Food deserts are created because of bad hoods and lots of businesses and homes are are long gone. When the regional job base is gone, people in their homes lose their jobs, customer base, people move out, folks who stay waiting for hope will end up be victims of facing sudden blight, folks who don't want to wait for hope will go into gangs, drugs and crimes just a make a quick buck. As this blight continues more food deserts pop up. How are those remaining neighbors in those will find a closet supermarket?

There are small markets in the area, but some of them don't open until whatever they feel like it.
