Where the private market doesn't provide a grocery store, City Hall opens one. Groceries as public infrastructure. A good thing or a bad thing? IDK what to think.

I have a hard time seeing how remedying the problem of a food desert would be a bad thing. The damage to people's health of a food desert is extraordinary. If you need to look at it as the associated health costs, fine. Good thing.

For sure, definitely a good thing that they did it. The question is whether we should be more happy that they did it... or unhappy that a government had to open a supermarket so people can eat. That's not supposed to, um, be an active area of market failure is it?

Municipal markets are not exactly a new idea.

Government-run farms worked so well in Eurasia last century, let’s experiment with that too while we’re at it!

Definitely think it's bad to need to do this. The question is what's the alternative...

Tough call. That withdrawal is likely a symptom of a larger problem. If groceries-as-public-infra are treated as a stopgap measure until the root cause is resolved that would be ideal. Unfortunately, stopgaps remove the problem's urgency so it's left unchecked until it blows up.

Truth. I think the nuance is probably where the right answer lies... like I'd love a plan for how they'd have a private market solution come to town...

Sheesh with the amount we subsidize farming in America you think we’d be interested in selling those goods in our own economy

the best would be if government incentivized or even taught community members to found their own stores so they could build private, small-town wealth through owning a business. But if this was the only way to feed people, had to be done.
