[The residents want to blame everyone but their own community.]
That is correct.
In these areas, more than half the time the food and merchandise never enter the building. It is stolen straight as it comes off the truck by employees and their cohorts waiting for the truck in the neighborhood..
This was a complaint of Walmart and other businesses in Indy who shut down stores in neighborhoods like this.
Some built those stores in a revitalize campaign and were repaid by being robbed blind.
Yep. Things won’t get better for them until they do.
