Crime and thieves scares businesses away. My boyfriend's mom said that once, Hollywood where Chelsea is had full of businesses until crime sent them away.
Another sad result of not enforcing the law. You can't have a business where lawlessness is the norm. This will sadly have to gut much much worse before it gets better.
This is just a surface level problem, nothing can change unless some foundational problems are dealt with. White flight was a contributing factor, but all that's being done to remedy that is gentrification and all that's going to do is make financiers and real estate tycoons even richer, and push the poor into even worse situations. But there's an even bigger contributing factor at play, the destruction of the family, 50 years ago western society had a sexual revolution that has undermined and assaulted the family which of course is the foundation of society, without it you won't have a functional society...for long. Ladies, don't give unto a man of yourself until he puts a ring on you, and Men, respect and honor women like you expect other men to treat your mom, settle down, get married and raise a family. The aforementioned problem indeed was a racial issue, segregation Era whites didn't want blacks into their neighborhoods so they left taking all the jobs with them, the cats out of the bag on that, you're not going to fix it with gentrification. But the breakdown of the family has been devastating to every community. Can we change? Obviously an opinion piece.
it's so hard to find a store close to anybody's neighborhood anymore Krogers is not no longer in Atlanta Georgia it's all about Publix or Walmart no more Winn-Dixie's there's barely even the Spanish store called sedano's maybe you can do bravos which is another Spanish store but I mean other than that like the community really needs this store for older people who can't get around but would like to have groceries and their house even if it's in a white community or a black community something got to give is something has to change immediately
It's terrible. Memphis needs better public transportation. I wonder who told these foreign corner store owners we don't eat fresh fruit and veggies, and meat. The black store owners had all of that, that they bought the stores from
@@freerobert6969 Well black corner store owners in the past did sell food that the community needed and wanted. Only they retired or died. Their children sold business to foreigners usually Arabs
@@robertsmith1865 When people steal from you daily your profits are literally walking out the door , most American business people are not gonna put their lives on the line for pennies.
@@freerobert6969 If çrime was so bad, the Arab owned corner stores wouldn't still be there. They are there all day, everyday . When Kroger's grocery store first opened on Lamar/Airways it was a grand event. It had everything you wanted to buy. I used to shop there. Then in the late 2000s the store started cutting back on different items to be sold. I myself had to go to other stores to buy different varieties of fish and can goods and baking goods. So I and many others stopped going. Over the years only went in to buy tiny amounts of groceries.
the problems are getting better security systems to watch the stores, they don’t wanna build and stay in black neighborhoods, and communities, whenever white communities move out they take all the stores, and ,restaurants, resources with them, black and hispanic neighborhoods always suffers the most not only in Memphis and other the entire country, homeless people who dont have transportation to get to the better stores, binghampton had a beautiful store location, it’s always boils from who is living in these communities whenever new stores even considered the location from the beginning its systemic racism.

Who does most of the shoplifting and robberies ? Opps, the media knows .
Chump change. White folks stealing millions and millions of money from the poor.
Poor people...What's your point?
@@jbjb9586 Food Deserts See 7:28 - 9:52 in the vid " Why Grocery Stores Are Avoiding Black Neighborhoods " on the channel " CNBC "
Theft, Shoplifting and General Anti-social Behavior is what forces a lot of these stores to close
I wonder why?? Oh because politicians and government are stealing millions from the poor.
Maybe BLM have an answer.
We're not allowed to talk about this nationwide problem 😒

I know the answer but I'm not allowed to say it. Wokeness 😆
Great
"Pat, is there a G?"
"Yes, two G's."
"I'd like to solve the puzzle!
Naggers?
if my land lord gave us control over our own home that we pay for, i'd be growing food and giving it away for free
because we don't have property ownership caps and land lords are greedy
4:13 " Super Low " is this like " Mega - Lo Mart " in the TV show Hank Hill ?
We just can't have nice things,can we?
If they were quit looting their own stores the stores would stay there
That garden lady is queen.
I better not speak the truth or I'll be called a racist even though I'm not
Where is CJ'S stolen gun and refrigerator??
In Homie's house.

So sad.. Vote different Yawll.. Work these people who want your vote.. Look at things like a Visionary does. They see it but they also do.
why don't save a lot build their own stores like the Dollar general store does
Very sad
Why? Are you really serious?
Parts of Memphis? Can you be more specific? Areas that blacks live in are definitely a bad place to invest in!!
Racist!
Because of wakanda related crimes.

let me correct this reporter most of Memphis is all black
