The mission is losing its soul bringing in a big box store what effect that would do. I go to the mission all I see is sameness, no culture to speak of. I am not against Jack because it is soulless already. Everything from diversity has been used up and thrown away to make way for google glass entitled techies who have priced out anyone who is not white and in tech. So what’s the problem hipsters vs hipsters. I all see is skinny jeans, coffee drinkers, chain smokers, burrito eating white people who claim to be cool, hip and all of that when plainly they are biggest users, discriminators, anti community and anti humanity. Jack is not the problem look in the mirror and you will find your problem.

Easy. Get involved with neighborhood activist organizations. Just arrived? That’s fine. You’re still just as welcome to help protect the area from those that wish to destroy it.

I love all these uber white hipsters defining what the mission is all about. The gentrifiers are safe from gentrification!

Hey I just moved here from “x small liberal arts college” and I want to defend the community – how can I help?

I bet the “Jack Off” businesses will discover that their landlords won’t renew their leases at any price. That’s what really happened with Adobe Books.

Johnny L, you can’t compare Philz Coffee’s presence in The Mission to Jack Spade’s. Philz didn’t move here, it started here. Big difference!
Keeping The Mission local is exactly what gives small merchants a chance to become successful, like Philz Coffee. God Bless um. I hope other great locally owned business’ like Therapy, Puerto Alegre, Tartine and Delfina can do the same. That is of course, if Olive Garden doesn’t come in and price them out of their space when the lease is up.

Good for Tom. Yes — this kind of store was exactly what his legislation sought to prevent. Represent.

I moved to the Mission because it was obvious that real estate prices would soar. I’m just kicking myself for not buying more.

No, this conversation doesn’t seem particularly motivated by anger to me. If anything more from the leave-Jack-Spade-alone side, which seems to be the opposite of what JackuAround was saying.

I’m not sure why I need to weigh in on whatever happened with Pet Food Express, wasn’t that in the Marina? This post was specifically addressing the neighborhood and community of the Mission.
