"Starbucks BAD, Printers' Inc Cafe GOOD. Any questions?"

"This is totally unneccessary to put this shop in, as they have one just a few blocks away. Starbucks is documented to have 2x or more the caffeine of other coffee, to hook people on their product. This reminds me of tobacco company tactics."

"Palo Alto needs to get serious about proactively preserving locally owned businesses. They help preserve a unique character, and they reinvest their earnings back into the community at much higher rates than do chain stores, which siphon their profits off"

"I live a block from California Avenue, and have seen with dismay the character of the street begin to change as we lose bookstores and bakeries and gain yet one beauty salon after another. We don't need another chain store like Starbucks!"

"there is already a Starbucks just a few blocks away!! Please preserve the unique character of our neighborhood shops."

"i don't believe starbucks would "compete unfairly," it would just compete, and detract from the uniqueness of the local character of the street."

"Noah's didn't make it because we wanted to keep Izzy in business. That should be proof positive that we are not mass consumers and we support local businesses like Printers' Inc., JJ&F. We don't mind slower service. We enjoy it."
