This map needs to be scaled by rent cost/sqft for commercial real estate in the county. Otherwise, the results are really just a pass-thru of rent in the burrito price.

There's always a comment like this I find. Some extra layer of data people want to see that explains the first layer, and it never ends - the data on data. Sometimes we just want to know the damn burrito prices and don't care about the excuses.

Taco Bell had felt pretty expensive for many years now. But there is just no alternative so I’m not too surprised they were able to pull it off.

There are a ton of alternatives to Taco Bell, “good, inexpensive tacos” are a whole thing, taco trucks, etc.

Unless you are specifically looking for drain-o for your digestive system.

My usual time for Taco Bell is well past when taco trucks are open. For me it's "the tastiest and healthiest [late night food] on the go".

Healthiest?

I haven’t eaten there in a while but I don’t recall thinking it was healthy at all, quite the opposite.
