It's also a violation of a ten-year Memorandum of Understanding that San Francisco signed with City College in 2017. Free City College has its roots in a 2016 ballot measure, spearheaded by then-Sup.

In a sign of weak demand for restaurants overall, the once highly valued "full" liquor licenses in San Francisco, which could only be obtained on the secondary market due to a longstanding legal exception, are now worth about a third of what they were before the pandemic. You might not think that the market price for a liquor license would fluctuate, or that the price could tank in a matter of just a few years. It's not like people have stopped drinking Gen Z maybe has and it's not like the local restaurant scene is in the doldrums like it was in 2021.
