Hey San Francisco, how about instead of punishing small businesses that pay taxes to your thankless city, you think about making a 60 page document about the rampant rise in crime and car theft and what you plan on doing. I think most citizens of SF would prefer that instead.

City wants restaurants to donate their parklets to the homeless.

Out of control homelessness, out of control crime, expensive gas and a transit system that Yup, SF is a great city to live in.... Just like ancient Pompeii.... 😆. I am SO glad that I moved out of there back in

Gotta love how the city harasses the businesses. from 7 pgs to 60 pgs and the compliance is immediate.

Why is the city threatening these restaurants about complying with ordinances. What about the F-ing Millennium Tower??? Are they being fined daily for not complying with ordinances/codes?

They look cheap and not safe.
Definetley not Paris restaurants.
Outdoor dining in Paris is the best!

I hope they also put some sort of barricade in case a car drives thru those parklets.

Stupid city government, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Focus on theft, crimes, cleanliness and homelessness throughout the city. Gimmick for mayor to get points.

They do need to be removed, we need more need stree space

Did nobody mention that none of tthe parklets shown in the video meet any PROWAG or ADA access standards?

[thomasmulhall]

This is what democrats do. Vote them out, along with their red tape.

[SowingAndReaping]

Good! I was hoping that they'd get rid of them. It's already too hard to park as it is. And most places never had seating anyway.

Hey, let’s regulate the shit out of small mom and pops and make it extremely difficult and extremely stressful for them to make a living and give them very little time to comply to boot. Great job, San Francisco!
