Ktvu amberleigh tells us aboututhe mixed reaction to the plan. New shops that sell tobacco and related products have opened in the tenderloin in recent months, but new legislation introduced by supervisor dean preston could make it more difficult to open smoke shops in this neighborhood. These shops also selll you know, tools and items that drug users use to get high. So then they freaking them. Get these shops sometimes. Rene colorado supports the proposal. He lives in the tenderloin and is executive director of the Merchants Association for this district. You dont want three shops in a row, two in a row, three in the block that are selling a majority just tobacco productsn the proposed legislation would require any new business where more than 10 of the store is dedicated to the sales of tobacco or related products. To have a special permit. This is black lung down here with sm gift shop on larkin sells tobacco related products. The worker tells me. The store just opened two months ago. He says restricting the number of smoke shops is not the answer to solvinguthe problem of open drug use and sales. Thats the government problems, not the people problems. In limited english, he tells me. Its the governments problem and not on the people who own small businesses. Residents say tobacco related products are already expensive and competition may bring down prices they oppose the proposed legislation and say that its overreach by the government. I dont agree with that because i mean, for one, why wouldnt we want more variety . You know, we where you can, entrepreneurs should be able to have a business whenever they want. Law, existing businesses would be exempt. Preston tells me the next hearing will be with the Land Use Committee on march 18th in San Francisco.
