I live next to Anchor Brewery. I hope it shuts down and becomes a mall.

Who was there first?
they were there first.
strange decision to move there then, ey?
Not really. Close to work, okay walkable amenities. It could even be better.
Another mall is the last thing that SF needs. Anchor needs to stay, and a co-op would be quite fitting. Why the hate?
No hate, would like more walkable utility around my house. We could probably pack a lot more stores and services in the two blocks Anchor occupies.
Why?
I think it takes up 2 blocks that could probably fit 10-20 businesses that could provide more utility, goods, and services than 1 brewing company.

Have you ever had a beer before? Or are you friends with someone who has had a beer before? Beer doesn’t just fall out of the sky, so it must be made somewhere.

Do you care about climate change? If so, then you should care about liquids being shipped as short of a distance as possible.

Edit: Also, the brewery moved to the neighborhood approximately 100 years before you did. Why did you choose to move to the area if you didn’t want to be next to them when there was no indication that they would be leaving anytime soon?
