It's a "food desert" because the neighborhood is full of thieves, druggies, homeless and people on food stamps. A commercial enterprise can't deal with the crime and remain viable. These bonehead Democrat politicians have never run a business or even worked for one so they just don't get it.

If you won’t let the grocery store close even with rampant stealing, the end result is store owners start giving free lead samples.

Making it very difficult to close a store also makes it very risky to open a store.
But of course liberals (oops, I mean progressives) never think about consequences. It’s all about what feels good at the moment. So pass the bill, then wonder why no new stores are opening.

Sounds like this will substantially decrease the value of some grocer chains and reduce their appeal for acquisition.

“We will FORCE you to stay open and suffer huge losses to the druggies, reparationists, and homeless thieves.”
Now that is a sure-fire recipe for American greatness and success.

So pass the bill, then wonder why no new stores are opening. Why, that'll be because of racism.

So, what if the store suffers a catastrophic fire?

Being that it’s California, the grocery stores COULD just identify as hardware stores. Then, this bill would not apply to them.

If a grocery store closes down now, who gets the blame?
local govt? can’t have that.

Moving right along the merry lane to Directive 10-289. Point Two was:
Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.

The grocery chains will just shut down stores before an acquisition. That or they will sell the bad stores to a small business that will then declare bankruptcy and shut all the stores.

“No Mr. city politician. We’re not closing. We’re just limiting hours and only carrying non-refrigerated/frozen items (and no produce) with long expiration dates with prices under $3.00 per item.
Our new hours are 8:00 to 9:00 AM Mon-Fri”

Smart store owners will close now before the politicians have a chance to do stupid stuff.

But WAIT! There is more!
“Second, the written notice must provide a written analysis and explanation of how residents living in the geographic area designated as a food desert will be able, at comparable cost to purchase food after the establishment ceases being fully operational and open to the public, as well as a profit and loss statement for the establishment for the two years prior to the merger attested to by a responsible officer of the successor employer.”
