## Resource

San Francisco’s Supervisor Bilal Mahmood is launching a bold plan to turn vacant buildings into grocery stores, tackling food deserts and soaring food costs head-on. The Affordable Groceries Act proposes reviving empty storefronts and taxing idle properties to incentivize real community-serving businesses. Inspired by New York’s model and already seeing success at Dalda’s in the Tenderloin, this legislation aims to bring fresh, affordable food to neighborhoods where it’s most needed — improving health, especially for kids. It’s still awaiting approval from the Board of Supervisors and a November ballot vote. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
