"I want to share a few thoughts, as resident and economic development practitioner, about big economic reasons for retail vacancies. Prompted by concerns about vacancies at Kimco centers, and formerly at Eureka Square, my comments are general because I can’t speak for retail property owners. However, retail issues and perspectives merit discussion, because the industry plays an important role in our city."

Thank you Ann for your hard work and significant efforts to develop Pacifica's economy. Unfortunately Pacifica's true colors have become even more apparent than ever as a town run by eco-bullies who really only want one thing for Pacifica.....NOTHING for anyone but themselves. You are one of many brave souls who have tried to stand up to these fascists only to fail because of their deceptive and thuggish tactics.
We had a majority pragmatic council for a nano-second and they were beginning to make progress. However it was blown up by an unethical candidate, Deirdre Martin and her puppet masters, taking us back to the failed policies that have been slowly killing our town for many decades. Now the sold out Pacifica Tribune is facilitating the spread of extremely deceptive propaganda by the likes of Cynthia Kaufman who is trying to create a new normal in our town.
There is nothing new or normal about her or her cohorts. They are the extreme edge of NIMBYism and are really only motivated by their sick mantra "I've got mine, screw everyone else."
Thanks for trying Ann. Hopefully you will find an honest town run by compassionate people who want things to improve for all of it's citizens instead of the selfish and self-appointed elite.
Pacifica's economic development is now based on marijuana:unlimited stores,testing facility,processing,etc.Pacifica can't wait and council gives a wink to unlicensed stores.Economic Director Stedler was left in dust as Beach Blvd languishes and library is on back burner.Little to look forward to as Economic Director.Do we really need an Economic Director?
No we don't need an economic developer. We need a good bankruptcy attorney to get us through what we will undoubtedly face in the very near future. When the county finally takes over the eco-fascists are done. The county is not going to waste it's time or resources on the silly special interest projects that NOBY's are always dreaming up.
For those of you scoring at home, "Economic Development" in Pacifica is a lot like "Military Intelligence" in D.C.
So Ritzma is your position, "oh well........ there's nothing we can do about it"?
What I am saying, 3:45, is show me one time in the past 50 years when there has been true "economic development" in Pacifica. Just one. I know, "Trump's fault". Got it.
Apparently you haven't lived here for 50 years. How do you think this whole town got started?
There was a lot of economic development in the early days. Roads, schools, sewage treatment, fire, police, shopping malls, movie theatre, car dealership, all the usual stuff in spite of the fact that we were a bedroom community to SF.
The slow roll towards fiscal sustainability had begun and many people were very excited about the prospects of our little community growing up and becoming a safe and pleasant place to live including the prospects of our kids starting their own families and households as time advanced.
Suddenly the faux-enviros took root and embellished their superior intellect and compassion for the natural environment. Hard to argue with their early goals. Their movement quickly devolved into NO!!!!! on anything that might impinge on what they felt was "their" entitlement. Their unstated mantra became "i got mine, screw everybody else". John Curtis, who was their Grand Pubah, led the pack of anti everything hypocrites and spawned many wanna be's like Peter Loeb, Dinah Verby, Nancy Hall........ and the list goes on.
So at one time there was an appreciation of the importance of reasonable economic development to sustain and protect our beautiful coastal townd. That mind set has been completely stolen and villanized by this small, loud, well organized and highly hypocritical actors and now they are utterly destroying our economy and thus our town.
O.K. 7:58, you win. 50 years ago there was some economic development at startup time. Big F'n deal! Back in the 1940's, there was actually some military intelligence in D.C. We wouldn't have defeated Hitler's Germany if there wasn't. The fact that so many commercial ventures have left our fine, prosperous town tells me everything I need to know about modern day economic development in Pathetica.
So if I were you, 7:58, I would try waking up (instead of insulting) some of the Repubs/conservatives and Libertarians in this town - you know, the same ones you try so hard to alienate with your obnoxious MSNBC talking points. It may surprise you but they would agree much more with your local economic philosophy than say your fellow liberal Democrats who voted for Hillary and kneel at the altar of Curtis.
