Would make for an interesting reality/hidden camera show where they go to white liberal areas and ask them to sign up for a program to take in black and Hispanic parolees until they get back on their feet.
This was on full display during Floyd riots. The people cheering on the riots knowing their neighborhoods wouldn’t be affected. Of course you had those who destroyed their own neighborhoods only to complain about food deserts and lack of job opportunities months later
I remember the Chicago grocery stores (Aldi's & Save-a-lots) that pulled out, with the sites being left vacant. I think there's going to be an attempt at a government owned grocery store, (which will be a disaster.)
The ashes often aren't cold before stores choose not to rebuild. Plus, insurance doesn't cover the losses due to shoplifting. Even investing in security can't stanch those losses enough to make these locations turn a profit.
So yes. You're totally right. There are food deserts, and nobody wants to talk about the communal behaviors that make running a grocery store unprofitable. They just want stores to run at a loss forever to 'serve' those areas.
In his book Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell breaks down just how much more stores in high crime areas have to spend. Add to that the fact that the city will have the police stand down should riots erupt over a media approved narrative
They also don't help those stores deal with shoplifting.
I went to a CVS today that had more cameras than London. Still, I don't think the store would do anything if you just walked out with stuff. They clearly have a problem that they're not going to do anything about. They charge enough. Maybe they still make a profit.
The homeless people live outside of CVS, so I suppose they just come in and take what they want. Maybe they pay; people give them money. I also noticed they close at 7. My guess is not many paying customers after dark, given that it's basically a homeless encampment.
Occasionally I see shoplifters post on social media them selling their stolen goods right outside the store. And of course, the communists praise them.
