Must be Trump’s fault.
Turds on the sidewalk and massive punitive taxes have nothing to do with it.
Nancy Pelosi’s town.
See, see! Trump’s racist, sexist tweets again! IMPEACH! AGAIN!
A beautiful, exciting city turned into a shitthole by Democrat Party idiocy.
The minimum wage remains zero.
How many restaurants are there in San Francisco? What has been the historic shutdown rate in SF and in other cities? What are the chances that 400 would be a typical number of shutdowns but there is a “need” by the press to hype it, much as in the Dilbert cartoon when Dogbert in in HR and he gets the boss outraged by telling him that 40% of the sick leave days are taken on Monday or Friday.

It’s the Poopy city that raised the minimum wage, what else would you expect in a DemocRATic H*llhole.
SF is high on my bucket list of places not to visit.
preemptive strike before the gas stove ban...
What we’re seeing here isn’t business closure its people leaving the state.
Good. Hopefully more will close in 2020.
[ More Than 400 San Francisco Restaurants Close in 2019 ]
Wow. That’s shocking.
Maybe they need to gay it up some more.
Hope they keep voting Democrat. It’s working, obviously.
San Francisco is the most depressing city in America. The come-latelys might not think so. They may be enchanted by the steep streets up Nob and Russian and Telegraph, by the sea mystery of the Bridge over to redwood country on a foggy night, by the urban compartmentalization of Chinese, Spanish, Greek, Japanese, by the smartness of the women and the city's iron clutch on culture. It might look just fine to the new ones.But there are too many of us who used to love her. She was like a wild classy kook of a gal, one of those rain-walkers, laughing gray eyes, tousle of dark hair -- sea misty, a lithe and lively lady, who could laugh at you or with you, and at herself when needs be. A sayer of strange and lovely things. A girl to be in love with, with love like a heady magic.
But she had lost it, boy. She used to give it away, and now she sells it to the tourists. She imitates herself. Her figure has thickened. The things she says now are mechanical and memorized. She overcharges for cynical services.
Maybe if you are from Dayton or Amarillo or Wheeling or Scranton or Camden she can look like magic to you because you have not had a chance to see what a city can be. This one had her chance to go straight and she lost it somehow, and it has been downhill for her ever since. That's why she is so depressing to those of us who knew her when. We all know what she could have been, and we all know the lousy choice she made. She has driven away the ones who loved her best. A few keep trying. Herb Caen. A few others. But the love words have a hollow tone these days.

Limit the height of buildings and you’re messing with capitalism. Your city will slowly decay.
Noticed the NBC report didn’t mention wages or poop but did mention order out services and the fact that tech companies often have food and wine available round the clock at their offices. It did mention overall costs nicely burying the wage issue. Those may be factors as well but as usual the media shapes their narrative by omitting the non PC. Also no mention of how many restaurants have opened during the last year which might change the outlook as well.
Liberals ruin everything!
But then my brother, who worked in that industry for most of his career, said that 90% of NEW restaurants dont last a year because the people who buy them don’t understand that THEY are not guaranteed success (even being viable), and will have to work very hard (as in being the first in to work and the last to leave EVERY DAY).
So ‘closing their doors’ includes ‘change of ownership’ cases ??
Leftist hellholes are not exactly a smart place to have a business these days.
.
Back in the mid ‘90s the statistic in Atlanta was out of 500 eating establishments opened, 495 would close within a year. Tough business. And there isn’t nearly as much poop on the sidewalk here.
