San Francisco: 19 McDonald's, 37 medical marijuana clinics

SFChronicle: Pot clinics just keep growing / Third dispensary planned for same street in S.F.'s Ingleside district

"There are 44 McDonald's in all of Manhattan -- more than any location in the world -- and we have 37 marijuana dispensaries in San Francisco,'' fumes Dogpatch Neighborhood Association President Susan Eslick, who just learned of plans for a new dope dealership down the street from her, at the corner of Third and 20th streets.
For comparison, San Francisco has only 19 McDonald's.

I of course have no opinion about the optimal number or placement of marijana clinics, being content to let the market decide. And I didn't take much note of the argument of the woman quoted, or the article's interesting word choices.

I just found the raw figures interesting, because they could provide people a frame of reference they might otherwise lack.

Many people might not be able to imagine a single legal marijuana dispensary, if their life experience is in less tolerant jurisdictions. Even people in SF might not realize how many are in operation -- because unlike McDonald's, they don't advertise their presence with bright branded signage. (The only legal marijuana dispensaries I've noticed had very discreet, nondescript doorways, and I've probably walked by others without noticing.)

But people worldwide know McDonald's, and have a 'feel' for the density of McDonald's in different neighborhoods. So in one narrow dimension -- number of walk-in outlets -- knowledge of McDonald's outlet density can be used to bootstrap a rough sense of the medical marijuana clinic outlet density in SF.
