This reminds me of old videos of Soviet stores!
Kansas City purchased the Linwood Shopping Center back in 2017 for just under a million bucks. The anchor store in the center was, and still (kind of) is Sun Fresh grocery store. The investment was part of a larger $13 million project to prop up the shopping center so businesses didn't leave the neighborhood completely due to violent crime, drugs, and prostitution.
The grocery store itself "has received financial assistance from the city" according to KSHB 41, due to the area being a "food desert" (libs love this term).
And yet, the project has failed. As it turns out, you can't have civilization when barbarians are allowed to run around … and government/NGO funding doesn't work without individual ownership.
(AKA Communism never works)
What's crazy is the frontrunner for NYC mayor wants to do this to New York!!
