Hey, WFD: I'm happy for you. That's great that you're content with what you get where you get it. But that doesn't change the basis of the effort to want to get a grocery store into the downtown: many people would prefer something they're familiar with, something akin to what they're used to. Why does this seem to raise such ire? If it happens, in whatever manifestation it's fated to, if you end up not wanting to shop there...

...don't. Simple as that.

This is all about *options*. And the one that many want, isn't there. It's pretty black-and-white, regardless of how you want to insist that labelling the geographical area as it currently stands a 'food desert' is all 'nonsense'.

I guess, as you've indicated in your response, and as Moylek admitted that he found it 'highly-loaded', the term itself may be at the heart of your reaction. Which quite frankly, makes me wonder where we are as a city if a single term of reference can get people riled up during a discussion. How are we going to deal with the more substantive issues when we can't even get along in dealing with the hypotheticals...?
