Home Depot Drops Plans for Bayview Store - unfortunate

Most cities the size of San Francisco have a Home Depot.  Home Depot has tried to open a store in the City for a very long time.  The Chronicle and SF Business Times are reporting that a deal to open a store is now on hold.

Both the City and its residents are losing here - we can use both the $600 million in sales taxes and the jobs.

Who wins here?  Other cities like Colma win (which is where I shop), affording them continued tax revenue and jobs.

This is an easy deal to strike - the City just needs to make it happen like the Twitter deal and corresponding concessions which helped get that deal done.

Visit here for the story.
