[quote=Anonymous]This supermarket has nothing to do with bringing food to poor minority residents and everything to do with gentrification. The area of Atlanta where this grocery store is opening is in the South Downtown area which has seen a surge in commercial and residential development, including upscale condos, hotels, office buildings, and retail spaces. Mercedes Benz stadium is about a mile away. Around 8 years ago the South’s largest homeless shelter- the Peachtree-Pine which housed up to 1,000 homeless on cold winter nights closed under community pressure that theye was a massive of crime around the shelter. So shelter closes, downtrodden forced out, new developments go in, property values increase. Business support this supermarket so they can sell residential properties. All in time for the 8 games Atlanta is hosting for the World Cup next summer at Mercedes benz stadium.[/quote]
