Let's suburbanize the Redwoods! If you would like the convenience of thousands of shops to choose from( like you can't do that online already), move closer to a bigger existing city. Walmart is never accountable to communities and never pays its fair share of local taxes. How much is Eureka forking over to "lure" walmart here. Also, the mall is NOT locally owned, so the rent money walmart pays - also leaves the area. This is not growth. This is the strip-mall-ization of small town America
Sounds like a lose-lost situation to me.
