[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I drove down from NW DC to my office on 14th street today and went right by Lafayette Park on H street.  There is some plywood up downtown on lots (but not all) building windows and a little bit of graffitti (most of that on the plywood) but otherwise things look fine.  It is of course awful for the businesses that suffered significant damage, but the idea that this is similar to what happened in 1968 is simply wrong.  Nothing that has happened so far would take a year to recover from, much less decades.  I do not support looting, but at the same time, I am not losing sleep over the fate of Citibank because some of its windows were broken (and similar things have happened multiple other times during my time in DC without it causing a major disruption of the city).

this.  assuming that there is no more looting, the damage is not that extensive and will be easy to clean up.  there was not destruction/looting in poor neighborhoods.  That said, this certainly didn't help the already-fragile DC economy as we open up again.  Minneapolis and NYC seem like they are more badly impacted by destruction.  [/quote]
