CPMC's core business has nothing to do with retail (except for medical center gift and sports medicine shops) and everything to do with operating a world class medical center.

It will be great to have the street line back on the west side of Van Ness, it's terrible the way it is now. I'm referring to the east side of Van Ness where there used to be a 24 hour doughnut shop, a furniture store, a Peruvian restaurant and Geary where there was a couple bars. I'm sure street level will look nicer when these buildings are finished, but Van Ness is becoming more and more auto-oriented as pedestrians have fewer reasons to go there.
