[quote=Anonymous]I live in Portland and gentrification of that neighborhood has been a problem for years. also, there are several other grocery stores within a one mile radius and the neighborhood doesn't really need another. There are other much more underserved good desserts in the city that would benefit by a store moving in. A local chain called New Seasons just opened a store close to where the TJs would have gone and they hired from the neighborhood. It's the most diverse store I've been in. (Though Portland has a whole has a low black population.) But, there are developers putting in New apartments left and right in that area and rents are generally starting at $950 for a small studio. Not very affordable, but then Portland hasn't been affordable for decades. I agree with the protesters in this particular case. [/quote]
