Maybe ignoring your point and making mine. I left out bodegas because I don't know where the idea came from that they are cheap--generally they sell a limited selection for higher prices than regular supermarkets. But much of that other stuff is what middle and working class families want and need, not outfits for woodland creatures. And not coincidentally, they are all things that organic neighborhoods have (forget the "mandatory") but ones artifically planned by eggheads in city planning departments (who live somewhere else) don't. There's a lesson there.
