It later points out the harm that it will cause to the small business community by stating &#8220;small businesses account for 98 percent of San Diego Businesses and the impacts COVID-19 has had on our small businesses, many which are family owned and run, have been significant.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faulconer and Cate correctly illustrated that small businesses\u2014like barbershops and salons\u2014are already struggling as a result of the first shutdown and many will not survive another one. As a solution, he mentioned the concessions given to other business sectors like retail and outdoor dining, hoping that a similar situation can be allowed for salons and barbershops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second closing is going to destroy many businesses and offers little benefit as compensation. Faulconer and Cate\u2019s letter is a step in the right direction and, thankfully, their advice has been heeded by Gov.
