A San Francisco supervisor wants to require grocery stores to provide six months of notice before closing a location
A San Francisco lawmaker introduced a proposal that would require grocery stores in the city to provide six months of notice before closing a store and to explore a replacement supermarket at the vacated location.
Dean Preston, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, introduced what he calls the Grocery Protection Act – which is based on a proposal the board approved in 1984 that was vetoed by then-San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein.
Preston's proposal would require grocery store owners to provide six months written notice to the Board of Supervisors as well as the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD).

AYN RAND has proven the be the biggest PROPHET in A VERY LONG TIME.
“If I had a grocery chain, I’d close all my stores in San Francisco on Monday.”
I would too. But we live in a world where greed completely overrides principle, logic, and rationality.
“Y’all know forcing anybody to do what they don’t want to do,
absent a crime conviction, is called slavery?”
Yes, but let’s not call it that. It might upset the communists that are seeking to become our “new masters”.
“What this really is about is total ownership of all the means of production by the government, or communism. Profit would not exist. The government would set prices and salaries.”
Yep, absolutely. Right on the money.
“...provide six months of notice before closing a location”
Hopefully a couple months after restocking for the final time.
Late afternoon BUMP
