San Francisco Breaks the Chain Stores, Strengthens Neighborhood Economies

Show page available at: https://ilsr.org/san-francisco-chain-stores-episode-31-of-the-building-local-power-podcast. San Francisco has one-third as many chain stores as the national average. That's thanks in large part to a city ordinance that restricts "formula" businesses. We talk with AnMarie Rodgers, senior policy advisor to the city’s planning department, about how the city implemented the policy, how it works, and what advice she has for other cities that want to do it too.
