Laz, "I am aware that S has its own foreign policy" ROFLOL!! That's for sure! Again, it was the fine citizens of the Richmond District who did not want the Starbuck's in their neighborhood. This has noting to do with San Francisco restricting Starbuck's right to ply their wares. Still, there are many, MANY more Starbuck's stores in San Francisco proper than there are Peet's stores. "Maybe people like Starbuck's more. Who are you to argue with that?" I'm not arguing with it, but I do doubt it. Besides, I'm a Yuban aficionado, remember? Again, the merchants and the citizenry of the San Francisco Richmond District did NOT want a Starbuck's in their neighborhood. I believe neighborhoods should have the right to decide what businesses and activities they want to allow. "By name or by an ordinance crafted such as to be aimed specifically to favor them? No." The Richmond District is rife with coffeehouses. It's not like there is a shortage. Besides, I see Starbuck's as the Microsoft of coffee houses, and I believe the fine folk of the Richmond District may have had the same apprehensions. Chew on that a bit, if you like. <g> - Holly
