Brickbat: How Inconvenient

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a plan to close convenience stores in a 20-block area of the Tenderloin district between midnight and 5 a.m. for the next two years. Officials say convenience stores attract nighttime illegal drug activity. Restaurants, bars, and non-retail businesses will not be affected by the law.

This is flagrant racial discrimination against South Asian people.
Skirts are too short these days.
Sevo hardest hit!!! WHERE will Sevo pick up shit's next hit and shit's next trick, now, any more? #GoFundSevoPlease!
Maybe they should start by banning vagrancy between those hours.
What about daytime illegal drug activity?
It only gets really scary under street lights - with a side of cheesy poofs.
If it's crime hot spot, why not station a bunch of cops there and bust the bad guys? It would be convenient right? Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Clearly the real problem is gateway flavors. They need to ban flavored popsicles, ice cream, candy, and soft drinks. You get used to all that taste and next thing you know you are on flavored vapes. Then it just a matter of time before you are living on the street using heroin.
Maybe, I don't know, round up all the drug dealers and users and throw them in jail forever.
