Results for “palm desert”

This is obviously a very special unit. Finishes aren’t ideal. Someone needs to break out the feather finish and give this bad boy some proper floors. Also, it’s right on Palm Canyon Dr so there’s going to be traffic noise pretty much all the time. I looked at one of the junior 1 bedroom units in the rear of the complex back in 2011 and I believe the asking price was around $120,000. Forever regret not buying in this complex.

I can’t believe what a deal this is, there are still so many affordable pockets in Palm Springs, it’s amazing. Too bad you can’t live there year round because of the heat

So MARTA is tackling food Desert.

SMH

And I wouldn’t want to live in either area. Of course I’d prefer Palm Beach if I had to choose, but the diversity is what makes Manhattan great.

And banality. Look at Palm Beach. Probably the most loaded place on earth, but so dreadfully boring it makes you want to drown in the ocean. Why anyone would want that I don’t know.

The "shortage" is most acute at the lowest rungs, which is where 500,000 illegal-alien families – and perhaps another 500K of their derivatives – "blended" and 2nd/3rd generation – settled in starting the 1980’s, and have never moved since. So there is no turnover, there is no opportunity to upgrade improve and rehab, and there is no competitive market seeking tenants.

They permanently displaced the SRO/GRE-class, and if you ever wondered what inspired "Friday", and why the high desert has sooo much trouble with Section 8 investors, well, it all stems from mass illegal immigration into South Central.

We wouldn’t have anywhere near the housing shortage or "rent crisis" if we were only dealing with folks relocating from the rest of the country.

why shouldn’t rural areas be included in it?

They are included, they just have different standards, because they have different circumstances, again, if you look at the map, there are wide swaths of rural America included.

What do you do if you live in a rural area and don’t have a car?

If enough people in your rural area have similar situations, you are also considered a food desert.

come back with a definition that doesn’t exclude people that you don’t care for and then we can discuss this…

Look up the criteria yourself. I don’t need to spend my time educating you about something you already hate.

thing about it is I actually do care… I care that EVERYONE has access to food… what I don’t care for is the stupid politically motivated definition of a "food desert"… why shouldn’t rural areas be included in it? I would argue that they are actually more at risk than anyone within the perimeter. why? sure the percentage of people owning cars might be greater in rural areas, but what if you DON’T own a car? what then? if you live basically anywhere ITP, you can get on a train or a bus and go to a grocery store… sure, it might be inconvenient but it’s a possibility. And even if you can’t or don’t want to do it, there are still other options for feeding yourself. McD’s isn’t great but it’s food at the end of the day. What do you do if you live in a rural area and don’t have a car? There is no public transportation, you aren’t walking 10+ miles to a store and back. And there aren’t even bad options like fast food around. What are your options then? Feeling good about yourself that you don’t live in what USDA defines as a food desert won’t keep you full unfortunately. Sorry that my priority is to make sure that first and foremost, everyone has access to food and then we can figure out a way to improve it. I truly apologize that I prefer making sure that everyone can eat over scoring virtue signaling points… bad, bad me… come back with a definition that doesn’t exclude people that you don’t care for and then we can discuss this… until then, the definition of a "food desert" is crap…

Not old or lazy. Id much much rather peddle my own bicycle than to ride a dangerous shared escooter with wheels small enough that i can palm.

mcdonalds is all those things… it’s nearby, affordable and certainly fresh in terms of that it just got cooked when you ordered it (they didn’t take it out of a week-old trash can and gave it to you)

what I think is implied by the term is "lack" of access to fresh produce

the term is intentionally misleading in order to appeal to people’s emotions and that’s crap

I live in the middle of EAV, nearest supermarket to me is 1.3 miles… do I live in a food desert then by that definition? it’d be great if I did! Free Lyft rides!

mile away from a supermarket is like 99% of the country

I really hope you’re kidding here. If not, this is bullcrap.
