No Orchard Supply Hardware in Alameda, Please!!!
That's all we need, more pickup trucks adding to the already congested Park Street traffic.
Plus, with Home Depot within 5 minutes' drive, not to Mention Encinal Hardware and Pagano's, an Orchard Supply will be an unnecessary evil on Alameda.
No OSH in Alameda!!!

Alameda's share of sales tax is 1%- even if we were able to capture all of the estimated $41 million in leakage per year, that translates only to about $410,000 per year. Not nearly enough to make up for auto-row. Rather than bringing in more retail, Alameda's leaders need to figure out how to bring in jobs and businesses that generate business-to-business revenue.
