Because its a majority black area with a lower avg. income than other areas. Companies see it as not a safe investment, except for walmart now.

No--now it's fixed (especially since it wasn't broken in the first place). You can thank me later.

directly around the AUC campus and westside village is not a 'dangerous crime ridden' area. if you head north a few blocks, yes, that is a pretty rough area.

I went there yesterday. It was like a circus. The place was pack, but I hope they plan on having security at the store. This would be the closer location for me, rather than Wal Mart's Howell Mill store.

Has that area undergone a rebirth the past 2.5 years that make the data invalid? (HINT: The answer is 'No.')

Then find more recent data that proves it incorrect.

Brand new Walmart Supercenter. That's a multi-million private investment. Publix didn't work because its prices are too high for that area.
