And, like clockwork, clueless federal, state and local politicians will start talking about the need to bring new businesses and investment to inner city Baltimore as a way to rebuild and provide jobs. What they won’t admit is that no business is going to set up shop in an area where there is a risk of being destroyed by riots.
Why set up shop where you are not wanted, respected, and have an ability to be prosperous? Why go where they will steal you blind with shrinkages of 15% or more? Where one needs to offer security escort to customers out to their cars?
These are not racist concerns, they are community concerns. The community cannot and will not recover until a moral change of heart occurs.
50 years after the Watts riots there are still areas that have not been rebuilt.
This, in the California real estate market
“”””no business is going to set up shop in an area where there is a risk of being destroyed by riots.””””
Even if some clueless liberal sets up shop, no insurance company in their right mind would insure them.
