[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in San Francisco, There's an area called Hunter's Point/Bayview, and there weren't any real grocery stores.  Food desert.  What eased the burden?  Train line from there into an area with grocery stores.  [/quote]

Some people take the green line to the Safeway at Southwest Waterfront because it's better but having to travel to shop costs money too.

But ultimately the stores need help, and those communities need help to become more stable and reliable.

Speaking of the Safeway at Southwest Waterfront, they have shoplifting issues as well.  The CVS nearby is often a focal point for neighborhood kids, there is often a large group of Jefferson students waiting outside their door every morning because they only let one or two kids in at a time to cut down on shoplifting.  Often you will also see an MPD cruiser and several cops strategically placed there as well.  We can't have kids growing up thinking it's OK to shoplift, but I don't think that message actually gets through.[/quote]
