Amen. San Francisco is ground zero for well-intentioned, but ultimately awful public policy. Often these policies further make whatever problem they're trying to solve worse, because it gives the illusion that they've actually done something about it.

I, as a 20 year SF resident, would much prefer Aaron Peskin do something about the feces and hypodermic needles before he worries about cafeterias.

But that would require him to deal with various unlawful behaviors and individuals! Much easier to pass some law, when you know law-abiding corporations will respect it.

Also, WTF, the last thing I'm worried about in SF is not having enough restaurants.
