The closure of Safeway's Fillmore location has left the neighborhood without access to a full-service grocery store. Despite officials acknowledging the community's needs, they indicated that finding a replacement could take years. Supervisor Bilal Mahmood aims to address past injustices in this historic Black and immigrant neighborhood, but he faces frustration from residents who feel there are no clear solutions. Safeway plans to sell the property for mixed-use development, adding to residents' concerns about food access and accountability from city leaders.
"Someone needs to be accountable, and right now I don't think anyone's actually accountable."
