We really do need to thank politicians in California. If there ever was a group that deserves to be installed as members of the Club For the Galacticly Stupid, they absolutely qualify, ergo, just do the opposite of what they do, and success will be assured.
It turns out San Francisco's leaders want to make sure the businesses they've destroyed can't leave or close. Businesses they don't own, they didn't finance, they didn't sweat over to make a profit. Businesses that now are dying because of the Democrat's failure to control crime, violence, drugs, bums on the streets, and filth everywhere. All run by Democrats. In point of fact these Democrat policies have created this disaster nationwide turning some of the greatest cities in the nation into sewers.
Eric Revell posted this article on April 7th, San Francisco Proposal Would Allow Lawsuits Over Grocery Store Closures, saying:
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). The store would also be required to post notices at all entries and exits as a means of informing customers and the general public. The rule wouldn’t preclude closures due to a store being unprofitable. “It was a good idea in 1984, and it’s an even better idea now,” Preston said in a press release. “Our communities need notice, an opportunity to be heard, and a transition plan when major neighborhood grocery stores plan to shut their doors. Meeting the food security needs of our seniors and families cannot be left to unilateral backroom decisions by massive corporate entities.”
Monica Showalter published this piece on April 8th, San Francisco to allow residents to sue fleeing groceries that don't give six months' notice before closing, saying:
Want more food deserts in San Francisco? Here's how you get more food deserts in San Francisco.........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?.....Sound like a good place to open a grocery?...... What this monstrous regulation is, is a revenge move by vindictive leftists who will do anything to avoid taking responsibility for the results of their own destructive policies. It's not that stores will stop closing as a result of this new law. It's that new stores will never open.
If I was the owner I would give them their 60 day notice and the city's
six month notice .....today! I would start transferring shelf product
to other stores, stop ordering perishable goods such as milk, cheeses,
fruits, vegetables, and meats. After the sixty day notice I would lay
off most of the employees allowing just enough personnel to work the
store from ten to seven, giving them their eight hours per shift, close on Saturday and Sunday, and only selling canned goods, and packaged
products.
I would shut down lanes with permanent barriers until
the store wasn't much bigger that a gas station convenience store! If
they're losing money, no one can force a company to stay open and lose
money, the steel workers found that out in Youngstown back in the
seventies. They claimed the steel company couldn't close because the had
a contract, and so they had to stay open and continue to lose money.
The federal court disagreed.
What We're Seeing is Irreversible in America's Major Cities.
What We're Seeing is Irreversible in America's Major Cities, Part II
As far as the people of San Francisco suffering as a result? Schadenfreude.... they broke it, they bought it. San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, and more, are toast. Recognize it, accept it, and get over it, because the disaster they've created is a reality that will take decades to overcome, if ever.
