I live in Atlantic City NJ which is a food desert. The city went over 8 years without any grocery store. Just last week the government board rejected all bids from traditional grocery a contract to run a grocery store. The project has been in planning stage (& never moves forward) for about 5 years. The idea of the city running it themselves would be great. I'm not confident that it would happen or succeed. Thanks for writing this article. People need to know more on this issue.

What a great idea! No one should live in a food desert.
