Again, I make the same people putting the pressure on the political leaders that passed this law put the pressure on them to get rid of the law. If Wal Mart would open a few 90k square foot buildings and sell everything at their cost until they changed the law the local people wouldn't be able to pass up the savings and the competition would suffer greatly. They could also open several huge stores right on the county line and do the same thing. This would not only still hurt local competition but it would take tax revenue from San Diego County and give it to the neighboring county. I know Wal Mart would have to take a hit until the deal passed but it would send a message to the local political leaders as well as any other counties that think about doing the same thing. Wal Mart could afford to take a hit in the ten digit range and it wouldn't effect them they would easily make it back in the long term. Plus it would help to insure this does not become a popular idea among other areas of the country.
