Longterm the Baton Rouge protests will affect BR real estate and investment

Here's what Baton Rouge can expect longterm regarding media's support of the BLM protests that will likely occur for months:
1: The media will cover this for weeks or months and drag Baton Rouge's reputation thru the mud.
2: The protests will likely occur in a small area of the city that does not represent the city as a whole, but the media narrative and images will give the false impression that Baton Rouge is a shithole full of thugs when in fact most BLM protesters will be from out-of-area.
3: The constant negative protests will be bad for the BR real estate and commercial investment market. People with the financial means to quickly move away from Baton Rouge will do so. They'll move far enough away where they'll be shielded from the coming BR property stigma. Essentially white flight (including successful blacks) will occur.
4: As property value plummets, lower/middle class will fill the void and buy property. Defaults will occur and vacant property will rise. Commercial exodus will exceed commercial investment.
5: Ten to 15 years from now once nice areas of Baton Rouge will be populated by a lower class devoid of financial means to maintain property - property value will further plummet.
6: Crime will rise.
Remember, before the Ferguson protests Ferguson was actually a decent area populated by middle class whites and blacks. It was one of the safer best maintained areas for blacks to escape inner city problems.
People in Ferguson are now having a hard time selling their homes because of the racial stigma associated with that area. In fact, people across the entire county (North County) are experiencing the same issue. It's because the media falsely paints a picture that the entire St. Louis area looks like the one mile strip in Ferguson where the riots took place.
BLM protests in Baton Rouge will be very harmful to the local economy, especially the longer the media focuses on the protests.

Want to know how I know you've never been to Baton Rouge?

You could use a timeout

Will this all rejuvenate the St. George talks or is that completely dead.

Why would real talk result in a timeout? What did I post that was offensive?

It's funny watching this guy speak so definitively on so much shite that he doesn't have a single clue about.

So I have no clue even though I drive thru the Ferguson area once per month and have family that live in North County who are experiencing the Ferguson effect every day?
How is Baton Rouge different?
Son, the Ferguson effect is coming to Baton Rouge.

I can't put into words for much you suck

And you clearly can't type either. LOL

Seriously, you need to take a break or just go away..

It never ceases to amaze me how much time you spend trying to get a rise out of people. These are not similar cities, our police force isn't a pussy fest that allows these thugs to burn the city down, and you are an instigating piece of shite

What have I even done wrong? What is offensive?

Literally in every way possible.

How is BR and North County St Louis not similar? Why do you think BR will escape all the issues Ferguson experienced?
The protests are starting to look just like STL protest before the acquittal. It was only after the officer's acquittal that protesters became rioters.
Pray your officers are charged or I fear full blown riots are coming to BR.
