I’m probably going to get yelled at for this, but why do we keep pretending the only solution to a food desert is opening another grocery store? If a store closes because the economics don’t work, high rent, labor, theft, thin margins, people ordering more online, whatever…, what exactly is supposed to make the next store survive? Why not give tax incentives to Amazon, Instacart or other grocery delivery companies to build small warehouse or fulfillment operations in these areas and require them to serve the surrounding neighborhood? People can already use SNAP benefits to buy groceries through Amazon. So if the actual problem is access to affordable food, why are we so focused on the building instead of getting the food to people? Tie the incentives to some basic rules like cheap or free delivery (or subsidize for SNAP members, SNAP acceptance, fresh meat and produce, same-day service, etc If we keep putting another grocery store into the same bad economics and then acting shocked when it closes, maybe we’re solving the wrong problem. What am I missing here? Would this actually be worse than spending public money trying to keep a grocery model alive that may not work in some neighborhoods anymore?

Our city installed half a dozen cool new cameras. They take pictures as well as video of every car that passes them. At this time they supposedly cannot ID faces but video footage is video footage. Many of the new camera boxes are double sided to track both sides of the street. A few have been vandalized with spray paint or blunt damage, the repairs will come at the cost of the contractor not the city. The damage to the cameras has delayed their start date.

I made a post last week, and the first session went pretty well. Looking for 1 more to fill out this upcoming weekend's roster. It'll be Sunday 130 PM, near the redmond light rail station. We're doing Hangzhou style, which I describe as simple, quick paced, but with 1 weird rule for joker tiles. DM me if you're interested!

I am traveling through for a vacation and have a company managed iPhone. I have to request apps, that are usually instantly approved, instead of going through the app store. Are there any top recommended apps that make life a little better for someone traveling through. I already have Uber. Plan to exclusively use public transportation, ride the Ferry, MoPOP & SAM.
Was reading up on an old news story from there. Thanks, all.
