From TFA: > the city prohibits companies from fully subsidizing meals in the Village, and the rule could spread to other Bay Area cities in the future. So no, it doesn't apply "only to Facebook", it applies to new office complexes, in this particular case the complex called "the Village". It would apply to any companies within that office complex, and potentially any new complexes and offices built in MTV going forward. > For the SF rule, it is only proposed by Peskin and Safai. And Peskin himself said on twitter that this is just a proposal. You only need one lawmaker to propose a new law. Plenty of laws in the book were proposed by one or two lawmakers initially. > Peskin himself said on twitter that this is just a proposal. Not sure what tweet you're referring to. The one I've seen seemed very serious and even militant: > Announcing new leg to ensure on-site tech cafeterias don't continue to chip away at our vibrant neighborhood commercial corridors & small businesses. We're not the suburbs, we're an urban city with a vital local economy that corporations say they want their employees to support https://twitter.com/AaronPeskin/status/1021856608417021952 https://twitter.com/AaronPeskin/status/1021856608417021952 He's saying it's even more necessary in SF than in MTV...

  > So no, it doesn't apply "only to Facebook", it applies to new office complexes, in this particular case the complex called "the Village" No, it, based on the except you point to, applies specifically and only to “the Village”, not to new complexes generally (and the Village is not a pure office complex, by a mixed use one, and this rule seems specifically designed to make the Village attractive to restaurants.) > You only need one lawmaker to propose a new law. But you need a majority to pass it, and I've not heard any sign that the other Supes have expressed any interest.

  As you pointed out, it only applies to "Village". So my initial assertion was correct. Peskin will need a majority from the BoS and London Breed on his side to pass this legislation
