San Francisco is regulating outdoor dining out of existence HotAir

By Thomas A. Smith

This isn t a small deal. The name of the program that made the parklets possible is Shared Spaces, and they say there are 1,000 eateries with permits under that program in operation. If 90% of them are out of compliance, that s going to amount to roughly 900 businesses. Some of the owners are already saying that if they lose their outdoor dining options they will need to lay off workers or possibly even close entirely. This incredible display of bureaucratic meddling and buffoonery is pretty bad even by San Francisco standards.
