Comments by "" (@NinjaKittyBonks) on "Black Residents RAGE Over Safeway Closing" video.

San Crapcisco is all about adding condos, but fails to grasp that increasing the population of an area, while removing access to food is a very bad idea.

@hamnchee ... The problem is no places to build a full-service grocery store to serve the area. Now, I don't blame Safeway for closing, I blame San Francisco board of stupidvisors for seeking tax revenue from housing, OVER the longer term need of goods / services for the people who are already there. I get that there is a balance that must always be struck between housing and those services, but the city needs to make sure that basic needs of food are not so few and far between as to then cause an undue burden to the citizens who ALREADY live there and paid their taxes. . I am not saying the city should have intervened to stop Safeway sale or anything of the sort. I am saying they should not approve more housing, when it will drive fundamental needs of the existing residents an "unreasonable" distance necessary going forward. What is "unreasonable" is a relative thing, but if say the next full-service store is 3 mi. away, that is a PITA within the San Francisco streets. I live 35 mi. away and been to that Safeway MANY times. The city wants the tax revenue of housing, as it is more than they get from a grocery store. This will provide more places to live, but be detrimental in other ways.

@dattebenforcer ... I understand economics just fine (see my comment just above) and maybe next time, you can ask me to clarify or expand on my comment, rather than assume I am a moroon 😸

@hamnchee .. As mentioned... SF is 35 miles away from where I am sitting at this moment. I was born in SF and been there a hundred times, but not been back since 2014. EXAMPLE: Homeless always take shopping carts to carry their stuff around. The Board of Stupidvisors passed legislation that if a grocery store found one of carts full of stuff, they must contact the police and the police would travel to location and put a ticket on the shopping cart. THEN... if the shopping cart was STILL in that same location 24 hours later, the store could take back THEIR OWN PROPERTY! . They also, as you likely heard, passed legislation to make any shoplifting of LESS than $950 a misdemeanor and the courts will not prosecute / pursue any claims. Furthermore, they will arrest those who seek to stop the shoplifting, so the stores enact their own policies to stand aside when people steal. Well, as any moroon with a single brain cell can figure out, shoplifting has NO deterrents at all. . I could go on with numerous other things, but THAT is now they operate in SF. There is zero wonder about why it has become a total sheet-hole. This proposed move, which WILL pass... is just one more insult to those who live in SF.

@LucasFernandez-fk8se .. Yes, they could... but they won't. That Safeway is HUGE and the developer will not go that far out of their way to sacrifice the living space they could sell. The parking lot is not anywhere near as large as my local Safeway and Lucky here, but in order to satisfy the codes for that many square feet of retail store, they need to provide at least that many spaces PLUS spaces for the cars of those who live there. Of course, the City will force the developer to have 1/4 of spaces with EV charging stations, so that will cost more parking. If were NY, they could just build it taller, to handle all the parking, but the City will not allow the additional parking levels (elevation) that would be confined to the square footage of the existing building (Safeway), What they will do to grease the wheels of the City, is put a convenience store below, the size of a 7/11. . I was in construction family business for 35 years, so I have seen all of these things. Not trying to be a dick, I just know how these things go and being in the City of SF... it will be a sheet show.
