Two Home Depots for 1,500 residents? People don't generally build the coffin at the burial.

Something tells me there is a lot more supporting that town than just their cemeteries.

There isn't anything separating Colma from the cities around it, and the area is fairly densely suburban.

There's two Targets I believe too.

It's insane. You literally leave one Target parking lot, drive under the freeway and turn into another Target parking lot. I would have decision paralysis even picking one.

The one at Serramonte Shopping Center is almost always busy/crowded. Parking can be absolutely awful. That's since it's a mall. When the "Colma" Target didn't have a pharmacy, that was the one advantage that the Serramonte one had over it.

Nowadays it's almost always better to go to the Colma one if possible to avoid the crowd.

I think someone told me a while back that the one at Serramonte is one of the best-selling Target locations in the country, which I can definitely believe.

Technically one is in Daly City and the other is in Colma. But yeah, they're both within about 2 blocks of each other (opposite sides of the freeway).
