I suppose there is the argument that you're just displacing spent income from one area to another but I don't necessarily buy that. I'm aware some people work off a budget, but I'm fortunate enough not to and if there is maybe a new restaurant or recreational thing in a part of town I haven't tried before, I might go spend money on that that I wouldn't have spent otherwise. Or would have spent on some makeup at Sephora, which doesn't exactly keep my money in my community.

I understand the argument, but most studies have shown that this scenario is either untrue or gross exaggerated by the powers that be.
