Former City Councilman Warns Residents: Walmart Shoppers Will Bring Down Property Values
Everyone has an opinion on Walmart and the impact it has on a community whenever a new store is opened. But some residents of Kansas City suburb say a former city councilman went too far when he recently distributed a letter claiming that a new Walmart in the area would attract an undesirable element and ultimately result in a drop in property values. According to the letter, property values aren’t going to be hurt by the mere opening of a mammoth big box store with an expansive parking lot. No, the real problem is that Walmart shoppers from other towns will be visiting little Fairway, KS.
See, the opening of the new store means an existing Walmart in a nearby town will be shuttered.
“When that happens all of their customers of the old store will shop at the new one,” he writes. “Our neighborhood will get noticed and some will want to move into it.”
12:32 if you think there are well dressed people that go into our local wall marts you are a dirt bag. When I go in there I am over dressed and that is with a t-shirt and shorts and flip flops.
He is right
ReplyDeleteThat's obsured for gosh sake.
ReplyDeleteI don't know were you go 12:32, but the people at two Walmarts here sure fit the description.
ReplyDeleteThere really are some nice Walmarts but they sure aren't in Berlin, Salisbury, Fruitland or Pocomoke.
