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?
This restriction was made, in exchange for letting the office be built.
They could have asked the Zuckerberg to do the chicken dance, for 10 minutes, in exchange for letting the office be built, if they wanted to.

This strikes me as an illegal regulation.

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".
Where have you worked?
I've also done locum work in more than that.
What's stopping companies from charging a cent per meal?
The ban on "company cafeterias" cannot possibly work, they will be simply replaced by separated business entities that happen to share the same building and have a financial arrangement like the one described. Pretty soon you will go full retard trying to stop this.

This was a contractual agreement, that Facebook agreed to, in exchange for allowing the office to be built.
The classic example of this is the old-school homeowner's association covenant that forbade selling your house to people of a certain race.
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.

That said, I would still have no problem if it was the landlord (WeWork) making this restriction, instead of the MTV government. This is a private business-to-business matter, and shouldn't be the domain of government.

Sum that point of view across an entire population and we have the problems we have today. Your perspective bores me.
What baffles me is the perspective that: "Because can't fix these problems, everything that does is stupid and useless."
