   @drahardja @ids1024 I believe they can regulate and fine them, but can't make it a criminal offense without the state law change. Basically, Public Works can issue a civil fine, but SFPD cannot.

     @drahardja Local municipalities only have the powers delegated to them by the state, so I guess California cities and counties don't have the power under current state laws to enforce things in the particular way SF wants to here.

     @ids1024 But they can kick *all* the vendors out. It’s so weird.

     I’m not sure how SF city code works, but why did this have to be a *state bill*? The problem seems localized to SF (and a specific BART station within SF). I can see why the state assembly would be reluctant to pass a bill that regulated street vending across the entire state, but was really made to address the problem that exists only within SF.
