[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Mary Cheh and David Catania to the rescue: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/mike-debonis/wp/2014/10/06/safeways-palisades-plans-at-issue-in-tuesday-d-c-council-vote/ They are introducing a bill on Tuesday to prohibit covenants forbidding grocery stores. [/quote] This is great, I hope it passes. Screw Safeway. [/quote] Not sure how restricting a private covenant is enforceable, but that's kind of beside the point. Really Safeway is saying to the market it's one price with no grocery store, but if someone wants to "buy" the grocery business it's just going to cost more. The fact that this is business 101 and seems to be escaping everyone here and in the Palisades is amusing to me. Even without the covenant though there is little chance of a grocer here. The building and site does not support a modern grocer use at the price some condo developer is going to pay. [/quote]
