[0] 8. A Utah-based corporation has left the former Real Food Company space on 24th Street vacant for over three years. Some say the shuttered store has not only hurt the former employees, but harmed the economic vitality of the entire commercial strip. How should the city deal with this situation--and chain stores in general? Dufty: Noe Valleyites know of my work throughout the Real Food saga. I held Board hearings, secured City cooperation for the Noe Valley Farmers' Market, and secured Congresswoman Pelosi's help on the employee complaint before the National Labor Relations Board. Nutraceutical has ignored everything. But I have worked with Harley DeLano on his purchase of Cala/Bell. That ensures we'll have an even better Bell Market, which cares about its employees and the neighborhood. Rosenthal: Supervisor Dufty has not been able to answer why Real Foods is still empty and blighted. As a real estate attorney, I know that we can bring the owners to the table with the threat of eminent domain or a public nuisance suit. I support Prop. G--it is essential to maintain our neighborhood character and protect our small mom-and-pop shops and restaurants from the predatory anti-competitive practices of mega-stores and formula retail.
Starchild: Let's require chain stores to install RFID chip readers at store entrances, and require chain store opponents to get RFID chip implants. Any time such a person attempted to enter a chain store, the RFID detector's beeping would remind them of their values.... OK, I'm kidding again. But if you dislike chain stores, put your money where your mouth is -- don't shop there! Chain stores prosper in San Francisco because many residents are hypocrites.
