If voters back plan to penalize vacant stores in March, landlords in 12 additional districts face fines after this week
City lawmakers just created a dozen special neighborhood districts in San Francisco, right in time to raise the stakes on the city's possible new tax on vacant storefronts that's up for a vote roughly six weeks from now.
At Tuesday's regular meeting, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors elected to create 12 new neighborhood commercial districts in the city, specially designated areas of half a dozen blocks or more recognized as "historical neighborhood commercial centers" with rules dedicated to preserving the mix of retail and housing uses there.

Resale shop denied 2020 business license due to lack of "storefront" | Gasconade County Republican
John Hurley approached the Board of Aldermen in last Thursday’s meeting to ask why he was denied a business license.
* * *
Hurley says he opened Kelly’s Closet, a resale business in 2019 and was granted a license to operate by the city. When he went to city hall to obtain a 2020 business license he was denied a license. He said the reason given was a lack of a store front for his business. His business did not change location.
City Clerk Stephanie Lusk says that she was not the one who denied the license. It may have happened before the departure of former clerk, Jane Hungler. According to city codes, the city clerk is the city license officer. As such, they have the authority to “promulgate rules and regulations” pertaining to business licenses. These rules must be approved by the mayor and kept on file at city hall.
The Billion-Dollar Blight Changing Harvard Square
Papered-over storefronts and "for rent" signs have marred the appearance of Harvard Square and are threatening the beating heart of Cambridge. Thankfully, there's a solution.

But what's plaguing the Square is neither neglect nor economic hardship: The runaway success of its real estate market has brought on an acute case of "high-rent blight," with deep-pocketed landlords swallowing months or even years of rent, hoping to land a lucrative lease from an international chain or a bank.
What's going into the Richmond Mall's new storefront? Nothing yet
RICHMOND, Ind. — First things first: No, Five Below isn't coming to the Richmond Mall. That's the word from both the company itself and the mall's owner, putting to rest social media chatter that the value retailer was about to open shop here.
So then what's going on with the new exterior storefront recently added to the east of Dunham's Sports? It's all part of the plan that owner Hull Property Group has had for the former Sears space since Dunham's announced it was coming to the mall.
