How can a Wal-Mart answer to complaints from a community such as traffic congestion around the area where the store is built, environmental degradation, a negative effect on downtown commerce, the money spent at Wal-Mart might not be recycled
in the town, and the sense that the town would lose it “homey” identity.??

Wal-mart: "Let the community decide whether or not we are a good thing." (Not a direct quote from anyone affiliated with Wal-mart). If people go there and it's doing well then Wal-mart is justified (as far as their business is concerned) in being there. I have never seen a Wal-mart as a bad thing and I don't care what the allegations are, if there is a Wal-mart near where I am, I am going to go there.

The problem is that the community rather have the Wal-Mart for the prices instead of dealing with higher prices. Want Wal-Mart to address these problems? Talk to your community, not Wal-Mart, it's not their responsibility. The people cause the congestion.

They don't seem to have been given a "real" reason not to expand. Their customer base has not receeded despite such concerns, and the sky is the limit, money being the driver. Only legislation to limit wholesaling our sense of self-worth will be successful in the end. Write your congressman.
