Is crime creating our food deserts or is it a deeper challenge of community disinvestment? Either way, Mayor Brandon Johnson seems ready to tackle these issues head-on. Brace yourself for a thought-provoking episode where we take a hard look at Chicago's struggle with food deserts and how it's affecting historically underserved communities. We critically assess Mayor Johnson's bold initiative to establish a municipally owned grocery store and explore whether it can truly address the pervasive issues of food equity and accessibility. As we delve into the economic implications, prepare to be challenged as we push the boundaries of the conventional thinking on community investment.

Our conversation takes a deep dive into the harrowing effects of community disinvestment and explores innovative solutions to these pressing issues. We discuss the Economic Security Project's mission to build economic power for all Americans and how this partnership with the mayor's office could prove instrumental in repairing past harms and promoting food equity. A daring venture indeed, but what about the sustainability of this taxpayer-funded project amidst ongoing theft and crime? We don't shy away from asking the hard-hitting questions. So, get ready to engage with the complexities of Chicago's food desert crisis and the potential solutions at hand.
