The real shame of this ordinance 311-10 is the residency requirement. Do you know what it is? Seven Days. The job seeker must "live" in San Francisco for at least seven days.

If the idea of this ordinance is to give jobs to the chonic long-time unemployed San Franciscians, you are in for a shock. Unemployed San Franciscians will be the last to get any of these jobs.
