Want more food deserts in San Francisco?
Here's how you get more food deserts in San Francisco.
According to Reason magazine: The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is considering a remarkable policy that would allow people to sue grocery stores that close too quickly.
Earlier this week, Supervisors Dean Preston and Aaron Peskin introduced an ordinance that, if passed, would require grocery stores to provide six months' written notice to the city before closing down.

This is insane. If you cannot keep the product on the shelf and actually make enough overhead to stay in business . . . WTH? This is a sign that if you can escape CA do so. If you want to start a business do it someplace else. CA needs to wall themselves off from the rest of us and become their own little crazy country. Or here's hoping that finally the "big one" hits CA and they just crack and break off from the rest of the USA and float away. Or perhaps we are hoping for communist government run stores. Yeah, that's the ticket. Total communist control will solve everything. I truly am speechless thinking that someone, somewhere thinks this is a legal, viable option. My, God, we truly are circling the toilet bowl.

We gave the City notification, they threw it in the trash, here is our copy, BYE BYE, I guess the Citizens have to shop in the Commie City/State Store, where the shelves are always bare!

So they cannot close for 6 months. They don't have to keep much in stock or keep the place clean or had enopugh checkers and they can even change their open times.

Communists don't have the slightest grasp of even the most basic concepts of actual economics.

It must be the “fog” seeping into the heads of San Franciscans. How else to explain such idiocy?

Just don't keep restocking. After a couple of days the 'shoppers' will close the store for you.

People assume this is just another case of insane lie-beral control of the peasants.
But I don't think that is it at all. I think the lie-berals that run this city are trying to run out the peasants out of town as soon as possible -- knowing they will have no choice but to sell their properties at rock bottom prices -- and the buyers will be rich limousine lie-berals like those that run the city. Once they run all the peasants out and own all the property, they will suddenly address the homelessness, drugs addicts pooping in the streets, and insane government over-regulation, and make San Fornication super desirable all the while making a fortune selling all those former peasant properties to new rich limousine lie-beral buyers.
And, I have to admit, if I was a peasant (or even a major store chain corporation) and owned a store in San Fornication, I would have my store(s) shut down tomorrow and be gone to a sane state!!!

Limit the store hours.
Don't replenish the stock.
California is weird.

The Eagles had it right about California:
You can check out, but you can never leave.

It seems to me that the only way that a store could stay in operation is to go to a type of operation where the customers pre-order by 'phone or online, make electronic pre-payment, then either pick up their groceries at a service window, curb delivery, or home delivery. This is assuming that the Thugs don't just steal the groceries from either the delivery person or the customer as soon as they are exposed outside the store.
As for me, I'm safely tucked away in a nice quiet part of Flyover Country, a long way from Kommieformia.

'Frisco is trying to shut the barn door after the horse took off 3 or so years ago--the horse isn't coming back. Get over it. Let the people build a grocery co-op. Isn't there one American left who has sand, or grit, or whatever it took when they dug the gold out of them-thar hills??

The store owners should demand that any resident of the city who plans on leaving must give the store six months notice. Failure to do so allows the store to sue their potential customers.

Just when you begin to believe that California has reached the apex of lunacy you are reminded that there really isn't an upper limit. San Fransicko was a basket case ten years ago, I wouldn't go anywhere near the place now.
Love those TV ads attempting to attract tourists to California. The desperation just grabs at you.

So now the shopkeepers are criminals and the criminals who steal from them everyday have more rights than the shopkeepers? Sounds like a Democrat run city. Someday someone will look back at this and write a play comedy about it. Right now it is not funny...it is appalling.

A prudent store manager in San Francisco would issue his six months notification on the 1st day of every month, just in case.
An especially prudent store manager would leave San Francisco and California YESTERDAY.
