I don&#039;t believe all the facts have been considered; like the&amp;nbsp;new condos being built on 40th and San Pablo which could boost sales to the store in the near future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;&amp;quot;MsoNormal&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&amp;quot;Apple-style-span&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;Like Starbucks or not, improving San Pablo Avenue depends on changing it from an auto dominated highway, to a more pedestrian friendly avenue. Our objectives&amp;nbsp;are more likely to take hold when all the adjacent retail spaces are occupied with quality businesses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;&amp;quot;MsoNormal&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;&amp;quot;Apple-style-span&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;If you care, I&amp;rsquo;m asking you to sign this petition. Then stop by, say hi to the friendly staff and support our neighborhood Starbucks on San Pablo and 43rd.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;&amp;quot;MsoNormal&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!--EndFragment--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<description>I support this petition. As a resident of the Emeryville Triangle neighborhood, Starbucks is a wonderful addition to our local community. It's extremely unfair to close this location after only a few months.
Please frequent this Starbucks!</description>
