Unfortunately, I must also consider all available information. From what we've seen, Happy Harbor is still devastated. Or at least it looked the same as it did before. The ash was the only difference. So I am forced to admit that something else must have happened. It was still devastated because the Reach Apocalypse had not yet been averted. All they had done at that point it prevent Neutron from killing Flash, which obviously wasn't good enough. That reveal at the end was just supposed to cue the audience in that Impulse's mission had failed. But with the Reach stopped and Jaime freed from their control, there's little to no reason to think the future would be that dystopic.
