It looks like the Golden Gate Restaurant Association endorsed it[0]. I couldn't find a list of which restaurants are members of the GGRA, but the board of directors[1] includes people from the Bluestem Brasserie, San Francisco Soup Company, Ladle and Leaf, Extreme Pizza, Rose's Cafe, Wayfare Tavern, Souvla, Canela, Palm House, The Dorian, and Perry's.

  The GGRA includes nearly every significant restaurant in the Bay Area. Hope you like cooking. Your position is something like, “Man this Donald Trump guy is f’in horrible. Give me a list of all Americans so I can remember to never talk to them again.”

    But he mentioned just the list of board-member-related restaurants. The position is more like: "Man I hate Donald Trump, I'm going to boycott his daughters clothing line" https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/07/24/ivanka-trump-shuts-down-her-namesake-clothing-brand https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/07/24/ivanka-tr...

If the goal is to help restaurants, wouldn't a better approach be to build more housing so that: 1) There are more people in the areas with offices who are around to eat dinner. Therefore, restaurants aren't so dependent on the lunch money of office workers. 2) Restaurant workers can get cheaper rent and therefore restaurants can find staff more easily.

This is such a shitty move, FAANG should buy all of them, and then just shut them down for good.

  No, they should react much worse than that. If you buy the businesses out, you're handing them a financial reward for their obnoxious regulatory behavior. All of the tech workers should boycott the restaurants involved in this political move. Tech workers in the bay area control most of the volume of high-end consumer spending (ie a lot of workers making a lot of money). It would decimate the targeted restaurants instantly.
