Food Deserts are the Fruit of Democrat Policies – Flopping Aces

iots have a way of destroying more than just the buildings that go up in flames. They rip the hearts out of a community, something that often takes years or decades to repair.

Riots, however, are just one way a community can be destroyed. Another, far more insidious, is common crime. While with riots everyone can point to the damage and clamor for rebuilding, with common crime, once the window is replaced or the body chalk is washed away the neighborhood looks exactly the same as it did before.

But of course, it’s not the same. From citizens being scared to walk down the street to kids having to dodge junkies as they walk to school to upstanding members of the community not visiting certain neighborhoods – and not spending money there – the fear of violence has devastating consequences on any community.

Food deserts are one of those consequences. Retailers are typically not charities. They exist to make money. When violence, security costs and shoplifting make it so they can’t make money, they usually close. Hence, when all the food stores close, you have said “food deserts”.
