I think you're arguing past me. I agree the policies are garbage. However, just because Walgreens is shutting down in SF, it doesn't mean that no one can make it profitable. They have a standardized way of running their stores and it might not be worth it to run one like that in SF. Someone who's local may be able to run a profitable store with a different approach. You might not get as much selection and you might not have as pleasant a shopping experience, but it can still work. There's plenty of pharmacy-type stores in the ghettos of America. I think what you're saying is that you're frustrated at the trajectory of San Francisco and you want it to change. I do too, but I see it as inevitable. Now it's time to watch it all slowly crumble.
