Soon they'll pass laws telling businesses they can't close certain locations.

Citing racism and equity.

the riots from a couple summers ago burned down many lower income areas of major cities. You would think the locals would not allow the invaders from other areas wreck their town.

Starbucks has 3,000 stores in California. They are closing six.

I’d like to see how many incidents of crime have occurred at those stores, if any.

Hey, Einstein, the stores are "severely underperforming financially" because they're in crime-ridden areas. In areas where DAs love to go light on criminals. Who in their right mind wants to hang out in a coffee shop to get their caffeine fixes in crime-ridden areas?

Unenforceable…

Unless communities are willing to subsidize them.
