Raleigh's Forgotten Neighborhoods: The Food Desert Crisis No One Is Talking About

Residents of Hayes Barton, Oakwood, and Cameron Park — or 'Forest Park,' as a few residents insist — are miles from the nearest drive-through, and they are not taking it anymore

By Kent Davison  ·  April 20, 2026

For years, advocates and elected officials have failed to reckon with one of the most pressing and underreported access crises facing Raleigh's residential neighborhoods.

An earlier report stated that the Wake County Commissioner described the budget proposal as 'fiscally responsible.' The Commissioner used the phrase 'fiscally responsible' but was referring to a different proposal. The original proposal was described as 'bold.' We regret that we cannot identify which proposal is which at this time.

Correction · April 3, 2026

Ungrammared has never reported on the Raleigh Belt Line Trail. A correction published April 1 stated that we had. That correction was itself incorrect. We are looking into it.
