If approved, the store would open in 2018." http://patch.com/california/dublin/ikea-aims-open-dublin-0 http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160315005192/en/IKEA-Submits-Plans-Store-Dublin-California-Open Many residents of Dublin fought against this in 2002 and at the time succeeded. http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2006/11/13/daily49.html http://observer.sanramonexpress.com/user/Wake%20Up%20Dublin.pdf  While there is always merit to increasing the revenue for a town, there are many reasons this is a bad idea. At some point enough has to be enough.
