Census data shows that Chicago has 2.77 grocery stores per 10,000 people, which is higher than the 2.24 state average...
https://www.city-data.com/c...inois.html
In comparison, Wilkes has 2.70 grocery stores per 10,000 people, so about the same as Chicago.
So it's not an issue of them not wanting to build there... they do.
The issue is that Chicago is mostly pedestrian, so they need stores within walking distance. This becomes a significant problem when you look at deep poverty areas... stores don't build there because the people can't afford the food.
Which I imagine is why you don't see a Whole Foods in Traphill...

Why don't stores want to operate in Chicago?

I'm guessing the government store stuff will be free to blacks and illegals.

The irony is thick in this thread. Trumpsters want to complain about big government and decry "Communism," while the whole time they've been aggressively demanding... big government and Fascism!
It's almost as if they have no idea what they're talking about...
Regardless, on the topic...
Use the resources that the Government already has, Police and Jail for shoplifters Let's talk about the actual problem, which has nothing to do with shoplifting. The problem is that places like Save a Lot get big subsidies ($13.5 million from Chicago last year) to open stores, then they just don't do it.
Read that again... people could steal food all day long and never pay for a single thing, and they would still make money!
The goal, of course, is to fleece the city. They've already invested $13.5 million, so at the end of the year when the stores aren't open they'll be pushed to invest another $13.5 million... or just let it go and lose the first round of subsidies.
And we know this to be true, because the same thing happens here all the time. And will almost definitely happen with the new county building.
What do you expect the city to do? Wait a year, let people starve to death, and then invest another $13.5 million in 10 months? Or just take that same money to build their own stores now without the scamming?
If there were no grocery stores in Wilkes... not even dollar stores... and you had to drive to Winston or Hickory to get food, would you be arguing that the county should do something about it?
Or is this another case of "different rules for black people?"

Somehow it just doesn't jive with weakest against the wall, devil take the hindmost and pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. Could it be that some of you Trumplicans are coming round to believing that you should be your brothers' keepers? Nah!

Promoting healthy eating and helping businesses (farmers) make more money is hardly a liberal idea

Careful Les. Those liberal ideas could get expelled from the Trumplican/MAGAT party.

A better idea if the government is set on spending money is to open a farmers market and don't charge rent. Chicago residents get healthy food, farmers make a little more money. Win win.

Gascon you might not be allowed in the Government store if you are not vaxed and fully boosted.
I know Antithis would encourage the store to have that policy

I guess they didn't teach political science at f*xxy's private school. By her standards, two of her orange idol's buddies lead communist nations.

I don't know why Democrats would think more Government is a good idea to solve the problem of no grocery stores in the ghetto. Use the resources that the Government already has, Police and Jail for shoplifters

Democrats love this idea.
They think it proves that we need more Socialism since Capitalism failed the residents in Chicago and other Liberal places.

Government run store using tax payer funds to fund it . Shoppers can use taxpayers money to buy groceries. Makes sense.
