It's sort of hard to say how it will all play out but so far so good. Lumumba is out. That alone is good news.

Horhn was backed by business and in his acceptance speech:

“Change, change, change,” Horhn shouted after winning the runoff at his victory gathering. “People want better leadership, better roads, better streets, less potholes, less crime, more opportunities. But more than anything else, they want to bring our city together.”

Meanwhile Lumumba who is under federal indictment left the stage saying:

“And I want to be clear. I want to be clear and make it clear that I am not guilty of any crime. I’m not guilty of bribery. I’m not guilty of a quid pro quo. And I want to be clear in that,”

Jackson is beyond repair

Jackson is not beyond repair. 12 years of inept leadership followed by eight years of corrupt leadership did quite the number but Jackson has good bones.

Downtown area is clean. Just empty.
Fondren area has some great restaurants and entertainment.
Belhaven/medical corridor has improved since CCID was expanded.
North Jackson has some resemblance of industry, but too many empty buildings. Got to get some investment back in the city.
Eastover/Ridgewood has some great homes. If crime gets under control, those homes will move fast as people look for bargains.

Bukele had an easier job than Horhn has.
