One good way to predict the future of cities is by understanding the insurance industry. What insurance company would sell affordable insurance policies to a business in the current or future "protest zone" of an urban area? And what bank gives that business a loan?

States/municipalities can't afford & aren't in the insurance business. That's why it took 10 years for businesses to return after the LA riots & also in Detroit. Unstable communities are high risk. If they are willing to burn their own community down, can't invest/insure.

The Feds back up a lot of crappy insurance schemes, but all for natural disasters, like floods and hurricanes, but in this instance, I think they should refuse to backstop a self-imposed disaster which could easily be avoided by enforcement of existing laws.

How many of these places had "developers" with big designs for them? How many members of congress would it take to pass an Bee ell emm renewal project that funds those projects in places already serendipitously deconstructed?
