Most of this shit will not be reconstructed for a long time. Today’s teenage looters’ kids will be passing by the rubble of the buildings their mommy and daddy burnt down. Just because some business owners will get money from their insurance doesn’t mean they’ll rebuild in the same spot. Most won’t.
When a place becomes too dangerous and unstable, the more affluent people simply move out. Businesses move where the people with the most disposable income reside. This will cause unemployment to skyrocket. It will be much worse because of the economic toll of the covid-19 lockdown. A ridiculous number of businesses will go belly up in the long run. The city will rebuild the bare minimum. With less and less money trickling into the city’s coffers, projects that aren’t absolutely necessary will be put on hold.
A poor city is a city with a poor public education system. The people who could benefit the most from public education, libraries, tax-funded activities for kids and young adults are the very people who are now burning down the city. In the long run, this will make life much harder for the poor.
Rich whiteys and non-ghetto POC will be fine. They’ll move, restart their lives, move on. The nigg.ers are fucked tho.
