    San Fran laws often strike me as bug fuck nuts. OTOH, this is like so many of the articles we see that have liberals freaking out. It’s a proposal, nothing has happened, nothing probably will.

    LOL, I’ll eat crow if they do manage to pass it!

      San Francisco is an interesting town. I used to love it but have not been back in a long time.

      I would go down occasionally to work with the SWAT team.

      It will most likely pass, but I can’t see any of the courts supporting this law. It isn’t the grocery store’s job to find a replacement. The problem is the city is letting itself fall apart. I only know what I heard from my friends but they have said it’s just disgusting now. Most of their jobs moved WFH or to another city to get away from it.

        San Francisco was a beautiful city. I haven’t been back in 13 years, but what I’ve heard about it from friends who have been is quite heartbreaking. My wife and I definitely left our hearts in San Francisco many years ago, and it’s terrible reading about what a slum major parts of the city have become. The big city problems used to be limited to the Tenderloin District and a few other spots that everyone knew to stay away from, but it sounds like the whole city is dangerous and dirty now. I’m not just talking about stuff I’ve read online either. I have a close friend who goes to probably 20 Giants games every year, and he said that it’s nothing like the city I remember.
