Walmart in Carlsbad? Impact on Housing value?

[davelj]

Marion, nowhere in your self-aggrandizing soliloquy did you bother to actually answer my question, so I’ll repeat it:

What, exactly, “comes” with the poor? (In the context of your statement, which follows.)

“The reality is that Walmart is going to attract the poor to the community, workers as well as shoppers, and all that comes with it.”

Yes, I’ve been in the Food4Less on Palomar Road in Chula Vista more times than I can remember (for reasons that you could not possibly comprehend). No, it ain’t pretty. But the prices are as good as you’re going to find anywhere. For my personal grocery needs, which are minimal, I go to the Ralphs downtown on Market Street because it’s the closest grocer to where I live. If Food4Less was closer, hell, I’d probably go there.

Here we go again…dave, sigh…Where is this “self-aggrandizing”? I don’t like poverty. K? My parents chose their plight. My father had an opportunity to go back and finish college on more than one occasion, he chose not to.

What comes with the poor? I thought I answered that question: you will have dirty stores, dirty environments. Don’t act like you don’t know that’s how it is.

As far as food-4-less, I’ve been in there and checked out the prices. I find I can do just as well by shopping at other supermarkets and buying items on sale. Stater brothers has good prices on their non-sale items. Trader Joe’s has excellent prices and I do a LOT of my grocery shopping there.

I can comprehend.

P.S. In case you don’t know what a Scion XB is, it’s no BMW.

Walmart wasn’t a good fit for that neighborhood, and Carlsbad residents have a right to speak out against whoever they want. A “high-end” walmart would have just been a pig with lipstick.

Here’s a nice fit:

Another thing about food-4-less, you have to bag your own groceries. I’m not saying I can’t do it, I don’t want to do it. You don’t even have to do that at Walmart. Dave, I can see YOU guarding that wallet like it’s Fort Knox, but I find it hard to believe that you’d enjoy bagging your own groceries.
