Still an issue. Still incomprehensible. Semi-luxe apartment everywhere but no bodega to buy a bag of chips and a soda anywhere. Thanks for mentioning how under-utilized — and dangerous — all the vast parking lots are. There needs to be *some* kind of plan for addressing the food desert and the sprawling heat trapping empty parking lots everywhere — while demanding people to pay $3 hour to park downtown.

while living and working in Italy for a few months last year, I enjoyed walking to the supermarket almost everyday - nearby, great selections and if you went every other day you could carry home everything you needed!

100% agree about the need for a grocery store downtown but also hot take... If you can afford to live downtown, you can afford $5 eggs at bulldega

I believe the expansion of the american tobacco campus is supposed to have a grocery store included, so that’s something at least!
