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.

Marin County Pension Fund Plans Sale of $129MM Bay Area Portfolio - Is this a good idea or will retirees suffer?

The Registry is reporting that the Marin County Pension Fund is planning to bring $129MM to the sale market and if they get the terms they hope for, they plans to sell specific assets.  The proceeds will then go into a commingled national fund of real estate assets.

Part of me is not a fan of this.  If these assets have been held for 15 years or so as reported, then the current basis for these properties should be low meaning rents should be more than covering the expenses - why sell?  What if the commingled funds don't experience the same historical performance?

I know many "buy and hold" owners who never sell anything and they seem to prefer knowing their properties extremely well, knowing their tenants well, and understanding the market fundamentals.

See here for the article and let me know your thoughts.
