The plague of NIMBY’s may yield if a real plan is put in place to rebuild better. Vast areas could be rezoned for density. A way of addressing the enormous number of displaced people could also address the largest homeless population in the USA. The city that defines urban sprawl could be redefined. How does this play out?
I think the big shift will come when fireproof buildings are a requirement of the building code, as well as encouraged by insurance policies.
