"Food deserts" continue to be a problem in New York City

- As CBS2's Lisa Rozner investigates, the inequitable access to healthy and affordable food is something that more than two dozen neighborhoods in New York City experience every day.
Who would be dumb enough to open a market in certain parts of NYC where people will just shoplift and get away with it?
Yes that is the real issue - 5 finger discounts in "certain areas" but they never mention that. "When they get home from their 3rd job" - did you hear that nonsense. The MSM is a joke now.
Well then at that point, it's a lose lose situation for the non criminals.
Ambitious, enterprising immigrants (wearing rose-tinted glasses).
A market opens, they smash and grab and shoplift everything in the store, and then wonder why there are no markets. Hello, think about that for a minute.
They only think of immediate gratification, and no further.
High crime rate in those areas is the reason. Business is business, not charity.
Never knew that I lived in a "food desert". And besides, AOC declared that dirty, smelly trucks weren't necessary because milk comes from stores.
Yea but soy milk comes from solar powered milk pipelines directly to stores
😜
Exactly. The people of NYC are experiencing the results of electing anti American politicians. Its what they voted for.
AOC aka Welfare kings and queens
Maybe if these were not also zones of criminal culture there could be a few places were some hard working store owners could make a living without being robbed daily, or murdered for a few dollars.
They can’t put grocery stores in dangerous areas. If it’s not safe enough for a bank it’s not safe enough for a grocery store.
Yeah. You know why they hand out food stamps instead of cash? Crack 😂 Oh my god this is crazy. I do feel for the people there sometimes because there are good people there trying to do the right thing and they might not always have the opportunities. A lot of people join gangs for safety and that leads to prison and caskets.
They have a chase bank almost in every block in the hood. Lol
The rents are too damn high. For a neighborhood that 50% are on snap public assistance or below median family income. There is no profit. People just want things free. And given to them. And still blame everyone for them being lazy.
To any New Yorkers thinking about moving somewhere else, here’s some friendly advice…
When you get to wherever you’re going, don’t vote the idiot ways that ruined your state! We don’t want that crap where we’re at. If you want to live like you’re in NY, then you’re better off where you’re at.

Just half a mile? Nearest grocery store to me is 18 miles.
So do you have to drive out for like a monthly shop?
A lotta false & misleading info here. Dollar tree also sells a variety of frozen vegetables & fruit. They also sell dry beans, brown rice, quinoa, Himalayan pink sea salt, oat meal, spring water & Alkaline water... They also take EBT/ food stamps.. somehow they didn't bother to mention this..
I got sick from eating rice at dollar tree. No thanks that aint “fresh” prob have micro plastics in it
Dollar tree isn't accessible
@@s.r6331 isn't accessible to who?
@@Idontwannahandl low income families. They don't have them around as much as dollar stores
If they didn't create starved victims, the network wouldn't have had a story. They forgot to research their story.
Who would want open a supermarket in the bronx with all the shoplifting and grab and go around the neighborhood
Exactly! They prefer junk food anyway.
Amazon Check Out Free should with their new grab concept. You take an item and your bank account is deducted automatically
@@DonGivani What bank account?
@@davemattia Dave, Amazon Go does not work with back account, they work with the Amazon App...you can do an internet search

Why would large supermarkets and retail outlets want to open stores in areas where they are constantly being robbed and nobody gets charged or convicted of these CRIMES? Simply because it's seen as offensive to do so, the snowflakes cannot afford to cry, they'd melt! 🤣
Not New York complaining about super markets now 🤦🏻♀️ promoting bare laziness. Some people feeling so entitled they feel that there should be a market designed personally for their block.
Who will work in tough neighborhood
Hell here in the south they have a church on every corner next to the bank
Let's hire a bunch of academics to solve a microeconomic problem.
Lets hire a bunch of academics to solve everything
NYC is far from a food dessert. It's the city you can go anywhere.
This lead in is disgraceful.
The bigger problem is that most blacks don't eat vegetables and healthy foods. I tried to buy a salad from sweet greens for a black co worker and he was like f no.
This is not a problem at all.
Be grateful we got no empty shelves.
Not the same as food deserts in other states where a car is your livelihood ! In NYC you can take the train to decent supermarkets, wholes foods, Aldi, etc! Junk food is a choice! You tube has plenty of recipes that are easy to follow !
I work at Trader Joe's. The majority of our customers take the train, the bus or even Uber for the things they want...
You spoke only the facts here..
There is lots of great recipes on RUclips 😀
Just an excuse.To blame the city or local government. Stop being lazy.
Whole food and Trader Joe’s prices are outrageous.
Isn't it obvious why ?
To them? Nope....
Everyone knows.
Food deserts in NYC??? I'll call b.s on this one
EXACTLY! And the neighborhoods they featured ARE NOT FOOD DESERTS lol! I grew up in Baychester. We never not had access to healthy foods and 0.4 miles is a short walk lol.
Further than a half mile? Seriously. That's nothing!
It cost more to healthy than not. Plus there are street food vendors who sell fruit.
I remember when I lived in Brooklyn there were no supermarkets anywhere just one small Korean grocery. You had to travel over a mile to find a supermarket and at that time we didn’t have a car. What I find so upsetting is how much food is thrown away in this country, perfectly fresh and edible food every day is thrown by the tons into the garbage, when it should be given to these poor people so they could eat healthy and have what they need. If they can save money on food that could help them rise out of poverty eventually.
Crime is what is keeping people from opening super markets.
@@winning3329 and who’s stealing
If they give it to the poor and they get sick they can sue. Thank the lawyers.
No store is giving anything away for free..they will starve you to your last dime...they would rather throw it out.
What neighborhood in Brooklyn was that?
Remembering when Deblasio ex mayor was offering hamburger and fries to get the vax ...all for good health
If you look at the price per ounce/pound for food at the dollar stores, they are frequently more expensive than a traditional grocery store since the package sizes are smaller. So they are actually paying more.
They need to let Walmart open supermarkets in the city .
Just go to the dumpsters at Walmart they throw away thousands of pounds of food everyday
People are losing sympathy, and rightfully so.
They just showed 2 different neighborhoods at the beginning. The first Highbridge, and the second Pelham Gardens. I know PG VERY well- like the back of my hand. Yes, people are shopping at the Dollar Tree, and YES aldi is right there, but Pelham Gardens is by NO MEANS a food desert or swamp and there's no "food insecurity".
I don't drive, I take public transportation or walk everywhere. The closest Stop & Shop is 1.6 miles from where I am. That may sound far, but it's a very short bus ride away. 15 minutes on a bus is a quicker ride than we think. There was another but it recently closed. There's also a Foodtown that's 0.7 miles away. Again, according to this report, that's "far" but in reality, it's a 5 minute bus ride up the block. There's also Instacart and I use it on days where I don't feel like leaving the house.
Being more than 0.5 a mile in NYC, at least in the neighborhoods they're featuring in this report (Baychester, Pelham Gardens, High Bridge) is not a long distance. It's more than a doable distance for families and single people alike. Growing up, we either walked to Boston Road (10 minute walk), or take the bus to Bay Plaza (16 minute ride). If you had a lot of bags, you just took a cab back. It wasn't a big deal. We never felt like we were going out of our way, because it was easily accessible and a short bus ride.
Like they say at the end of the report, it's about CHOICES. There are always healthy alternatives and healthier lifestyles, and there's a healthy lifestyle that fits every culture and schedule. Do you have to find what works for you and your family? Yes. Will it be difficult sometimes? Sure, but it's not impossible.
Aldi is also a grocery store with fresh and healthy food!
In Arkansas, I don't even have to hunt for meat, I just drive a little faster.
Food dessert 😳😳?Dam, that one big bych. And the dude with the gut and man teets pushing the full EBT cart ain't far behind..Who in hell THESE days don't know veggies, fruits are better for you than Twinkies, Kool aid and BBQ chips
These food deserts seem to have the fattest people. Figure that out.. Way to go Mickey D.
Literally the answer is don’t let bodegas take EBT. So many people getting paid to fix these problems and I dead just gave ya the solution LOL 😆
Closed, for cleaning, will be open on back of the store...
Maybe they can open an oil change station.
Residents not complaining enough...food & water two basic needs and the residents are not fighting for more supermarkets ? Better call your politicians...can't live forever on Bodega food sorry.
I do shopping in dollar store... but NOT every time ... hahaha.. I do shopping also in Alberston, QFC, Safeway, Aldi, Costco, Topss, Wincoo, FredMeyer... but NOT every time always at the same store... NOT every time !!! ... just one or another store every week... But NOT every time at same store !!! .. The reasons : prices... items.. product... conveniences.. my moods on that day.
the problem of lack of access to healthier food will never get better, in fact wiill get worse, and mainly because “getting - by” programs are always more palatable to the people in charge. There will never be fair equal wealth for all.
This is just ridiculous! There should be a supermarket on every corner. You should be able to walk to a supermarket in 15 seconds from every residence. You shouldn't have to be inconvenienced in the slightest to get any food item you want at any time of the day.
Agreed
depend what area you live at. if you live in the violence area such of robbery murder drugs . do you expect people to go there and open their legally business to serve the community ? NO. fix the crime first make sure safety is number one priority for everyone then talk about make business
Lol what? Is this a joke or sarcastic?
@@Idontwannahandl say that to the victims of gun violence robbery and many more in The Bronx
@@HODATKHO lol. Is this a joke or sarcastic?
Maybe fix ur culture first
Maybe Instead of selling drugs
Study
Maybe instead of flexing on shoes
Save your money
Blm cannot be fixed
@@brandon-tech The BLM is a Scam.
If we are talking about the Organization.
The caption made me click cause who is packing like that
Wow talk about a news story promoting laziness. We have never been more saturated with a varietly of stores near each other than we have been for the past twenty years or so. I have at least four very profitable supermarket chains within a measly five to ten minute walk all surrounded by a huge wild life style parkland area in the Bronx Mosholu Parkway area. On top of this there are multiple video game stores, malls, clothing and electronics shops, mom and pop stores of all sorts every single one within walking distance yet with trains and buses every few blocks for those who are up there in age or disabled in some way who are unable to walk it. This compared to the early 1990's when i used to have to take a train all the way down town to Chambers street to buy a computer video game at the sadly now gone J&R Computer World. Glad my mom taught me the joy and benefits of walking long distances when i was child back in the 1970's walking us for hours in hot summer weather from the Day Care Center that was miles away during New Yorks major financial crisis back then. Oh yea and lets not forget how the internet has made things even more comfortable with door to door delivery of humongous gorgeous looking movies, video games etc streamed or installed right to the entertainment devices of our choice at any hour of the day no matter the weather.
Fr @ promoting laziness 🤦🏻♀️. Like 0.5 miles is only like 10 blocks.
The Bronx should open Their own store
get Akeem Ricardo Wade Ross lucratively paid #NewYork
They should let us grow our own food oh wait that makes too much sense.
Koreans and Chinese invest in their areas, Dominicans and Arabs, west african and Mexicans, Lebanese and Italians, etc. Who else is supposed to do it ?
Sad
Food desert, until Gentrification happens, then they start selling Soy, Oat, Almond milk, that which you have been asking for months..Disgraceful. Redlining this is your result.
We can bicker and argue about the racist policies of Democrats on lots of topics... Redlining is not a factor here, the redlined neighborhoods of the 30s do not correlate well at all with where people are poor or food insecure today
@@Idontwannahandl no conversation can be had with certain people.. If you think the election was stolen, Jan 6 was a tourist visit, Antifa and BLM are terrorists, then you need a rubber room at Bellevue.. No conversation can be had where facts are not on the table… Feel free to babble on to infinity.. outta my NY way.
In poor communities there's not enough healthy choices or the organic food is too pricey.
You really think that stuff is organic?
Organic food is high priced no matter we're you go. The price won't drop just because they open in the hood
I wonder why all these bad food choices are in the neighborhoods that they are 🤔.. could It be by design?..idk🤷🏾♂️
a merican dream no more... y'all should wake up and flee...
Lack people.
😢😢😢😢
Foodstamps are need it 250$ for 1 ain't enough its true
That hand is always out...
DAMN..... but hey keep voting Democrat
The Great Democrat Voter Experience!
It saddens me that black people still have to look like that depends off-white producers to get quote on quote good from. Buffalo New York what's the absolute Learning lesson on how the struggle can be real when it comes to hanging onto the oppressors producing Manufacturing. I want Buffalo New York and all of the Buffalo towns of the US to come strong and build and finance ur own Supermarkets and producing manufacturing centers. Call it Black Tops of Kings 🤴and Queens 👸. Supermarket. Organize and unite the black dollar's.
Lmao. Nobody wants to do business in tha hood. But it's racism. That's always your answer
@@neemanon Yeah it's because of shoplifting. If they got this massive store everyone is going to be shoplifting from there. News only covers these big snatch and grabs but what about people taking individual items?
💔💔💔🙏🏽🙏🏽
Subsidies for supermarkets are the solution. Dont ruin a good report with bad politics.
Wrong. . Stop crime and stores could be profitable. Crime is being created and increased intentionally by corrupt politicians judges and DA.s. change the government to America first supporters and America can be saved. Otherwise expect more of less.
@@miker9082 crime has nothing to do with rental costs in big cities. You troll farmers need some new tricks.
@@RasheedBarnes crime has everything to do with rental costs. The thing city people can not understand is that decisions actually do have consequences. Voting for more crime and less law is biting you in the ass now days lol.
@@RasheedBarnes ill give you a simple lesson on economics. More crime equals more spending more spending means higher taxes higher taxes mean higher rent. Its very very low level economics. . City people think rising taxes should affect them because they don't own property However the property owners are the ones that have to pay taxes so that gets passed on the renters. Government subsidies are paid by taxes collected from property owners so it causes higher taxes. I realize you think taxes don't affect you but every time you vote for politicians that promise free stuff you will eventually pay for it .
@@miker9082 rental cost are driven by market demand, not votes. Your propaganda doesnt work over here. You are paid to spew what you don't actually believe.
They forget that there are so many people who do not have access to a kitchen. Microwave cooking is not ideal and there are people who don't even have that. Even if you have a supermarket near you, you cannot prepare the food because there is nowhere to cook it. Sometimes you're living in a house or apartment with several other people. You're only renting a room. You are therefore forced to buy junk and fast food because having a place to store and cook is a privilege that some people do not have.
If you don't even have access to a microwave, then you need to reconsider your life choices.
What a lot of Americans don't know is that most fruits and veggies are edible raw and unpeeled as long you have access to ckean tap water to wash them.
@@intellectualrebel5340 Most people know that.
@@danbowman9294 Then why are peeled frozen carroys being sold? And some people peel apples and stuff like that? My point is that as long as tap water is drinkable, you can eat quite some healty fresh produce without acces to kitchen. At least eat a hotdog and an apple insead of greasy stuff like hamburger and chips. Half-healty alternatives could better the health of people in those situations.
@@intellectualrebel5340 You're not "teaching" anyone anything. Everyone knows that already.
I have a solution to solve this problem INDEFINITELY
1. Legalize driving without insurance (half a mile is nothing if you can drive but it's hell if you have to walk not to mention that insurance requirement prevents poorer people from driving)
2. Only those who live in an apartment complex should be able to park on that block (no sense in just anyone taking those parking spaces when people need to buy food)
3. Tax the poor less (tips up to a certain amount shouldn't be taxes as well as your first few dollars that you need to survive.... if the poverty line is $10k and you only make $10k it makes no sense to tax you on that since you won't be able to survive)
4. Stop charging people illegal fees (there's a parking ticket waiting for you if you couldn't find quarters for the meter, one for driving at 26mph on the road when there's no traffic, and then court fess that you pay when the city was the 1 that sent you to court in the first place)
