You write that the DetNews 'can't seem to embrace any good news without searching for the uh-oh', but the truth of the situation is that any new development in Detroit is going to create winners and losers (not saying it's zero-sum, however). I'm not really tripping about the News covering this particular angle of this development, because it's certainly going to affect independent grocers on the west side. It also draws attention to the fact that in a 85 percent Black city, the number of Black owned businesses is far less than that. Additionally, the subsidies to open new stores are a legitimate point of argument. -Jayarem [Big Box Does Not Care That You've Been In Business 27 Years]
