This dude may well get his wish. In other cities which have had riots, sometimes it has taken decades for riot zones to be rebuilt. People like the Baltimore mayor may think well its only property, it can be replaced, etc. But what she and others never think through is exactly who is going to want to rebuild in a riot zone? Also, some property insurance policies have exclusions for damage caused by rioting. So some property owners may not get insurance money to rebuild even if they wanted to. Result will be a part of the city which looks like a war zone today and will still look that way years from now.

My town has a Shop-Rite and a Wal-Mart frequented by many Newark NJ residents; those stores don’t bother trying to operate businesses in Newark. As it is, the Wal-Mart has just become a magnet for shoplifting (and our cops don’t stand for it).

The residents of that area in Baltimore will just be walking further to get their prescriptions (and wigs, apparently - they cleaned that store out as well).

In the seventies I used to take the Amtrak from Newark to Philadelphia. I looked out the window at the North Philadelphia station and thought I was looking at a city that was just bombed during WW2.
