Over-Convenience Chains and your Property

convenientThe sudden boom of development in the many metro centers around the world has produced a demand for almost everything. That was all answered by the local grocery but the biggest ones and the ones who had the most choices of goods were still quite a distance from most homes due to zoning regulations. Then, one bright minded person decided to answer the calling for small stores offering the most wanted stuff that people buy and the convenience store was born. Today, on almost every street corner in major urban centers, you will find branch of 7-11 and so many more, existing to serve the public for that forgotten jar of mayo and more, plus their own products of course and they are indeed booming.
One springing up near your condo would be convenient allowing you to get almost anything you need, good? Nope, for considering the fact that the next nearest one is less than 15 minutes away. Urban centers are being turned into commercialized neighborhoods with these invasive and ever present stores (hhhhmmmm, now that’s why people are obese) that are very convenient turning the half hour walk into a 5 minute one. It may be nice to have one but too many can be a problem for they are some of the most criminal activity prone stores with goods and the cash they bring in offering fast cash. They can also caue your waistline to expand at unimaginable proportions with the much loved slurpee and hotdog always within reach. There should be moreinsight to these stores and their locations and that would be the job of the city planners, it’s up to you the homeowner to take up the cause along with many like you who may want to keep their numbers down to a minimum to preserve the ambiance of the neighborhood you oh so love.
