I think they’re building one in South Kingstown, that’s not a poor area.

Oh there's a poor area there though. Over behind where pasty's liquors used to be. By the rotary

Oddly enough it is right next to the police station. As for the area you mentioned, there used to be a cheap corner store trying for that same income bracket but it didn't last too long.

I think a big part of it is the fact that there’s no big box store serving the URI population, except for the Walmart up by Wickford Junction which is still 15-20 minutes away

Located near the low income housing section and the senior assisted living home. It's walkable by both areas.

Yes, they are, but it’s by far not a “poor” section, especially compared to the areas in Warwick that look like developing nations.
