Well, Karma showed up...
” allowing city leaders time to look for a replacement retail tenant. “
The City owns the lease?
If there was only a way that the citizens could remove the San Francisco Government and replace it one that cares about citizens. It’s right at the tip of my tongue. I think it starts with a “v”.
does the new law require the store to be fully stocked during that six months? ... if not, then ...
What if businesses leave and refuse to pay a fine? What if the store owners make it “really public” why they are leaving and how the politicians are punishing them for escaping?
This law will eventually be struck down, but it will take years.
If I were Whole Foods etc and wanted to try SF for a store. I would create an independent subsidiary. Make my money, and just bankrupt and close with only a dead carcass for the city to go after.
We have been enriched and strengthened by forced diversity imported from hellholes around the world by the Communist International. The reptiles that rule us need to be tried and, if found guilty, imprisoned or executed.
I’m guessing fixing the root problem has slipped past them
This is the last refuge of a tax and spend Utopia. Back when it had a confiscatory tax rate, Sweden did this in the 1980s and 1990s when its millionaires were changing residence to the UK. Rich Swedes needed to plan out how to leave without continuing to be taxed after they moved. It didn’t work then and won’t work now in California.

That article said the owner owns another market. Expect the city to screw that location over as well.
SF should just go ahead and fully enact Directive 10-289 instead of piece-mealing it:
‘Directive 10-289’:
“In the name of the general welfare, to protect the people’s security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that — “
“Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board , such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.
“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.
“Point Three. All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift by means of Gift Certificates to be signed voluntarily by the owners of all such patents and copyrights. The Unification Board shall then license the use of such patents and copyrights to all applicants, equally and without discrimination, for the purpose of eliminating monopolistic practices, discarding obsolete products and making the best available to the whole nation. No trademarks, brand names or copyrighted titles shall be used. Every formerly patented product shall be known by a new name and sold by all manufacturers under the same name, such name to be selected by the Unification Board. All private trademarks and brand names are hereby abolished.
“Point Four. No new devices, inventions, products, or goods of any nature whatsoever, not now on the market, shall be produced, invented, manufactured or sold after the date of this directive. The Office of Patents and Copyrights is hereby suspended.
“Point Five. Every establishment, concern, corporation or person engaged in production of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth produce the same amount of goods per year as it, they or he produced during the Basic Year , no more and no less. The year to be known as the Basic or Yardstick Year is to be the year ending on the date of this directive. Over or under production shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.
“Point Six. Every person of any age, sex, class or income, shall henceforth spend the same amount of money on the purchase of goods per year as he or she spent during the Basic Year, no more and no less. Over or under purchasing shall be fined, such fines to be determined by the Unification Board.
“Point Seven. All wages, prices, salaries, dividends, profits, interest rates and forms of income of any nature whatsoever, shall be frozen at their present figures, as of the date of this directive.
“Point Eight. All cases arising from and rules not specifically provided for in this directive, shall be settled and determined by the Unification Board, whose decisions will be final.”
flee- leave the state and refuse to pay their asinine fines- They refuse to prosecute criminals, so become one by refusing to pay- Also- rob a few stores on the way out- to make up for the losses you took- again, they won’t prosecute- turn their asinine system back on them- the newly robbed stores will leave too- and they can rob on their way out of state, ensuring that the woke policy will ruin the area and leave the wokesters scratching their head about why they can’t attract any business to the area- don’t worry abbot being prosecuted- they don’t prosecute criminals
The Baltimore Colts solved this problem years ago.
Send a notice of closing in 6 months every day.
DEI (Kamala) requires proportional arrests. Given the absence of conservatives, liberals cannot be arrested.
This is the case with all food stores located in “chocolate” areas of a city. Their business operations become nonviable.
You can’t leave unless we see your papers but we never give out papers
If I owned a store in San Francisco, I’d immediately give them the six months notice. Then if business was still good after six months, I’d simply say I decided to hang on a little longer, and give another notice.
Rinse and repeat.
Will they be deported? Oh wait
