A proposed ordinance in the City of San Diego will require an evaluation of the economic impact of a Superstore before it is built to promote and preserve small and neighborhood businesses by making a finding of whether or not a Superstore would create a material adverse economic impact on a neighborhood community. The report will analyze both positive and negative economic impacts on a community, such as job creation and loss, potential small business displacement, housing or open space displacement, impact in city revenues, creation of blight, impact on neighborhood grocery stores, and access to low-cost goods. Sign up to support good jobs, small and neighborhood businesses, and your local community!
The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and the City Council can no longer pretend we are not watching them. We are forcing them to look at the damage their corporate partners cause to our communities.

Finally someone is looking out for the little guy. The big chains just bring traffic and garbage.

Keep the big box stores out. They just kill the local shops and send all the money out of state. Stick to the neighborhood stores.

Good luck with this. Hope the city actually listens for once instead of just taking the corporate money.
