She’s threatening to use eminent domain with the help of the state government to force business to stay open.

Yeah, good luck with that bitch.

quote:

Seattle’s socialist Mayor Katie Wilson has officially declared war on grocery chains.
She claims she will unilaterally BAN grocery stores from closing down in her city, arguing that food access is a human right that overrides business decisions.
She said : "We cannot allow big grocery chains to close stores at will!"

The Plan: If a private business tries to leave due to theft, taxes, or safety concerns... the government will step in.

Her allies in the state legislature have even introduced a bill (HB-2313) allowing the city to use Eminent Domain to SEIZE grocery store properties and turn them into government-run shops.

Mayor Katie Wilson calls it "protecting the community." Critics call it "holding businesses hostage."

The big thing with a supermarket is the stock on the shelves. Attempting ED only gets them so far if the city won’t be paying distributors to restock the shelves from their new city seized markets.

As usual, they didn’t think this through.

They voted for this nonsense.

Nobody who looks like that should ever be given an ounce of power.

So they get less than a full store’s inventory and close up when they sell out. Nice.

If food access is a human right, you should be allowed to have a gun and hunt for it.

Does she know how long eminent domain cases take, especially when one party fights it?

Sure they might be able to seize the store and then sell everything in it fresh food for about a week canned goods for a month they'll never be able to resupply or manage personnel

Eminent Domain doesn't allow you to simply take a property. It allows the government to buy a property (at fair market value) from an owner that doesn't want to sell.
If the grocery chain is looking to pull up stakes, I'm sure they would welcome the government buying the business / property / inventory.
The only problem is that governments tend to low-ball the 'fair market value' so you have to sue them to get a fair price.

The state can seize a likely rented building, and run them themselves, sounds like they can still close, leaving the landlord f'd
