Lawmakers in San Francisco Want to Allow Residents to Sue Grocery Stores for Closing

Just over the bridge from SF to OAK.

To allow the city time to find a replacement, maybe work something out with the grocer to help them stay in business. There are also a lot of loopholes in the law

If one store isn't profitable, why would a replacement be?

If I were a supermarket operator and saw that one big chain couldn't make a go of it in a location, why would I think I could buy that operator out and actually profit?

Almost looks so bad it may be staged? Or in Mexico?

Different stores different policies. A few years ago we had a Kroger go out of buisness. It was replaced by a grocer that specializes in Asian cuisine and ingredients and is thriving in the exact same location.

Lawmakers have already made it difficult for retailers to protect themselves, their employees, their merchandise, and, the overall health of their business. Now, they want to add more insult to injury and punish them for shutting down.

Whenever I read. "... progressive lawmakers propose..: I just know it's another disaster. Dems / Socialists want store owners to suffer under the policies that they create.

Stores of all kinds in Dem /Socialist run Hell holes are closing, specifically because of Dem / Socialist policies that enable criminals. This new proposal would require store owners to operate at a loss while they contend with theft from shoplifting and limited customers due to drug users and the homeless keeping customers away.

Stores throughout greater San Francisco have been closing for months.

A pair of progressive San Francisco lawmakers are pushing a bill that would allow residents in the crime-ravaged city to sue grocery stores that close up shop if they don’t give six months’ notice.

The proposal by San Francisco Board of Supervisors members Dean Preston and Aaron Peskin would require business to either find a successor grocer or work out a plan with residents in the neighborhood to ensure the availability of supermarket options.

I would close now. Let the city starve.

Nope. It's legit. The entire state is beginning to look like that.

It's a joke, right?

Did the Kroger go out of business because of competition from other outfits, or because incessant looting by entitled mobs in the neighborhood and a non-responsive justice system?

It matters.

If the problem is shoplifting, vandalism, assault etc. no business can “thrive” under those conditions. It’s no longer “shoplifting” when they fill a cart and walk out daring someone to try and stop them. wake up.

Not a joke. It reads like a bad joke, however.

Imagine you're a retailer with a 3% to 5% profit margin and Dem / Socialist politicians pass laws that allow criminals to steal from you. Your place of business becomes a target for criminals. Now you're expected to operate at a loss while those same politicians take you and your business as hostages.

It's crazy.

Imagine you're a retailer with a 3% to 5% profit margin and ...

Alright .....

... Dem / Socialist ...

Please don't interject such shit talk.

... politicians pass laws that allow criminals to steal from you.

I've seen a few security videos about it.

Your place of business becomes a target for criminals.

Yes, it does.

Now you're expected to operate at a loss while those same politicians take you and your business as hostages.

It must be time to leave the country.

Just one more cog in the wheel of Marxism that the progressives are hellbent on turning America into. Marxism gives government total control of commerce, industry, private businesses until there is no more private ownership. If San Francisco is successful in this insanity, we get ever closer to losing our liberties entirely.

Not Redding ( Shasta County ) Or Moorpark ( Ventura County )

Not Redding ( Shasta County ) Or Moorpark ( Ventura County )

You are correct about Moorpark, instead the homeless encampment in that area is in Thousand Oaks, it's affectionately known as "The Jungle".

It has been cleared out twice that I know of.

But you are wrong about Redding. There is a neighborhood there with a large encampment growing and the neighbors are asking for the city to do something about it.

We have had a Homeless Problem in Redding for almost 50 years ( as it’s a transit point between Seattle / Portlandia and the rest of California ) and the RPD and Shasta County Sheriff keeps stability . There is no real Illegal/ Migrant Farm Worker presence in Shasta County ( Except in the Southern Cascades From Cartel Grows ) as most of the Illegals & Migrant Farm workers are several counties south of us . I live in Moorpark part time and Have a Country Home near Swasey / Old Shasta west of Redding and a Mountain home in The Southern Cascades ( Ultra Rural North Eastern Shasta County ) and will not Relocate Completely To Southern California .

Then why did you say that Redding had no issues? But the encampment I mentioned is a permanent one behind one of the neighborhoods. It was in our Reno news a couple of weeks ago.

It is funny though, the Reno news talks about homeless problems everywhere but here!

There are Homeless Encampments in several Areas of Redding at any given time but for every two one is Raided and cleared out ( Not likeChico where it takes months with Warnings & Hearings prior to any action) Redding is on the Governors shit list ( After The Cottonwood Rodeo crowds embarrassed him when he was trying to bake in Covid Restrictions ) and it made National shit list too ( Ending Shasta County Dominion Contract ) I Consider Sportsman’s wonderland Shasta County and Far Nor Cal Hub Redding to be Superior California and one of the few remaining bastions of Conservatism and Patriotism in the State

The progressives are such fools. You can't force businesses to stay open at all, especially when their bottom lines are low or they are losing money. That's called socialism.
