    One very important aspect of any location for a business is the local and state political climate toward your industry and business. If you find unnecessary political difficulty in opening your business or obtaining permits, identify other options and research the satisfaction of other business owners regarding the responsiveness of local politicians. I'd recommend considering going door to door, meet the neighbors. Often, you'll find in instances like this, you'll need to spend quite a bit on legal fees and other costs, not associated with the business over time. Information is never perfect, but not all business environments are the same. Unless you have deep pockets, consider other locals. Just a friendly, and neighborly recommendation from a California CPA.

    The permitting issues are due to NIMBYs, across the board. Oakland minority and LGBTQ+ locations have faced permitting issues too. It’s even worse when neighborhood districts take advantage of prospective (same causes, like Mexican) small businesses too.

    This is another prime reason why the City can't advance.... too much unnecessary red tape. They don't want box stores and they don't want small business owners to succeed. How can a small business owner pay all of the permit fees and pay for months of rent when they can't even move into their business. Its outrageous how special interest groups tell small business owners what and what they can't do, ie what kind of art to sell, what kind of food to serve. There is something for everyone, if you don't like the menu, go somewhere else. Its like telling an Italian restaurant thatthey have to serve Chinese fare for the Chinese patrons. Duh!

    the regulations, permits & fees that are placed on small business owners is ridiculous. all of it put into place without taking ANY consideration to the operational capabilities of the business. I've had an experience where the health department wouldn't approve my plans until I put a $3,000 air-curtain on double doors that were inside of a building(didn't lead outside). when the health inspector came for final inspection she told she didn't care if I had an air-curtain there or not because it wasn't necessary. $3,000 out the door because of the incompetence running the city. For any future business owners.. DO NOT COME TO CALIFORNIA. With the regulations, fees, rent, woke practices, inflation there are no profit margins.
