Tim, It may be because Peet's got its start in Berkeley and Starbuck's in Seattle and San Francisco cuts more slack to local businesses. Still, there are many, MANY more Starbuck's stores in San Francisco proper than there are Peet's stores. 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. - Holly
