A bad place for a good project

What is Harris thinking???? I've got to look and see where he lives. We have 4
grocery stores (Korte's, Mississippi Market, Kowalski's, and Lunds). that are
locally owned within a mile or two of that location. Plus we have Whole Foods
in that same radius. We do not need another grocery store!!! We do not need
more traffic!!! We do not need more retail!!! We do not need to put our home
grown groceries out of business or stress them for Trader Joe's. Is Harris
getting some kind of kick-back?? These so called jobs are going to come at the
expense of loosing the local grocery stores. This is like Wallmart in the
little town. Just say no to low prices they come with a cost. And that cost is
loss of local business.
I'm really wondering about the kind of thinking that brings this crap into
neighborhoods. I haven't seen one shred of reliable evidence that my local
grocery stores and my co-op won't be taking a hit for this. Has all common
sense left the council chambers?
Jeez - I'm really frustrated in St. Paul less than a 3 blocks from this crappy
development idea.
