Gavin Newsom likes to say that San Francisco is 49 square miles surrounded by reality. Well, okay then. In reality, he’s actually ripping off a line from Jefferson Airplane’s Paul Kantner.
[snip] San Francisco makes this hard. It makes it expensive. A March 4 memorandum from City Administrator Carmen Chu reveals that San Francisco will not enter into contracts with businesses headquartered in most of the United States — 28 states in all. Official travel to those states is also forbidden. And this list includes some surprises: Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Wisconsin.
As a result of this vast boycott, San Francisco is constraining the number of businesses it can ink deals with, which all but certainly inhibits quality and drives up costs. It also adds onerous time constraints to the contracting process, which leads to poor outcomes and also drives up costs.
“It limits our ability to procure products and receive services and contract services we need to run,” explains Chu. “It limits competition for our work.”

“No city has reached out to say they want to mirror our rules,” confirms Chu.
In order to have a chance at success, San Francisco needed to inspire a mass movement. Instead it finds itself as an elite cadre.
So SF is modeling after East Germany? They can’t even clean their own human poop and hand out needles and crack pipes like Taco Bell hands out cheap burritos
Sooooo.. Is this easier if a lot of the real US boycotts SF? d;^)
I love this idea. Containment without the razor wire.
“ In 2016, then-Supervisor Scott Wiener passed an ordinance making San Francisco the first city to ban travel to states with repressive anti-LGBT laws or contract with businesses headquartered there. ”
I knew this was going to be about queers.
As long as people are willing to put up with the Democrats crapping all over them I don’t feel sorry for them. I do hope the old saying “As California goes so goes the nation” is no longer true.
San Francisco has seceded and is no longer America
Of course. California in general, and San Francisco in particular is the land of fruits and nuts.
And Pedo-Groomers.
“ In 2016, then-Supervisor Scott Wiener passed an ordinance making San Francisco the first city to ban travel to states with repressive anti-LGBT laws or contract with businesses headquartered there. ”
This is working well. They should expand on this. And REALLY teach these offending states a lesson!

I realize times are tough and getting tougher and business is business but... If I ran a business I would have to be pretty damn desperate - as in about to shutter the place - before I'd even consider providing goods and/or services to SF. That would probably apply to most of CA. I've gotta believe with all the propositions and rules etc. that no CA based entity is easy to do business with. Plus I'm sure I do and/or say at least a half dozen things a day that would offend some snowflake or other out there. Wouldn't be long before they'd default on the contract and go off to their safe space sobbing about the mean man in the mountains...
My wife and I used to love visiting San Fran. I don’t remember the year we were last there; but whenever it was, it’s the last time will will ever go.
AND it be replaced with, “As California goes loony left, so goes the nation in the opposite direction.”
SF is now boycotting most of the United States
...and vice-versa!
I live in Sacramento and haven’t been to SF for over five years. I used to go there five or six times a year. Not anymore.

Elon Musk will hasten his efforts to remove all his Tesla facilities OUT of Calif.
So appropriate that the stupidity of San Franciscans is 100% represented in Congress.
Still More #ComDem_Insanity!
