[A]t the end of 2006 the area for the ban was enlarged to include Capitol Hill, the University District, and most of the CD (the map was carefully drawn to include every convenience store in our neighborhood). And now, 18 months later, we've got the first report on how it's working: hardly at all.In the P.I. piece CDN links to, reporter Angela Galloway notes that city officials call the ban "doomed without reforms to deal with market changes"...
