Comment on San Francisco bill would let people sue grocery stores for closing too quickly

  The intent of the law is the grocery store has to provide the community another grocery store. Stupid. They are moving because they can’t turn a profit.

    The store in question is Safeway. Safeway is a subsidiary of Albertsons, which is a multi-billion dollar corporation. In 2021 alone they made almost $72B.

    I’m sure they can afford this. The least they can do is prevent a food desert as the result of their actions taken for their shareholders.

      It isn’t their obligation. Maybe the city should do more to reduce the crime.

        It doesn’t be their obligation to be the right thing to do.

        Just because they can doesn’t mean they should.

        If the Billionaires and corporations buying out the competition to prevent this from happening naturally won’t do it, who will?

        What crime specifically and how does it relate to mega food corps effect on exiting cities after they’ve effectively killed their competition?
