Seattle's brilliant solution to grocery stores fleeing due to rampant shoplifting? Force them to let competitors move in! Because nothing says "smart business policy" like watching Kroger shut down citing theft, safety issues, and hostile regulations, then demanding they can't block competition from opening in the same crime-ridden location. We dive into Seattle's latest legislative masterpiece that tackles food deserts by... completely ignoring why stores are closing in the first place. While politicians pat themselves on the back for "doing something," we explore the real reasons behind 25 break-ins at one restaurant, homeless encampments, and why even Whole Foods said "nope" to Capitol Hill. Think any grocery chain will rush to invest millions in Lake City now? What happens when you create policy that sounds compassionate but ignores basic business reality? Why do progressive cities keep doubling down on failed approaches while expecting different results?
