#3 I can't find the actual documentation right at the moment, but there was a time that the city of Chicago fought Walmart tooth-and-nail to keep them from building stores in the area as it would hurt the local businesses.

#8 The other day I watched a youtube vid titled Why Grocery Stores Are Avoiding Black Neighborhoods. Normally, I would avoid anything CNBC, but I was curious how they would sell the story.

No big surprises - the usual racism, systemic racism, corporate greed and lots of poignant clips of hardship and woe. But buried in the middle of the piece was an interview with a grocery exec who gave the game away in a single sentence: Our normal stores make a penny on a dollar of sales while the ones being closed lose 4 cents.
tl;dr: Arithmetic wins again!
