What you stated seems to be the case. Following from it might be a solid reason to not have grocery stores in those food deserts. It forces those residents into behaviors that are more likely to be positive.

Thanks for the well thought out post.

As a conservative I believe in free will and the individuals’ liberty/responsibility to make correct choices in life.

Thus, when you reference something “forcing” ghetto people into the right choices, it kinda turns my stomach a bit.

Their ability to make the right choices, as a life path, should be determined by their parents when they raise their kids right.

Oh wait, I think we’ve just hit upon the crux of the problem!
