enter another kind of "urban renewal", gentrification, etc. Such a great way to launder money, too. Soon liberal hipsters will move in, get all kinds of grants and low interest loans, expensive condos, trendy cafes. This happens in waves. Let the pawns do the destruction, let the money pour in from "do gooders" who will make inspiring speeches about "building back better", get some tricky accountants and regulations that are mountains of bureaucratic paperwork hire more bureaucrats, money just pours in, and lo and behold, a gentrified neighborhood raises the rents. It's how it goes, all a game, all planned. And they never figure out how bad they've been played.
