The “you didn’t build that” consortium will reduce your grocery store to a pile of rubble in under 2 years.

Question: the motives of LA city council - why would the council then refer to this neighborhood as a “food desert” and pay Numero Uno to build a store on this lot?
Explanation: 3/4 of a mil of OPM to give their cronies.
