And base that delivery fee on distance between the restaurant and the customer as well. They can solve it they want to. People in treasure might be willing to pay a higher fee than to not get any delivery at all. Itβs political posturing and pressure tactics.

They already do that for taxi rides, right? A longer taxi ride doesn't get magically cheaper because it's going to/from low income housing. It's all transportation, and transportation gets more expensive for a longer distance.
