Walmart Woos; San Diego Plays Hard to Get
What is going on with San Diego public officials lately? Are they oblivious to the unemployment woes of many San Diegans and the fact that most San Diegans-except those in politics-are hurting and need, not only variety but low cost foods? Not to mention the jobs that a Wal-Mart Super Store would bring to the area and the revenue from taxes. Did they not just try to raise the sale tax because they need money? I'm not against Mom and Pop stores but let's face it, they can't compete and because they can't they don't have the variety or the prices that people need. Most people who shop at these stores are close neighbors who either have no way to get to a super store or is just too inconvinient and therefore they are essentially a captive adudience who will continue to shop at the corner Mom and Pop.— November 4, 2010 8:39 a.m.
