Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the courtrooms in Baltimore…

You may be forgiven if you’d thought that the entire Freddie Gray saga was in our collective rear view mirror at this point. It’s been a couple of years now. Most of the damage from the riots has been cleaned up. The trials of the police officers involved (at least those that made it as far as trial before being abandoned) are long since over. So what’s left to debate?

From the article: 

More than 380 businesses, including many located south of North Avenue in West Baltimore, were damaged or destroyed. Property losses were estimated at nearly $13 million.

Thirteen million? That's under $35,000 a business. That seems like a pretty lowball average, considering there were a lot of buildings destroyed. Or are those just the sixty or so who are suing? (That would make the average around 220K, which seems closer to the mark.)
