Baltimore mayor rightfully sees liquor stores as a problem

   Baltimore mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake rightfully refused to have special interest-free loans going to some twenty liquor stores that were ruined during the riots in Baltimore. She is doing this because these owners have  not conformed to a zoning ban on alcohol sales in residential areas and were somehow grandfathered in and allowed to remain all these years as the city tried to shut down the innumerable stores that have inundated this community with social problems and is a plague to all inner-city neighborhoods that have trouble attracting g quality businesses and instead get these Indian owned liquor stores on every street corner. This mayor rightfully sees it as a major problem that these Indian and Pakistanis have too much sway opening up their crummy business with overpriced items only in black neighborhoods. This tactic used by the Chamber of commerce and business leaders in America have been used to demoralize the black community and create a ghettos type atmosphere where lack of respect for community thrives and in many ways I can see why it wouldn't for the poor stuck with five liquor stores within a block radios and not a grocery within miles. Baltimore needs to do something to close more of these liquor stores and bringing in quality stores for the residents of Baltimore and the governments problem all these years is that they allowed these private companies the power  to decide which neighborhoods to serve and which do not. When this power is given to companies they can easily conspire to destroy a city or neighborhood with their economic decisions and attitudes that some communities are not worthy of  investment and deserve to be underserved and screwed royalty. The corporate class would never allow the number of liquor stores and cheap run down connivance stores to monopolize their communities and have long used government subsidies to ensure this separation of economic zones and classes. It is good to see a mayor deny these crummy businesses loans to continue this disparity and these owners who lost their liquor stores during the Baltimore riots need to be told to go and relocate their business in White and Indian communities surrounding Baltimore.
