Urban Planning gone wrong

[m00n.livejournal.com]

While we are on the topic of community development, does anyone have an explanation for there now being a third convenience store in Teele Square within view of the other two?



Beyond the fact that I don't feel like these stores contribute much (if anything) to the community, I'm kind of wondering how it is that this neighborhood can even support three of them (four if you count the Indian market down the street that sells pretty much all the same stuff).

I don't mean to be such a community troll about these things, but I live in that neighborhood and it is starting to get a little depressing...

Re: Pizza

pizzerias must have extremely low operating expenses or there's more demand for pizza in the area than I'd've guessed.
this. flour, water, salt and yeast are all extremely cheap, and tomato sauce and cheese aren't exactly pricey either. all you need is a counter to make the dough and to make a pizza, and an oven, and you're pretty much set. everything else is optional.
