Comment on San Francisco bill would let people sue grocery stores for closing too quickly
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 7 months agoThe only reason this law is even necessary is because large corporations like Albertsons have effectively killed their competition in these areas
That isn’t the reason at all. It’s because of the crime.

They have to pay to ensure there’s a new grocery store because crime? Not because they’ve already killed smaller shops for decades, creating effectively a duopoly (monopoly if their merger with Kroger goes through)?
I’m starting to think “crime” is just a conservative catch-all term for “I want to be justified in this”

Find another grocery store, created a co-op etc. none of these are their obligations. I suspect this will get thrown out if passed

The bill just says they need to give notice.
You have to get notice to be evicted, you typically give notice to quit a job, why is it such a bad idea for a large grocery chain to give notice before closing their store?
I’m struggling to understand why that would enrage you.

No the bill has other restrictions as well. It’s in the article.
