Well, yes but that is also true for a number of car-dependent food deserts in the US. Culdesac has transit access to other neighborhoods, so losing internal grocery distribution would be akin to one of those communities losing their only grocery store and having to travel 30+ minutes by car to the next one. For example, culdesac is a 16 minute streetcar ride from a trader joe’s near ASU/downtown Tempe. There are towns of comparable population to culdesac that also have 1-2 grocery stores and would require driving longer than that to reach the next one if that retailer went out of business

A lot less on a per capita served basis than it would take to drive all those people that are served by the truck to the place where the food comes from and back again
