Damn that is unfortunate. Out of curiosity, what is the population density?
I am in a 50k city in a 300k county. Much smaller and selection plummets and quality and cost get highly variable.
When I lived in a larger city of 2 mil I found the prices to be reliably higher, with quality (sometimes) matching. But Portland OR sort of made a ‘thing’ about quality street food vs your average street vendor, so my experiences may already be skewed.
