more Native American tribes than any other southern state, including four that are federally recognized, ten that are state recognized, and four that have not received recognition.
Some Louisiana urban environments have a multicultural, multilingual heritage, being so strongly influenced by a mixture of 18th–century French, Haitian, Spanish, French Canadian, Native American, and African cultures that they are considered to be exceptional in the U.S. Before the American purchase of the territory in 1803, the present–day U.S. state of Louisiana had been both a French colony and for a brief period a Spanish one. In addition, colonists imported numerous African people as slaves in the 18th century. Many came from peoples of the same region of West Africa, thus concentrating their culture; Filipinos also arrived during colonial Louisiana. In the post–Civil War environment, Anglo Americans increased the pressure for Anglicization, and in 1921, English was for a time made the sole language of instruction in Louisiana schools before a policy of multilingualism was revived in 1974.There has never been an official language in Louisiana, and the state constitution enumerates the right of the people to preserve, foster, and promote their respective historic, linguistic, and cultural origins.
Based on national averages, Louisiana frequently ranks low among the U.S. in terms of health,[education,] and development, and high in measures of poverty. In 2018, Louisiana was ranked as the least healthy state in the country, with high levels of drug-related deaths and excessive alcohol consumption, while it has had the highest homicide rate in the United States since at least the 1990s. mapa de Louisiana
Leesville Louisiana is the destination for this week! #vanlife
In 1871, when it was decided to Vernon Parish, Dr. Edmund E. Smart saw an opportunity and quickly offered to donate land located on his plantation, within a stone’s throw of the main house, for the new courthouse. His original plantation house still stands.
The city that formed around the courthouse was named in honor of General Robert E. Lee. Though established as the county seat in 1871, it wasn’t formally incorporated until February 15, 1900.
Growth was slow in the new city until 1897, when the Kansas City Southern Railroad arrived, making it possible to get Vernon Parish timber to the larger markets back east. The population exploded in the entire area and for a short time industry boomed,
In 1941, with war on the horizon, the US Army required a location where they could test new military tactics and train soldiers in their use. Vernon Parish and Leesville were part of the chosen area that eventually covered much of Louisiana and Texas. Camp Polk was created as part of those training maneuvers and once again the population of Leesville soared.
Come along as we walk through this small town and see the history within.

Stationed at Fort Johnson, LA? Things to do…
Polk is more than just the Box
If you like the outdoors, Fort Polk is a great place to be stationed. It is a relatively small post, quiet, and comforting. There are many things to do such as hunting, mudding, motorcycle riding, crabbing, kayaking, fishing, boating, and more. Some of it may be a short drive away but it will be worth it.
Make the best out of Fort Polk and get out to enjoy the outdoors!

MAP OF LOUISIANA
hello my friends. this is a map of beautiful louisiana. Louisiana is bordered to the west by Texas; to the north by Arkansas; to the east by Mississippi; and to the south by the Gulf of Mexico. The state may properly be divided into two parts, the uplands of the north (the region of North Louisiana), and the alluvial along the coast (the Central Louisiana, Acadiana, Florida Parishes, and Greater New Orleans regions). The alluvial region includes low swamp lands, coastal marshlands and beaches, and barrier islands that cover about 12,350 square miles. This area lies principally along the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River, which traverses the state from north to south for a distance of about 600 mi and empties into the Gulf of Mexico; also in the state are the Red River; the Ouachita River and its branches; and other minor streams (some of which are called bayous).
The breadth of the alluvial region along the Mississippi is 10–60 miles , and along the other rivers, the alluvial region averages about 10 miles across. The Mississippi River flows along a ridge formed by its natural deposits (known as a levee), from which the lands decline toward a river beyond at an average fall of six feet per mile. The alluvial lands along other streams present similar features. excuse me. please comment if you love louisiana. continuing.
The higher and contiguous hill lands of the north and northwestern part of the state have an area of more than 25,000 square miles . They consist of prairie and woodlands. The elevations above sea level range from 10 feet at the coast and swamp lands to 50–60 feet at the prairie and alluvial lands. In the uplands and hills, the elevations rise to Driskill Mountain, the highest point in the state only 535 feet above sea level. From 1932 to 2010 the state lost 1,800 square miles due to rises in sea level and erosion. The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) spends around $1 billion per year to help shore up and protect Louisiana shoreline and land in both federal and state funding.
Besides the waterways named, there are the Sabine, forming the western boundary; and the Pearl, the eastern boundary; the Calcasieu, the Mermentau, the Vermilion, Bayou Teche, the Atchafalaya, the Boeuf, Bayou Lafourche, the Courtableau River, Bayou D'Arbonne, the Macon River, the Tensas, Amite River, the Tchefuncte, the Tickfaw, the Natalbany River, and a number of other smaller streams, constituting a natural system of navigable waterways, aggregating over 4,000 miles long.
The state also has political jurisdiction over the approximately 3-mile -wide portion of subsea land of the inner continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. Through a peculiarity of the political geography of the United States, this is substantially less than the 9-mile -wide jurisdiction of nearby states Texas and Florida, which, like Louisiana, have extensive Gulf coastlines.
The southern coast of Louisiana in the United States is among the fastest-disappearing areas in the world. This has largely resulted from human mismanagement of the coast (see Wetlands of Louisiana). At one time, the land was added to when spring floods from the Mississippi River added sediment and stimulated marsh growth; the land is now shrinking. There are multiple causes.
Artificial levees block spring flood water that would bring fresh water and sediment to marshes. Swamps have been extensively logged, leaving canals and ditches that allow salt water to move inland. Canals dug for the oil and gas industry also allow storms to move sea water inland, where it damages swamps and marshes. Rising sea waters have exacerbated the problem. Some researchers estimate that the state is losing a landmass equivalent to 30 football fields every day. There are many proposals to save coastal areas by reducing human damage, including restoring natural floods from the Mississippi. Without such restoration, coastal communities will continue to disappear. And as the communities disappear, more and more people are leaving the region. Since the coastal wetlands support an economically important coastal fishery, the loss of wetlands is adversely affecting this industry.
The Gulf of Mexico 'dead zone' off the coast of Louisiana is the largest recurring hypoxic zone in the United States. It was 8,776 square miles in 2017, the largest ever recorded. thats all. thanks for listening. please subscribe for the best maps and for the love of louisiana. goodbye. #mapschool #maps #mapas #louisiana #luisiana

Road Trip #357 - US Highway 190 West - LA-113/Reeves to LA-110/Longville, Louisiana
We continue west on US-190, beginning at Reeves, Louisiana in Allen Parish. On this strech of road, we see about 10 miles without any major crossroads, and we also run into some bad weather with dark skies and a brief rain shower. On the way, we enter Beauregard Parish. As we approach the junction of US-171 at Ragley, some ambiguous signage led us to believe that US-190 followed a different path from US-171, and we missed our turn. Once we corrected this and headed north on the concurrency of US-190 and US-171, the weather cleared up and we actually had some good lighting, with the sun behind us. We conclude at the census designated place of Longville.

2011 Summer Trip Day 01
Started the trip later, I left out of Houston Texas around 1:00 PM after finishing my to do's.
Ran straight down Highway I-10 to Beaumont, Texas and hopped on Highway 287 to US 96 and over to Louisiana on Highway 363/190.
Stopped for Lunch In Deridder Louisiana at Cecil's and had a great burger.
I continued on Highway 112 and after Sugartown Louisiana the road was closed and I had to detour around to Elizabeth Louisiana and Jumpped on Highway 10 to Oakdale Louisiana, Then headed North on Highway 165 to Alexandrea Louisiana where I found a local hotel and called it a night.

After watching the video I see have a lamp shade for a hat.
