Now the Sacramento Press "reports" that groups are "concerned" about the plans for a new Foods Co-op on R Street. Do these "activists" ever rest? It's either special interests who wanna exact a level of control on everyone else or homeowners who wanna prevent competing residences (with modern amenities) from being built.
By the way is the Sacramento Press really a "news" site, or simply a forum for these types? If so, that's fine. Maybe they should change the name, however.
It's sad that after a deep recession and while Sacramento is shaking off the dust, these jackasses simply wanna be....well, jackasses! This notion that development should be planned to the hilt and have minimum negative impacts is silly. Yes, I may have to deal with things I don't like (i.e., the awful smell of wort while passing by a new microbrew pub), but I can also enjoy the things I do like (i.e., enjoying a nice beer with friends or family). I don't want a city that is "well-planned". I want a city that is a collage of businesses and residences that were built because of market demand.
More than likely (hopefully) these jackasses won't have any effect, but they still annoy the crap out of me.
