“…The bones of the domes are still intact, but the staff cut off the bottom 4 feet of the plastic cover — effectively creating a rounded tent that’s open on the sides.
“It kind of defeats the main purpose of why we had it up in the beginning but it is doing it some justice. It’s better than nothing,”
Said Hashiri manager Kenichiro Matsuura, noting the modified domes don’t adequately block the wind…
…The restaurant is located on Mint Plaza, a SoMa gathering place with many homeless encampments nearby, and Matsuura said:
“people had stuck their fingers in diners’ meals, spit in their food and defecated next to tables. The structures were a way for the restaurant to control the dining environment.”

San Francisco dome dining has already returned, with some modifications
Think about that.
You have invested money to start a fine dining restaurant, but the area is inundated by the smells, droppings, and intimidating physical presence of homeless people that the local authorities refuse to police. You try to find a solution in the form of plastic domes, to isolate patrons from the environmental effects of the homeless, but the local government inspectors close down your restaurant claiming your solution does not meet code. You have to modify your solution so that it is no longer effective in its original purpose before the government inspector will allow you to reopen.
Democrat.
This area is governed by Democrats.
Vote for Democrats and this is what you will get.
