Trump: Empire Builder?

A lot of people lived in makeshift shelters shortly after the bombing of Hiroshima while they rebuilt the city., It's nuclear accidents that prevent you from living in an area long term.

I could live next to my destroyed house if I had to, if I had access to what I needed. I'd still be worried about increased cancer risk over the long term. You just won't die of painful radiation poisoning in a few days.

As long as you stay out of the area the first couple weeks.

Ground blasts give the "nuclear footprint" that is really bad. Most blasts are above ground to maximize effect. The fallout is what gets you. If you don't shelter from it cancer will probably come your way. After cleanup it is probably livable.
