I don’t think that’s the main problem contributing to food deserts. In my city, zoning regulations and anticompetitive contracts have created them… so, shitty business practices and nimbyism.

It's not the main problem by a long shot but it's certainly impacting existing businesses. For some of them it's just the final nail in the coffin.

Dumbass nimby boomers and zoning are a whole other can of worms. If you can spare the free time to annoy your city council with your pet peeves (which said boomer nimbys often can) you can get a lot of things done.
