Arena debate aside, I don't think that area needs or could even support another grocery store at this point. I'm not sure if there's anywhere in the city with more of them in such a small area. There's the new Giant in Fashion District, Mom's Organic Market, Trader Joe's, the markets in Chinatown, and Target within a couple of blocks (in different directions). Not to mention some smaller stores such as VIP Market on Walnut, 2 7/11s, etc.

I meant commercial below residential. Not necessarily a grocery, although I’m sure a Lidl or Aldi would be welcomed. The prices in most of those markets are $$$

Gotcha, that makes sense. Yeah I used to live right by Mom’s and it’s infuriatingly expensive… but I still went 🙄
