[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] I live within walking distance of the Minnesota Ave Safeway. There is already a train line that gets you to the Harris Teeter on Potomac Ave (which is far better than the Safeway) but I am a healthy young man with disposable income. Many in my neighborhood are not so lucky. The problems for them are that they either: A) Can't afford the extra $5-6 to ride the Metro every time they need groceries B) Aren't strong or healthy enough to carry a week's worth of groceries with them on the Metro C) Don't have time to take a train ride every time they need groceries D) Any/all of the above. Wards 7 and 8 need convenient, affordable, clean supermarkets, period. Taking the train to pick up a gallon of milk is not the solution. [/quote]
