Why do we need so many of the same store? How do they all make money? Within 10 miles of me there are at least 5 Walmarts,4Tagets, 20 dunkin donuts, 4 Home Despots, and the list goes on for ever. Not only that they are building more all the time. I just don't get it. Someday they will have to contract back to fewer stores then we will be left with empty ones. I can't even imagine the money it takes to have them all open or how much they have to bring in. Any thoughts.
-
You must live in a pretty big city to have all those duplicate stores.
Don't they have to do some sort of economic feasibility study before putting a duplicate store in the same city?
-
In the nearby town there are 5 and soon to be 6 pharmacies all within spitting distance of each other. ::)

I live in Ct along the NYC to Boston corridor near I-95 too many people for me that's for sure. Still I have no idea how they make enough to justify so many
-
We have Starbucks every 50 feet out here.
In City of Orange, a couple blocks from where I live, there's 2 Del Tacos half a block from eachother. City of Orange has 2 Home Depots and Anaheim has 5.
-
In the town where I go to school, I just found out they actually have legislation preventing the establishment of Walmart, and I think Home Depot. There is a downside though, because the town is full of pretentious assholes.

You forgot to mention the Gambling casinos run by the "extinct" Indian tribes of Ct. They all look curiously black! ???

There is still two more trying to get federal recognition to open more ::)

That's nothing, here in the south, there's a chain of 24 hour greasy breakfast/ burger places called Waffle House. They are usually located at the to of Interstate Highway onramps and offramps. Many times you will see two of them, one on one side of the highway overpass, and another on the other side.

Mmm... Waffle House. I lived in a place like that, there was one Waffle House right off the highway, and then another about half a mile down the road where all the locals went to.
-
I try to go to more local and family stores than anything else but they are disappearing >:(
When they open the new Dunkin Donuts near me I will drive by two of them to get to the local coffee shop I go to. They make my coffee and get my red danish in the bag when they see me pull up :-[

If corporations were illegal
(which they should be, for
a number of reasons), this
wouldn't happen. :laugh:
-
There's only one wal-mart here and it's practically out of town.
-
There are two Wal-Marts here on 82nd AVE. Not far from where I live.
-
they dont build any of the superstores here because everyone in this town is a faggot hippy and wont cut the trees down

I'll trade you. You can live in suburban hell and I'll move to where you took those pictures and deal with the hippies
-
Yeah. I'm in one of the MOST hippy towns around,
and 'tis a blessing. But, they're contemplating revitalizing
downtown, and turning it into a fucking strip mall.

Most of the time revitalization means politicians lining their pockets and fucking everything up. You must join the resistance and fight for your town before it turns into everyplace else.
The town I live in used to be nice but has changed much in the last few years with unbridled development and the pushing out of the longtime residents because of cost of living, taxes, ect. Besides hippies always have good pot :P

There is a Home Depot on Twenty-ninth Street, so the town must not have banned Home Depots, or else Home Depot fought them on it.

Doing some. But, I'm leaving probably,
so not really willing to throw myself into
it. That's a BIG part of the problem - people
are too mobile to really care about where they
live now. Disposable lives.

They have disposable lives because they are disposable people with no back bone. >:(
-
Or disposable because they
are no longer hired for their
lives. The more fluid society
is, the worse this gets. Serfs
were good.
-
Serfs
were good.
Yes especially if you were in charge of them :laugh:
-
Hell, I'd rather BE one,
than what is expected
today. One's obligations
were clear.
-
And their lives where short. You do have a point though about obligations
-
Sure, but feudalism, as a political/economic
system, doesn't necessitate that. I'm rather
in favor of a technological equivalent. If only
we had a good church.

Start one yourself. I have joked about it for year just think of the tax exempt status
