[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A trade of Pleasant Pops for a CVS is a bad trade for the area. For workers and for consumers. And CVS also has another unfair advantage over pleasant pops- most of CVSâ 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.[/quote] It cannot possibly be anything other than market urbanism at work. [/quote] Smart Growth favors national chains over small independently owned businesses.[/quote] Yup, it's definitely not the NIMBYs who oppose housing, which raises rents, and pushes out local biz. For sure.[/quote]
