Brandon Johnson and his ilk have it backwards — it’s the lawlessness that’s the cause of the food deserts, not the other way around.
Urban progressives’ treatment plans for their self-inflicted wounds are always some toxic combination of too simplistic and too roundabout.The retailers released boilerplate, euphemistic statements to explain their choices.
“As we continue to position Whole Foods Market for long-term success, we regularly evaluate the performance and growth potential of each of our stores,” stated the latter before lamenting its “difficult decision” to shutter its shops. One can’t fault these stores for avoiding the ridiculous political maelstrom that would no doubt engulf them were they to plainly state this truth; after all, the Windy City’s own voters and mayor themselves flatly refuse to acknowledge reality.
“We know access to grocery stores is already a challenge for many residents, especially on the South and West sides,” acknowledged Johnson in a statement before insisting his administration would pursue “innovative, whole-of-government approaches to address these inequities.” Breaking down its performance in more disparate areas, Chicago ranked 129th for its economy and dead last — 149 out of 149 — in financial stability.
What’s ultimately to blame for this doomed, “innovative” , whole-of-bad-government approach besides terrible economic theory is an unwillingness to confront the anchors tied around a great American city’s ankles.
