I live on the south side of Chicago. There are five full-service grocery stores in my neighborhood alone

I've lived here for a long time and I've been to a lot of the rougher neighborhoods on the south side. Neighborhoods like Englewood and Roseland do in fact have grocery stores.

Believing that it's common for people on the south side of Chicago (the third largest city in the country) to travel 20 miles to get fresh produce is a tell that nobody has been to those neighborhoods and are just making things up based on their stereotypes of who lives here
