Rodatose posted:the reverse of that is gentrification, where richer white people go "hey living in cities is actually more efficient," move back to the cities and as a result poor people get pushed out from rising costs. then poor people are forced into homelessness or to the suburbs where there's nothing in way of funded infrastructure and you get some libertarian ferguson situation where all elected office is a bunch of non-representative whites who deliberately harass, fine and brutalize the non-white population to fund themselves gentrification loving sucks and it has ripple effects on surrounding cities/communities as less wealthy people are pushed out. my city is experiencing this right now as people are fleeing the big city looking for lower cost living, but at the same time raising the cost of living there to the point that livable wages just two years ago even with 'cost of living' raises in the mean time are just paycheck to paycheck now

gentrification is cool when it's urban infill with higher density housing and new transit infrastructure instead of just wealthy people moving in a renovating what's already there and solidifying their nimby strangleholds on existing zoning/density restrictions in order to drive up land value by limiting the housing supply natural disasters can actually facilitate an increase in housing through making this kinda infill easier to accomplish (by damaging and destroying existing structures and allowing for loosened construction restrictions)

Megillah Gorilla posted:How's recovery going in New Orleans? p great actually the feds spent around $20bil on a new system of floodworks to protect it against cat3 storms for the next 150 years which, since the design takes into account sea level rise, means that for the next 70 it should withstand cat5. all that was completed in 2012 it's an extremely important port after all

best part is our governor is a neoliberal rich-boy failson who only got the job because his daddy* was governor in the 90s. He was hoping to bring in charter schools and privatize parts of our public infrastructure. be careful what you wish for bro!!! *Pedro Rosselló; dude's administration was so crooked that his name was synonymous with political corruption for a while

Xelkelvos posted:Procedural in what way? I'm just curious if there's some sort of funny procedural or legal thing that says, for example, a Cat 5 superstorm nailing NYC in December can't be called a hurricane due to it technically falling outside hurricane season so instead it's just the Winter 2018 Nor'easter, or maybe there can't be hurricane chasers during it because we sent them all home for the off-season, etc.
