I never said that there should not be another grocery store downtown. I merely stated that there is no "food desert." There just is not enough money downtown to support a Metro, Fortino's or Sobey's style store. I cannot imagine that kind of store spending the amount of money required to open another branch in the core when it is doomed to failure. The vast majority of people with a large disposable income live in the burbs. Hence that is where the stores who rely on that kind of base locate. It is simple economics. If you disagree then you are free to put your money where your mouth is and open a large grocery store downtown or anywhere else. The absence of large grocery store downtown is not part a some collusion or conspiracy it is the manifestation of sound economic principals.
