She wants to put some controls on these small stores that she says sell booze, very little food and are the source of trouble in her district.
To be fair, it seems to be targeting ghetto liquor stores, which can be fairly problematic. Although, forcing them to expose themselves to the drunken niggers seems like an underhanded approach.

Fuck that defeatist attitude. Yeah run away like they won't follow. How about instead of letting them win you take a stand and reclaim your shit?

Sorry, but I'm not going to live in an area with negroes.

Sorry, but some of these nigtowns are going to have to be firebombed to the ground. Philly is definitely one of them.

Well, that's a black neighborhood for you.

Bad neighborhoods already have few businesses to serve them for this reason. Even grocery store chains avoid them.

Why would you put up a store where 60% of your stock will just disappear.
Poof, Gone.
Not just robbery. It is unreal the amount of shoplifting that goes on. A town in Illinois of about 80,000 that has very ghetto parts but also very nice parts had a Jewel Osco that had to shut down because they were losing an average of $800/day from shoplifting. That's $5,600 a week! Congratulations, you now don't have a grocery store and your local community has fewer low skilled jobs.

Yeah, we've got a couple of practically abandoned shopping centers with 40 - 50 buildings and all that's open is a chinese take-out, some sort of government office and a bodega in each one.

I remember reading some time ago that big chain stores ruined cities. Later, all the chain stores disappeared. Guess what? Then everyone who cried foul about chain stores all of a sudden were in shock that small mom and pop stores were more expensive! huh! Go figure.

No one is going to want to work in these areas then. Ironically, the people living in these areas would want this, until they realize no businesses will risk being in their shit neighborhood. Is it indignant to have extra police presence in gang areas too? Is it indignant to warn citizens of dangerous areas? Is it indignant to avoid danger? I'd say they where naive, but they are just cruel inhuman scum pretending to be virtuous. They want death and suffering, nothing more.
This reminds me of how they had to change the name of gypsies. Since gypsies had too many bad connotations(because of gypsies being gypsies) they changed the name to Roma people. Guess what? Roma people are going to have the same bad connotations attached to their name as gypsy had.
