Retired white people maintain their homes which is why their neighborhoods look nice. Painting, roof repairs, trees trimmed etc, doesn't come cheap. Responsible people make the repairs even if it means less party time.
After 'the black community' lives in a place long enough it'll start looking like crap... (yes, I know there are exceptions, but not as many as people think) so the ' 'black community burn down a few buildings, threatens homeowners and voilà white people move out - leaving nicely maintained homes. While the first white people escaping still get fairly good money for their homes, the later white people will be giving their homes away to get out of the the hellhole. Or worse, they won't have enough money to leave and will live out their lives in fear of being robbed, beaten up, etc...
After ten years, the place starts to look like the usual black hellhole - then rinse and repeat. Burn down a few buildings... start the process over.
Not only do property values drop, but property taxes drop as the homes become worthless ...It's a sweet financial deal for the 'black community'...
To be fair, white people do a similar scam with 'gentrification' where white people move in and property values go up... which causes black people to sell their homes because the profit is so high... Early homes are bought cheap and sold high.
I feel sorry for anyone who retired to Minneapolis - my only advice is to move quickly. When they tell you to 'hang tough and stay and it'll be OK' - they lie. Check out all the other cities where this has happened. White people who stay will lose everything.
When riots trashed and burned 14th St in Washington, DC after MLKjr's assassination, it took literally decades to rebuild. Given today's much more socialist government, it's not hard to predict that a billion taxpayer dollars will be funneled into Mnpls. But if they send the money too soon, it, too, will be completely and immediately wasted instead of just eventually wasted if they send it after five or ten years.
