Unknown at this time. I’m pretty sure it’s going to resemble a less populated, dirtier version of Mexico City when everything is over at the least.

I left l.A. back in 1978 when the L.A. County Sheriffs started having food control riots.
All water and food is shipped in to southern calif.
When the big one hits look out.

Riverside County.

Obviously the police had no illusions that the motives of the demonstrators were to be peaceful. They told all the business owners downtown to clear out.

They are creating a Republican majority.

When the Reseda earth quake hit it took down overpasses and made freeways worthless. A relatively weak one.
All south calif. water comes from 300 miles to the north via an aquaduct and the food other than citrus comes from the central valley.
Train tracks, roads, aquaducts etc would not work.

Trump just has to keep doing what he is doing: “I have the answer - call me when you are ready for it.”

Democrat mayors and governors look stupider by the day.

You nailed it. In previous riots MLK and Rodney King, the rich shopping areas and multi millon $ homes/businesses were spared.

This is not happening now. Everything is now a potential target around big liberal cities including LA.

The rich Californian must have had some intel re Antifa and large scale riots. Property values from Monterey increased during the Covin 19 bs. Now we may know why.

The first purpose of every government is to protect the lawful from the lawless.

Without protection from criminals, and considering the enormous taxation, there isn’t any justification to live in such jurisdictions.

Civilization is so very delicate. I wish politicians would treat them as such.

The politicians are so stupid that they allow their own state buildings to get trashed.

Even a dumb dog knows not to poop where it lives.

Voters left behind in cities will be a combination of the indigent, immigrants working in low-end jobs, the young, and the woke. These people will vote for a hard-left agenda focusing on aid to the poor, forgiveness for criminals, hatred of the rich,

On the lighter brighter side all the scumbags that looted and burned the city will have access to some really beautiful apartment - REALLY CHEAP. And since the place will be a 'hellhole in process' taxes on these soon to be dumps will be low. In five years the 'better' neighborhoods will be slums. You always wanted to live in a million dollar home but could only afford a $40,000 place? well, you're in luck - the million dollar pad is selling cheap...

Salons are essential businesses for the female species.

I’m surprised any politician survives after shutting them down.
