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.
Supermarket operators would also have to make "good faith" efforts to ensure the continued availability of groceries at their shuttered location, either through finding a successor store, helping residents form a grocery co-op, or any other plan they might work out by meeting with city and neighborhood residents.
Lest one thinks this is some heavy-handed City Hall intervention, the ordinance makes clear that owners still retain the ultimate power to close their store. It also creates a number of exemptions to the six-month notice requirement. If a store is closing because of a natural disaster or business circumstances that aren't "reasonably foreseeable," it doesn't have to provide the full six months' notice.
For the poor, that's bad news because all it will do is ensure that new grocery stores don't open.
Who'd want to do business in a city that requires six months' notice plus the difficult task of getting a replacement or organizing a food co-op for the 'privilege' of closure when all they want to do is get out?

Rat values, Rat world.

I would restock only the essentials, and have the store plastered with signs explaining the destructive ways of the Rat.
If I owned a grocery store in San Francisco, I’d close it immediately, before this ordinance can be passed, but, on the other hand, it’s not an accident that I don’t own a grocery store in San Francisco.
Let them eat steak.
Imagining increases in theft and vandalism in the six months of advanced notice. Perhaps they should just unlock everything and walk away.
It’s all the fault of the big corporate chains, right? They cause crime and shit-covered sidewalks in the neighborhoods around the stores, right? I say give SF five minutes and a middle finger.
What’s the rm I’m looking for?
Ah! Fascism. Writ large.
If you haven’t left Cal by now, you deserve what’s coming.
Zero pity. None.
Exactly—any grocery store that remains open now is asking for trouble.
They all need to hurry and shut down immediately.
lesson one: when in freefall...it’s impossible to stop before one meets the bottom. lesson two: the simple momentum of freefall is easily capable of carrying one FAR past what was once the bottom...but isn’t really THE bottom. good luck with stopping at the first bottom Californicatia.
so looting residence cannot only loot your store but will get a guaranteed 6 months more looting before allowing you to close or they will bring you to court and sue you.
Can California kill themselves anymore?
thank you! laughed out loud on that one as it reminded me of the original “Poseidon Adventure” where a large group of the passengers were adamant about following the ships purser down deeper into the capsized ship expecting to come out on the top decks and be saved from drowning. Classic case of idiocracy!
If they give 6 months notice the residents will close it for them by daily emptying the shelves.
This should do wonders attracting new grocery stores in these hell holes.
“I think for many of them (ie, liberals), hitting bottom, or worse, is not enough. They are immune both to reason and to reality.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Spot on. You cannot reason with someone who did not use reason in the first place to arrive at their position.
Closing before this ordinance passes is the best move. It will definitely pass.
Just give 6 month’s notice every month. If you decide not to close in 6 months you are a hero.
Keeps all your options open.
