A plan to fill in some of San Francisco’s blighted vacant storefronts and raise money to help bail out struggling small businesses is ahead in the vote after Tuesday’s election in San Francisco. If Proposition D becomes law, starting in 2021 it would charge owners of chronically empty SF storefronts $250 per linear foot (not square foot) for the first year that a retail unit remains vacant, $500 in year two, and $1,000 per foot every year after. Fees collected would go into the city’s new small business fund, the establishment of which is a significant part of the carrot appealing to voters. According to the SF Office of Economic and Workforce Development, some commercial corridors have as many as 27.6 percent of storefronts sitting empty, sometimes for years on end.

[Note: Proposition D passed.]
