This. I think of the Seattle chaz bullshite. That looked like a trendy little place to be during normal times. With trendy businesses and apartments. How would it feel if I were 27 years old and living (Houston) in midtown or the Heights or Village? Anyplace cool to be with beer and women. And one day shits burning in front of my complex. The next I have people camped out in front of my place. It would suck to waste a year of that time in my life.

I’d say I would leave, but how do you move out in the middle of a riot?

Folks from Washington correct me if the chaz area was a shithole to begin with.
