[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding, "poor neighborhoods" in DC are at this point very fragmented - maybe a 4 or 5 block stretch here and there. And for the few that remain, most are within walking distance of a regular grocery store of some type. The poorest neighborhoods in SW are just a block or two from a beautiful new Safeway. Some of the poorest neighborhoods in Anacostia are near a Giant, et cetera. There are only a handful of smallish areas in DC at this point that might genuinely constitute a "food desert" where there are poor folks who don't have a decent grocery store in walking distance nearby - like near Barry Farm or Deanwood. But for most of DC it's only a food desert if you aren't willing to walk a few blocks - something the rest of us do all the time.[/quote] Southeast is a big area, one grocery store is not going to be easily accessible to everyone.[/quote]
