Seems it is about the power of the Golden Gate Restaurant Assoc which has been a major power backing moderate candidates for decades. It isn’t about a wedge issue against Breed especially since Safai strongly supports herhttps://sfgate.com/news/article/A-hard-look-at-Brown-s-soft-money-3054017.php …
I don’t mind having this debate. I can see lots of sides to it — the lack of integration that urban tech campuses have with surrounding small businesses, the comparatively better work conditions that food service workers have inside tech cos, etc etc. I’d just rather figure out
Getting more Pitstops or how to get more housing or transit up.
It is possible to do all of that & more. The Board & Breed (as well as whoever is planning to run against her) are all going to want to get a lot done by the end of the year.
Peskin & the Restaurant Association are making a whole host of assumptions about the liquidity of the average tech worker with real estate prices what they are. It probably favors Trader Joe’s ready-to-eat as much as local restaurants...
Also Safai is the co-sponsor & the Restaurant Association was part of a PAC which spent a lot of money while failing to defeat Avalos & elect him in 2008 & they opposed Peskin in 2015https://sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Christensen-Peskin-waste-no-time-in-growling-at-6171340.php …
These are interesting details but they also IMO distract from the bigger story here: Peskin is engaging in open (local) cartel-like behavior in this case ostensibly for the benefit of admittedly small, vulnerable & often short-lived local businesses, ie restaurants./1
The openness & brazenness of that cartel-like behavior (attempting to outlaw your competition) is shocking, even though many of us may be drawn to sympathy for the small vulnerable businesses it is trying to benefit. It hides however the OTHER local cartel which Peskin reps./2
In 2016, sf yimby party endorsed both Asha Safai & Golden Gate Restaurant Assoc exec director Gwyneth Borden http://www.sfyimby.org/endorsements-nov-2016/ … yet the yimby anger is directed against Peskin
I'm not angry and I don't have a strong feeling either way! Sometimes I share things because I know people will debate them and it will be interesting to see what they debate about! And clearly even *more* people than I thought were interested in doing hot takes on this.
