This will lead to higher prices at the grocery stores since there won't be as much competition. Kroger will have an monopoly on the grocery market. Should not be allowed.

I don't like Fred myer, to big and for its size not much of a selection. I like Safeway the best because of variety. We don't need another big chain. If this merger is allowed all we have left is 2 big chain stores and prices will probably go up when they shutdown the smaller Safeway and Albertson

Mergers always seem to mean higher prices, so I am against them in general.

Concern that a merger will likely increase prices, but in this current economy, there are so many factors in play.

not a good idea ..Kroger has horrible selection and seems like they've been phasing out a lot of name brands...

Kroger has always been cheaper than Albertsons so I see a drop in prices in the future.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
