Folks in the Palisades have no one to blame but themselves.

It’s always rich when I hear someone from the Palisades complain about having to drive for groceries.

Safeway was going to build a brand new store on the site of the old one with housing on top and the community said hell no and Safeway packed up…the NIMBYs won the battle but last the war.

IIRC, something similar happened in Spring Valley a while (~10 years) back. Safeway wanted to build a store with housing on top and the community pushed back.
