Staff is so friendly.

San Luis Obispo is running small businesses out of downtown. Or I should say has run them out! What a disgusting goal. I have older clients that can’t park at parking structures and walk over. Hourly rates on street or parking structures are too expensive to add on top of how much I charge for my services. Too bad! I Loved SLO when there was a lot of free parking and almost all local businesses! Gross, unattractive corporation city now. Boo to SLO city council!
