San Francisco proposal would allow lawsuits over grocery store closures

A San Francisco lawmaker introduced a proposal that would require grocery stores in the city to provide six months of notice before closing a store and to explore a replacement supermarket at the vacated location.
Dean Preston, a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, introduced what he calls the Grocery Protection Act – which is based on a proposal the board approved in 1984 that was vetoed by then-San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein.
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.

Hard to understand why anyone would want to have a business in a crime infested shithole like San Francisco.

Democrats don’t understand basic concepts like risk of loss.

California policy makers are so bad, they are blackmailing the people they put out of business; and when you think they couldn’t get any worse, they keep pushing the limits of sanity…

Good Lord. These people act like owning and operating a business is a civil service.
I demand that you lose more money for 6 months and find someone else to lose their money before you close the doors!
How would you even enforce this? Are they going to force open the doors and drag employees into the store to staff it? At best, you could seize the property (if the business owner even owns it) and fine the owner. And then what? The store will still be closed. All this does is elevate the risk associated with operating a business in the area.

So government forcing a business to stay open? Will the government cover the profit loss too?

It should be called the "Supermarket Prevention Act" cause this will do the opposite of what they want. Idiots.

So basically...
San Francisco passes laws making it easier to steal from stores and making it less desirable for stores to remain open due to theft and various undesirable elements outside the store....
and then passes laws forcing stores to stay open and not close theft and various undesirable elements outside the store...

So basically just empty the building of everything but air, but pay one person to come in and open up a few hours per day after posting the signs.
Problem solved.

Maybe give those criminals at least 6 months in jail and seek out longer sentences if found guilty

No way this is upheld in the courts...
There is the WARN act both at the state and federal level.
