Residents clash over 99-cent store

Residents clash over 99-cent store

SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) -

While everything in the 99 Cent Only Store proposed for a Pacific Heights neighborhood would cost less than $1, neighbors are not sure the addition would come without a price.

 The 99 Cent Only Store is hoping to open its first San Francisco discount house on the 1300 block of Post Street between Gough and Franklin streets, the former site of a Ralphs grocery store, that has been vacant for a year. The area is labeled Pacific Heights, though many residents still consider it part of Cathedral Hill or Japan town.

Some nearby residents say the proposed bargain store would clash with the high-end neighborhood, attract people from outside the area and pose a safety risk.
