I can't say I disagree with this. I've been a lot of places where they charge for grocery bags. As a result I have a lot of nice souvenir shopping bags from all over the world. It just became a habit of carrying them in the boot (trunk) of the car and quite honestly I found it very sensible. I now carry my shooting supplies in some of those bags when I go to the range. They're tough and serve many purposes.

The author of the article obviously disguised the intent of the measure. San Francisco is a city, not a store, and it desires to tax--not charge money for--grocrery bags. This is just another liberal mecca finding some excuse to impose new taxes on its already overburdened working classes.

I spend $1400/month to feed five children. They meet me at the curb with a polished up cart, a cup of coffee and every damn bag I need. How would the fruits in SanFran treat me for being so wastefully procreative.
