From the article: ``illegal . . . for online retailers to ship the goods to San Francisco addresses."
Does anyone know how the government of SF would enforce that on an online retailer not based in SF? Tell them they've been fined, then sue them in state court if they don't pay?
- phil248 7y agoThe idea that my local government is telling me I can't have a perfectly legal product delivered to my home is infuriating.

- balfirevic 7y agoI'm not from US so I was pretty surprised to see that a city would have jurisdiction to do something like that.
- hollerith 7y agoThe city I live in (in the US) collects sales tax from online retailers, so I am inclined to think that the government of SF has some way to inflict pain on the online retailers that ignore this ban.
- romwell 7y agoAnd if the retailer is out-of-state, is that interfering with interstate trade?
