[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a new problem.  Food deserts are a real problem, and then this is the flip side.

I wish I had a solution.[/quote]

The solution is for the people in that food desert to get their neighbors to stop shoplifting and robbing the places they count on for food. [/quote]

Exactly. I have very little sympathy for this issue. The article states that shoplifting and the inability to keep reliable staff is the biggest hurdle to opening more grocery stores. That is a self induced problem that can only be fixed within the culture, not by posting a million cops and whining about racism. [/quote]

So you expecting the law abiding citizens in these neighborhoods to stop crime, not the police?  This is ridiculous.  I am not sure what the solution is but I am sure it is not asking someone who is stuck in a cycle of poverty to police their neighbors.

At first I thought the comment about the food card and revoking the ability to shop if caught shoplifting was odd but then I remembered I am a Costco member and I pay $55 a year for the privilege of being treated like a shop lifter and having my bag checked when I leave. So maybe it isn't so out there.
