Closing due to crime, Dems struggle to avoid “food deserts.”

[SaveFerris]

Theft by Democrats causing too many food deserts?

Giving EBT and SNAP not enough? All leading to......

First, it will be food deserts, Amazon One, logging in with palm print or cellphone, end of brick and mortar stores that simply CANNOT survive the theft by those who think it is their "right" to steal whatever they want.

When these things happen and they WILL happen - it will be the biggest life-changing event on planet Earth - Jesus said then shall be Great Tribulation such as never was

(Lurkers please click HERE OR on my screen name to see my FR homepage for more information - will open in a new window from HERE - God bless)

Retail will be forced into installing more secure systems - When the Mark of the Beast comes I expect this kind of shopping to be rather "normal" in society - or will spread very quickly.

OK Ill stay open and refuse to stock the shelves of merch looted

[Apparatchik]

Start one of those hippie co-ops - they may suck in quality and selection, but they don’t go out of business.

Oh wait - yes they do.

Kensington Community Food Co-op has closed, despite significant efforts to keep it going

I don’t know how to post pictures, but I would post the chinaman in a dunce cap, for this. If Safeway thinks they’re avoiding this, they’re nuts. Pull in the closure date to the 6-month minimum and pull out. Otherwise, you’ll be the one getting a public flogging.

Actually, this is a great way to end these gubmint gi-me-dat cards. Just leave no where they can be used.

[ComputerGuy]

The arrogance of those clowns is astounding.

[aquila48]

Of course this will have just the opposite effect.

[aquila48]

No mention of the real reason they’re closing.

[MeanWestTexan]

Become a “members” store. They have to sign up,, present a credit card and valid ID, and get a background check for theft or violence for the last decade.

No guests. Pay a fee.

Now, this would never work in a typical crime ridden democratic hellhole. But you could do malicious compliance.

[9YearLurker]

Corner stores effectively being “nationalized” (or “cityized” in this case).

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Well, the answer to that is No. Private business, do as they deem appropriate. “Decree” to be ignored.

[SpaceBar]

The end-state of marxist control is North Korea where The State owns you absolutely, and leaving isn’t an option.

[DAC21]

Let the Marxist politicians open and operate their own dang stores. One could develop a TV drama series filming in one of their stores. It could be named “Lack of Law and Order”

[Jimmy Valentine]

So they will pass an ordinance demanding stores stay in business while doing nothing about crime. How blinking stupid are these people.

[The Antiyuppie]

Six months. Why not 10 years? 20?

[Gaffer]

Let them (the new desert denizens) learn how to become one of them leftist, hippie, epicurean urban foragers. There’s all kinds of weeds, grasses, twigs and scum silt I think would be to their liking. “Gutter-to-Table” in a few easy trips.

Dean E. Preston (born 1969 or 1970)[1] is an American attorney and member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. In November 2019, Preston won a special election to finish Mayor London Breed’s term on the Board of Supervisors. He was re-elected in the November 2020 election.

Born and having grown up in New York City, Preston graduated from Bowdoin College with a degree in anthropology and economics before moving to San Francisco. He graduated with a J.D. from UC Hastings College of the Law and was staff attorney for the Tenderloin Housing Clinic from 2000 to 2008, after which he founded and led Tenants Together, a tenant advocacy organization. Preston is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Every single grocery store should give 6 month notice. Big ones. Little ones. All of them. As of Aug 8, there will be no food for sale in the city. At all.

Now, having given notice can’t possibly lock any store into that decision — they could change their mind and stay open, so it costs them nothing to simply say “I plan to close in August”.

But it would sure send a message that if the City gets all Uppity, the people who make things run are Going Galt.

[Iron Munro]

Thanks for the warning.

Now the few that are left know to save themselves and get out now while the gittin’ is good!

[CIB-173RDABN]

This is the same thinking that creates things like “rent control” which eventually leads to less rental units.

What grocery business will open in San Francisco knowing that that they would lose more in theft then they make as profit?

Rather then improve the situation laws like this make things worse.

[GOPJ]

Democrats make hellhole neighborhoods then try to stop people, stores and businesses from escaping.

That’s wrong. People have the right to escape evil.

Dean Preston, the man behind this insanity is stupid or gullible or he’s pretending to be decent. He’s not. In a free society humans are allowed to escape the filth evil creates and they’re under no obligation to put their employees lives at risk.
