Okay, if you normalize it to account for the number of restaurants per area (and restaurants in general(, what happens? I would guess that In-N-Out only has that many return visits because of the separation between stores, and the lack of them. I can get the same food at three McD's in a day within two miles. Why should I be loyal to a location?

They want the plant closed, maybe - but when those workers are unemployed, the people saying NIMBY aren't going to be willing to pay bills for them or support them. We need jobs, we need businesses paying taxes in NJ. Until there's a plan in place to make sure those people are employed, and there's some guarantee of tax rev as well, we need those businesses.

If there is a 'local goal', then there should be more competition and someone should have bought them out. It shouldn't be a question of who's going in there, it should be that the moment 7-11 is out, there's a business champing at the bit to go in.
