Personally I would like to see people working, living, & prospering in, overall, safe & ordered communities. Most of what I have observed & researched in my life is of planned, older cities in progressive deterioration.
Almost every time there are upheavals, cities never recover and the conditions that perpetuate unemployment, crime, poverty etc. become systemic. The social fabric is shot & eventually law enforcement deteriorates too. Cities like Baltimore, Detroit, Trenton, NJ, Camden, NJ, Chester, PA, Harrisburg, PA, Wilmington, DE, Washington DC, Easton, PA, large sections of Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, Syracuse, NY, Providence RI, Hartford, CT, Pittsburgh, York, Pa, New Haven, CT, Binghamton, NY, Wilkes-Barre, PA etc. etc. With the exception of Detroit, I have mentioned places I have personally seen decayed or sinking into decay within my limited regional home area of the Middle Atlantic States & southern New England. I know, nationally, it’s even worse of course.
For 50 years this process has been going on the limited vicinity I have seen. Who wants to see anyone living in such horrible conditions? At least when I was younger the suggested remedies were based on building community & creating jobs.
Whatever happens though I guess we just have to try live out our faith. The radical secularists ( not most secularists) will say our charity & prayers are whatever derisive expletives they seem to like using. “Change not charity” like those wretched experiments of Mao, Stalin, Mengistu (in 1980s Ethiopia), Pol Pot in Cambodia, Venezuela, the destruction of Tibet, etc. etc. are recycled toxins touted as “solutions”.
