When 50 thousand people were evacuated from the city of Pripyat following the Chernobyl incident in 1986, the Soviet government built an entirely new city, Slavutych in just two years, 50km away, to accommodate those who lost their homes.
From the start, Slavutych was planned to become a "21st-century city". Compared to other cities in Ukraine, Slavutych has a modern architecture with pleasant surroundings, and the standard of living in the city is much higher than in most other Ukrainian cities.
This would be the last city the Soviet Union would ever build. The entire country would collapse in just two years’ time, but they managed to do something like this.
Chernobyl was not the reason for the Soviet collapse, which was primarily driven by political and economic factors (i.e. import of Western liberal ideology).
I’m just saying that even a country with declining economy could manage that, let alone the wealthiest country in the world. It’s a matter of political will.

So if I follow this logic, if the US builds a new city for the displaced victims, it would speed up our nation's collapse? Let's fucking go!
