Incorpprated is the chartering name of a city. The chamber of commerce has to make that agonizing choice.

Preservation of the core assets and workplaces or save homes and let infrastructures like water and sewage, hospitals an banks, and food stores rather not be swept away.

Sucks yeah but saving the ship and losing a crows nest is how it makes sense

@SteelHands

What may have been allegedly saved by doing that that would not have been replaceable and paid for by insurance?

@jackjjackson Probably so. I guess the bottom line dollar figure could be part of the decision. One thing you can depend on is that the ones making the decision consider restoration time into consideration.

City officials need to explain their reasoning for it. Maybe the news should be pressing this question.
