If there are leaders who believe that certain communities are not viable, say that. Don't let these communities or these people waste their time talking about rebuilding or coming back home. That would be extremely unfair.
Oliver Thomas emphasizes the need for transparency from leaders regarding the viability of communities affected by the disaster.

We need to figure out how we sustain this. It's about time that we make our schools better, our criminal justice system work, and our streets safe.
I would like to see the city take all of its capital funds, whatever we have, and just spend it. Get together with non-profits, housing agencies, and let them have it. Let them start rebuilding yesterday.
We need to take a look at the state laws. We need to take a look at the speedy trials of violent offenders. If you use a weapon, the laws ought to be stricter, stronger enforcement.
