Lafayette

Hello. I’m considering moving to Lafayette, it’s not set in stone but considering it. I heard that they aren’t too keen on folks moving down there, not that it would detour me. However, I have children and wouldn’t want them having a hard time settling in. So I’m curious to know if this is true? I remember visiting and having family and friends down that way, and never experienced this. Just want to be sure. If anyone could offer any insight, I would greatly appreciate it.
