If the community isn’t ready to be involved in redevelopment quickly development corps will move in to do it for them. Essentially they will prey on people desparte for cash to move on.
The community needs to be a strong early voice in establishing the vision for redevelopment.
If you look at Lahaina as an example the governor banned unsolicited real estate offers in the wake of their fire. They have also had record real estate transactions in 2024 as a huge shift in land ownership occurs as part of the rebuild. Shock doctrine is in effect, while people are concerned with it being too early others will move in quickly to leverage the situation.
