Nonsense. City centers were devastated by city planners in the 50/60s and cities in the US were hurt by zoneing regulation.
In fact, if you have good mixed use cities, your city shouldn't even need much policy in the first place.
Safety doesn't come from policy, but civil society. If you are relaying on policy to operate a basic store in a city you know you have big problems already.
And blaming 'wokeness' for the problems of inner cities in the US is crazy.
- Aloha 4y agoThere is one more fact, grocery stores like large format locations, and those are very hard to find, even the older Safeway 'Marina' style stores (and similar other designs) are too small by modern standards, and both not economical to operate as well as too small to carry the standard product mix.
- anon291 4y agoYeah, I agree we should be reliant mainly on civil society. Unfortunately, moral relativism means we are not allowed to teach civil virtues in public schools. We see moral panic over things like our own government institutions (Smithsonian, for example) labeling virtues such as promptness as relics of colonialism and whiteness. You're not going to be able to have a moral civil society if your ideology associates all virtues with particular races.
