we know from experience hayes valuvalley and other places it't easy to bring in a store into a small neighborhood. i ask you again to please let us have a grocery store. please don't let them kill it, i am begging you, please let us have a grocery store. >> thank you mr. carr. next speaker please. >> my name is michellburg, i have been a business owner on polk for 16 years and in the neighborhood for close to 20. i am opposed to the amazon on polk street. i don't think they have adequately explained how the upstairs will be utilized and the plans for lockers and the ability to use the space for a hub. the merchants are small independents that have been negatively impacted by amazon and whole foods, does it make sense to allow them to have a presence on our street. why would they not locate on van ness to serve the area? amazons and whole foods is predatory and practices a business model that destroys it's competition. makes no sense for them to be right next to a multitude of small businesses. the city the in dire need of housing. why would whole foods be pre mitted to take the space
