Another point to make about the problem of limited mobility is that it’s a pain to get out to the suburbs to the grocery stores that have a better selection of fresh food. Yes, personal preferences and market forces play a big role in the fact that low income correlates with poor nourishment, but bad zoning rules make it much worse at the margins. If you require grocery stores to provide a minimum amount of parking, that necessarily bars them from opening in denser areas with an urban street grid.
So while it’s great to see the Obama administration engaging on this issue with the Healthy Food Financing Initiative (based on Pennsylvania’s Fresh Food Financing Initiative), it would be smart to tie the money to local zoning changes.
You know what would also be great? Seeing you apologize to Molovinsky. And not buried in the post where you attacked him. In a new post. With big, bold letters.
How many "scary brown people" do you think Molovinsky saw today, What-Am-I-Gettings-From-Big-Government?
