I have been to the GOs in Hayward, Oakland and Berkeley to make sure I <br />know of what I speak: it is not a neighborhood establishment; it is a discount food and sundry operation on a large <br />scale. It is designed to attract large numbers of shoppers which is why they want this site. Easy on and out <br />access to a large parking lot and store. <br /> <br />San Leandro is a city with a lot of potential to improve and enhance the downtown shopping and working <br />environment and combine it with multiple unit housing. A chain discount supermarket is not an enhancement; <br />rather it is a disincentive to builders and buyers looking for a quality environment. Certainly we can do better and <br />we must if we are to improve the look and livability of our downtown. Thank you <br /> <br />Susan Patrick <br />986 Lee Ave. <br /> <br />6/712007 <br />
