WHAT are your plans for RETAINING the current businesses? Seems like one closes up each week.

Leaders foresee these issues and make a changes before everything burns. Breed can barely put out one fire.

Why are you penalizing store owners for being victimized by graffiti, and fining them hundreds of dollars when the tagger themselves don’t even spend a single night in jail? Why do you allow shoplifters to steal with impunity? Why do you allow junkies block off storefronts? …

If they are unnecessary then get rid of them.

And what are you doing to help existing small businesses?

No small business can thrive in SF. The open ones can barely survive and are waiting for their lease to be over so they can get out of here!

With these changes, the process will be simpler and faster. With PermitSF, we are cutting red tape, and making lives easier for San Franciscans—and we’ll keep working to make our city better for everyone.

For too long, small businesses and homeowners have faced confusing rules, costly delays, and outdated red tape. That’s why we launched PermitSF to make permitting in San Francisco faster, simpler, and more transparent. This week, key PermitSF legislation is being heard by the Planning Commission. If approved, it heads to the Board of Supervisors. When we make it easier for residents and merchants to invest in our city, we grow our economy from the ground up.

Small businesses, listen up! Just in time for the San Francisco “summer,” you no longer have to pay to put tables and chairs on the sidewalk. A quick, free registration is all it takes, and you’re good to go. Through our permit reform initiative, PermitSF, my administration is cutting red tape and making it easier for small businesses to thrive.

In Phoenix, I stopped by Bacanora to meet with Chef Rene Andrade and discuss cooking and community. Small businesses like Bacanora are the backbone of our economy. As president, my opportunity economy will help aspiring entrepreneurs start and grow their small businesses.

We should be making it easier—not harder—for businesses to set up shop here. My administration is committed to bringing businesses back downtown. This initiative is just one of the many ways we’re breathing new life into San Francisco.

Why is it so hard to operate a small business in San Francisco? One word: Overregulation. In this city, we regulate everything — from the font size of interior signs to window sign placement. Today in Land Use and Transportation Committee, we took a step toward cutting the red tape by voting in favor of PermitSF legislation, sponsored by Mayor Lurie and cosponsored by me. This legislation will make it easier for small businesses to do what they do best — provide the best experiences the city has to offer.

San Francisco is open for business. Our downtown is bustling this week thanks to the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, and we plan to make San Francisco a place visitors look forward to returning to year after year. In this new era, our city's potential has no ceiling.

Want to scoop ice cream in a hotel lobby? Apparently, first you have to haul your freezer into City Hall for an inspection and bring your own power supply. There has to be a better way. Cut the red tape. Streamline the process. Make permitting easier for small businesses across our city.

Small businesses power New Jersey's economy. It was a pleasure to speak with Caitlin, owner of The Garb Collection in Ocean City, and get a firsthand account of the impact entrepreneurs have on every community. My Administration is working to cut red tape so it’s easier for small businesses like this one to open, thrive, and expand.

We're lifting the turnover threshold from $2 million to $10 million, so all active small businesses qualify for the 50% capital gains tax discount. That’s in addition to existing generous tax concessions for small businesses that will not change, and new small business supports announced in the Budget. And we're continuing to work with startups to make sure Australia is the best place to build something new. A fair crack for first home buyers, and tax cuts for working people are at the heart of our reforms and that won’t change.
