To woo a new supermarket to South Los Angeles, city leaders offered up roughly two acres of city land for a single dollar - and proposed to sweeten the deal with $750,000 in federal funds to spruce up the site.
The grocery store business is concerned about parking, safety concerns, and traffic safety in getting the delivery trucks in and out.
But academically trained urban planners know better. It is apparently better to have a vacant lot, than to have a grocery store in the neighborhood.

Sounds like the city councilman was just looking to create more opportunities for the predators in his district.
Grocery stores "tend to believe, rightly or wrongly, that they need a certain number of parking spaces in front to succeed," Rosenfeld said
Uh, do you know the reason that they think this, genius? Because they DO need a certain number of parking spaces to succeed! They aren't stupid. Parking is one of the most absolutely critical elements of any project that isn't in a wealthy, downtown residential or business district of a city. They need the car traffic to survive. Yet this Rosenfeld is smarter than the guys who do this for a living.
>>Grocery stores “tend to believe, rightly or wrongly, that they need a certain number of parking spaces in front to succeed,” Rosenfeld said. “They don’t always want what an academically trained urban planner would want.<<
Rightly of Wrongly?????
If I didn’t know that was real, I would swear this was from the Onion.
If the business is wrong they cease to exist. If an academic idiot is wrong, he gets promoted through longevity.
Unspoken: "Whereas we, as government busybodies, know EVERYONE'S business best"
I wouldn’t even drive through here during the day! really bad neighborhood..
Won’t shoppers come on high speed rail and the hyperloop?

Fully that supermarket people would believe they know their business better than gov't people, particularly gov't people coming out of South Los Angeles. And that's another thing I love about. 94th and Broadway would be considered South-Central Los Angeles to anyone who has visited that area. It is north of the 105 and south of the LAPD's 77th St. Division which is also located on Broadway. In another words, not a good area. The only non-residential properties located in that area are motels, liquor stores, churches and mortuaries.
You can always tell a Libtard.
But you can’t tell him much.

Only if highly trained academics design them.
There is already a Numero Uno at 91st and Figuroa, 2 blocks West and 3 blocks North of this location.
I predict if Sanders is elected, one of the things we’ll see is “Bernie-Marts”, government-run stores in disadvantaged neighborhoods.
“Other areas such as Culver City set standards for new development, she said. “Are we saying that South L.A. shouldn’t have a say?”
Suit yourself.
You must be a racist thinking that poor minorities should walk five extra blocks to get their necessities. < / sarcasm >
Doesn’t look like an area concerned about managing to “reflect a truer Mission style or Craftsman style” - more like just getting a concrete box store built would be achievement enough.
“There is already a Numero Uno at 91st and Figuroa, 2 blocks West and 3 blocks North of this location.”
Probably a couple blocks longer than they could expect to get in that bad a neighborhood.
>it sharply opposed moving the building because it would create “a hiding space for criminal activity.”
Idiots. Then police your Dindu Nuffins and illegals.
Let Kobe Bryant build there. He’s got lots of money.
