And CVS also has another unfair advantage over pleasant pops- most of CVS’ profit comes from their prescription drug business, and most of the goods they sell are just loss leaders.

So our messed up insurance system, which funnels profit to big health companies, also advantages CVS unfairly over local businesses.

It cannot possibly be anything other than market urbanism at work.

Score another victory for Vibrant Urbanist Smart Growth!

The highest form of urbanism is two drug stores on every block. Just look at Duane Reade in NYC as the model.
