Does this seem a little like bit of gov't overreach? They're saying a business can't provide food to their employees? Am I missing something?
IT also could be argued to be a forced breach of contract as custom and practice is …
I'm sorry but this is so f*cking stupid. As a Bay Area resident my priorities are the cost of housing, cleaning our dirty streets and alleviating traffic congestion. This is an example of progressivism gone awry. Solving the basics is incredibly important. Our quality of life is in decline (in the bay area) and this is the best our politicians can do? I'm enraged.
Your municipality does not have the legal or financial mechanisms to solve homelessness, housing, and traffic congestion. They are all natural consequences of economic and political decisions made higher up the food chain.
This can definitely help support local business. But seems unfair to lower-salary employees. As an employee who used to have free lunch and now doesn't, I have felt the financial effects. Dining out truly can make a big impact on the wallet- $10 dollars per meal (unlikely in Mountain View unless fast food) x 5 meals a week x 48 weeks a year (let's be generous and assume you get that much PTO) = $2,400 annually Compan…
Besides, it is also healthy to really get out of the office for an hour or two.

Yeah its pretty crazy. I expect the city to get sued over it.

Everywhere I've ever worked, >90% of people bring their meals to work >90% of the time. This sounds like another of those special microcosm "problems".
It's a free meal at the office, but if you want to go out they made deals with most of the local restaurants where it gives the employee $5 off
This might be a great idea in theory, but terrible execution. By having this only apply prospectively, it makes every new business have to compete with businesses that can offer free meals on campus.
Still, companies should be able to decide what they want to offer their workers.

Your perspective bores me.

Sum that point of view across an entire population and we have the problems we have today. Your perspective bores me.
