it's now obvious that investing in american cities (especially blue ones), is a losing financial proposition AND dangerous one. blue mayors and governors refuse to protect their populations with police stand downs and no guard call up

Having a hyphen at the end of your name... I read your comment several times trying to figure out why you were being down-voted.
Black Lives Matter = Democrat Slaves
No bailouts! Stand firm!
will be like Bladerunner cities...... major corporations that operate there will have their own private security..... the rest of it will be squalor
Nope. They will just steal our tax money to rebuild them.
regardless, if i were a businessman, i wouldn't touch the inner blue state cities with a 10' pole. this WILL reverberate nation wide.
I hope you're right, but I'll bet every one of these cities starts some kind of new "community reinvestment fund" within the next three months. Our tax money and foreign money will pour in. Developers with the best city connections, in other words the most shady and corrupt developers, will get sweetheart deals on loans and outright grants. They will start projects that never get finished. The money will find it's way straight back into the community agitators pockets. The simple fucks who are looting and burning shit will be right back on the street in a few years doing the same thing because nothing will have changed for them.
Sorry. I'm feeling a bit down about America at the moment. I think I'm gonna sign off for the rest of the day. I need to recharge my positive attitude because Barr and Wray just sucked the last ounce out of me.
You are somewhat describing what Trump implemented already with the Opportunity zones. Well.....They just burned that bridge. We are going to see some crazy shit because these communities will no longer have stores or business anywhere near them. They already had very few. They will now have zero. Now...this will cause them to move or travel to other parts of town that still have business and stores. Will communities fight back once these people start to swarm in? I guess we will see.
Trump is exactly the kind of person they want prevent from ever happening again
too much realistic thinking is bad for your mental health. Sometimes it's better to force yourself to believe the beautiful lie
Democrats see Detroit as their utopia of social justice.
Cities are increasingly unnecessary, and covid proved it. Since a lot of people can live at home and still complete their job, why do we need to live in the same place?
You like the beach? Move to a remote beach.
You like Mountains? We have many, pick one.
You like big horizons? Get thee to Montana.
Fuck ubania
I think it will be insanely wealthy people who can pay for private security and thugs...normal people are done.
Usually, the Federal government could step in with loans. Covid-19 has drained much of any money they could give.
Now the US can just print money, and maybe should. I am torn on if any federal money should go to these areas that are under Democratic party control.
Money could be found by tracking down the sources of the funding for these violent acts. In addition, all violent protestors should have 10,000 hours minimum of community service, along with other punishments. They should be required to clean up and fix all damage they caused.
However, if we are unable to do something these regions will suffer terribly economically.
Real Estate is getting calls from people from NYC like crazy looking for apartments in suburbs
And then they're going to complain about how they've been ignored.
Yeah, ugly times ahead.
All cities are blue, some are just bluer. And never fear, they will raise taxes across the board and funnel money into our "cultural centers." If private investment fails, it will simply move to public ones. Gotta have Potemkin villages to showcase our civilization's greatness
regardless no business invester in their right mind will touch these areas now. if they raise taxes more they will have a further drain of the middle class
Perhaps we will see less Chocom money laundered?
Cities are economic powerhouses. If they fall, so does the rest of the nation
