Only stores heavily subsidized by the government stores can sort of do business in these habitats.
A private enterprise will seek to get as far away from such environments as possible, so as to be able to make an acceptable profit margin.
Not so, CVS does business there, they just up the prices to reflect increased shrinkage. That’s been the case for years with package stores.
Segments of the black community view the dearth of businesses, restaurants, grocery stores, retail, etc. in many parts of their communities as racism, but it is nothing of the sort.
Retails which often operate on small margins, can’t just write off the extra money needed for security to protect against burglaries in addition to physical security such as gates and other measures that cost real money.
Instead of putting up with it, they just go find greener pastures, or they never go in those neighborhoods to begin with.
And that, to some people, is racism. I call it sensible business.
Chinese and Koreans get sucked into serving these neighborhoods believing in the American Dream. In this case I think the ferals came from another part of Boston. Roslindale is more blue collar white and Hispanic. I think there is a nearby school that caters to the BLM replacements.
Yes, and then they’re called racist for leaving and creating a ‘food desert.’
