We shouldn't be comparing Downtown Seattle's situation to SA's. The cities are nothing alike.
Downtown Seattle has a daytime population of over 200,000 and somewhere between 25,000-30,000 of those being residents. San Antonio's daytime population doesn't even get close to 100,000 with somewhere between 2,000-5,000 of them being residents (maybe, depending on the boundary used).
Seattle definately needed a downtown grocer, but they only got one this past summer. The way the real estate and apartment market is now, it would not be feasible as kornbread has allready posted.
