Walmart will always angle for a tax break. There's probably another shitty enterprise zone within a couple miles they want to move to.

"But I live in a food desert!!!!"
Fuck you. People in Appalachia often have a tiny market for an area the size of Minneapolis, but don't burn it down. Talk to them about a food desert and mention white privilege while you're at it. BTW, if businesses came in and took advantage of the downturn (that the mob created), they'd howl that the neighborhoods were being "gentrified" and driving out the poor minorities. Fuck I hate the left. |

Manufacturer that burned as Minneapolis protests turned violent plans to relocate from city
'They didn't protect our people,' 7-Sigma owner says of city officials. A Minneapolis manufacturing company has decided to leave the city, with the company's owner saying he can't trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots. The move will cost the city about 50 jobs. "They don't care about my business," said Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc., which has operated since 1987 at 2843 26th Av. in south Minneapolis. "They didn't protect our people. We were all on our own." Wyrobek said the plant, which usually operates until 11 p.m., shut down about four hours early on the first night of the riots because he wanted to keep his workers out of harm's way. He said a production supervisor and a maintenance worker who live in the neighborhood became alarmed when fire broke out at the $30 million Midtown Corner affordable housing apartment complex that was under construction next door. "The fire engine was just sitting there," Wyrobek said, "but they wouldn't do anything."  The city's first survey of property damage shows that nearly 1,000 commercial properties in Minneapolis were damaged during the riots, including 52 businesses that were completely destroyed and 30 other locations that sustained severe damage. Owners and insurance experts estimate the costs of the damage could exceed $500 million. That would make the Twin Cities riots the second-costliest civil disturbance in U.S. history, trailing only those in Los Angeles in 1992, which were also sparked by racial tensions with police and had $1.4 billion in damages in today's dollars. https://www.startribune.com/manufacturer-that-burned-during-mpls-riots-plans-to-move-out-of-the-city/571104922/?refresh=true |

It doesn't take much to stimulate Wal-Mart to pull out of an area.
My little shitty home town in AR had a WM when I was a kid. Their loss prevention couldn't get on top of the theft because the employees stole more shit than the "shoppers." They shut it down and the building sat empty. |

no fucks given.
the city gov allows the city to burn, then complains about business not rebuilding. Fuck them and the people that voted for them. We are going to see the cities decay like they did after the 1968 riots. That is how we got shithole cities full of crime and poverty of the 1970s and 1980s. Then in the 1990s, people voted for more law and order governments and money was dumped in to revitalize the cities. All that has just been undone. And is only just beginning. People with the means will move away from the city and businesses will close due to people with money moving out. Crime will go up and more will move away. People will no longer visit the city for upscale restaurants and museums. Cities will steadily decline just like after the 1968 riots, for decades. And the cities let it happen, so fuck them, they will continue to burn and rot and I don't give a fuck. |

Another page in the cycle of urban renewal in the age when there is no Robert Moses bulldozing swaths through poorer sections of the cities to allow new development to take place. If they can't evict the residents and bulldoze in the name of progress, they get rioters to burn those neighborhoods and the bulldozers will soon follow. Multi-billion dollar skyscrapers to be erected within a decade.
I imagine a new Cat product will soon appear for the job the riots have started, the D-24. Big enough to knock down apartment buildings without breathing hard while the operator rides in a comfortable, bullet proof, fire resistant cab protected from the elements and "dynamic protest actions" that residents of the areas being bulldozed. |

While I agree that rebuilding in the shitholes is a bad idea, that means the thugs will be coming to a Walmart near you. And maybe going outside their AO to burn down businesses in the “privileged” areas, next time a convicted felon jailbird saint gets killed in another altercation with the law.

If they do rebuild it should be smaller stores, spread out more and with limited inventory. That should limit the damage from riot hotspots. Of course, that might not be profitable enough. I guess time will tell.
I think we're going to start seeing more private, armed security at these large stores in major cities. And prices will rise at all stores to cover it. Maybe that's where all the out of work cops will be able to find new dental plans. |

The businesses will fly to the suburbs and the city officials will scream racism the entire time. Yeah you're only choice would be to self insure or have an ironclad contract with the city,county,state to take care of all your loses due to the area you have your business in...including theft...or fear of the area keeping customers away... |

Quoted: Theres not much to pack up when YOUR rioters burn it all down And you wonder why the inner cities keep getting worse? If you burn it down, why rebuild? Read up on Ferguson, the city council approved more applications for liquor stores than grocery stores, and did nothing to recruit more or keep an even balance. If all you got is a liquor store but you have to take public transportation to buy food miles away, how's that gonna work out? So, if Chicago can't keep larger retailers open, they shut down, no more tax revenues, who pays for the bus to even get there? It's a constant spiral into the toilet with these leaders. And they don't care as long as you keep voting them in. Nothing has gotten better for 50 years. Nothing. I’m in my 50’s and my mom told me something when I was a teenager that’s stuck with me forever. She said that “Democrats don’t know how to lift anyone up, they just know how to drag everyone down.” She also said that the road to ruin was paved with good intentions. |

They'll adjust the product mix in consumables so that 99% of the shit qualifies for "Swipe Yo EBT," AND (big surprise coming!) they'll jack the prices on that same shit to HIGHER than they are in their stores in high income areas. Then, if they keep at least some semblance of a lid on day to day shoplifting, with tax incentives they can still come out net positive cash flow. EBT is corporate welfare for Walmart, Kroger, Coca Cola, Pepsi Co, Frito Lay, Hershey's, etc. etc. etc. |

I'm guessing we're about to see a shitload of bank failures in the very near future. Commercial real estate is definitely taking a beating. As people who purchased ridiculously expensive homes in the cities (looking at you, Seattle) watch their property values plummet and they let them go into forclosure, we'll see a repeat of 2008 as well. Stay frosty.
