Jesse Arreguin (D-Oakland), aims to change that. The new law, recently signed by Gov.

A similar effort happened only once before, for San Francisco’s eastern waterfront in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/sen/sb_0801-0850/sb_815_bill_20070223_introduced.html\">2007 bill\u003c/a>, he noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ It could be a grocery store, a barbershop, a nail salon.

And then you have a downward spiral. So I think the cost of doing nothing is very significant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No arguments in opposition to SB 304 were submitted during the legislative process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing outside the now-vacant Waterfront Hotel, which closed earlier this year after 35 years in business, Savlan Hauser, executive director of the Jack London Improvement District, said SB 304 will be a “game-changer” for the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having the flexibility to bring more diverse [businesses] down here that people can patronize and engage with is a big deal; this will help,” Hauser said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local business owners like Dorcia Darling-White, co-owner of Everett & Jones BBQ, are excited to see Jack London Square shift toward offering conveniences for Oaklanders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12061350\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12061350\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251023-SB304FOLO-05-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251023-SB304FOLO-05-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251023-SB304FOLO-05-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/10/251023-SB304FOLO-05-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Owner Dorcia White serves customers at Everett & Jones Barbeque’s Broadway location in Jack London Square, a waterfront neighborhood in Oakland, on Oct. 23, 2025. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>She said a nail salon would be great.

So we’re excited for anything new.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strong, who’s worked as a bartender in the area for more than a decade, also supports more shops tailored to locals, such as a grocery store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ I would love to be able to run errands before work. The closest we have to a grocery store is the Restaurant Supply, and I don’t need 50 pounds of onions for home,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though optimistic about the new law’s potential, Port officials are trying to temper expectations. Veach said major changes, like a new grocery store, could take time, but smaller businesses might open within a year as new marketing and leasing efforts begin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
