Amazon is reducing cost centers around the nation. Crime in SF just happens to intersect with the way Amazon has ruined Whole Foods.. But the OP is correct. It is remarkable that a city that is soooo rich that it can afford to pay reparations can't keep a Whole Foods open and safe...
I guess the owners of the store dont buy into the whole "dealing with drug abusers, thieves, and violent *******s is just a part of living in San Francisco" mentality.
Who would open up a business in San Francisco knowing how other businesses are shutting down? It’s the same in Portland, Seattle and Chicago.
https://sfstandard.com/politics/cit...ls-to-780m-in-latest-sign-of-budget-distress/ Not likely! In new projections issued by the Controller's Office late Friday, budget analysts pegged the budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year at $290.9 million, $90.1 million higher than the city's last projection in January. For the upcoming two fiscal years, the Controller's Office expects a shortfall of $779.8 million, $51.5 million higher than was projected in its January report.
That's hate speech you white supremacist! You need to use the new proper pronouns. A new euphemism: "drug workers"
Oh, come on. Just shred taxes, cut welfare and the explosion of corporate profits will trickle, nay, shower down the wealth. Just ask Reagan's rotting corpse.
San Francisco is doomed. ……………….. San Francisco has the highest per-capita budget of any major city in the country. At $15,650 per person, it is about 40 percent higher than Bill de Blasio’s over-the-top New York City budget. You would think San Franciscans would have wonderful city services coming out of their ears. Wrong. San Francisco represents perhaps the greatest failure of governance in the country, and with this failure comes enormous waste, inefficiency, and dysfunctional politics. Beginning with providing tent living for the homeless, which costs about $61,000 per individual per year. This is not a typo. Not one too many decimal places. Remember, this is San Francisco, which squanders money at a rate that makes your head spin. San Francisco’s enormous spending on homelessness has worked about as well as throwing gasoline on a fire. The city’s 2020–21 budget for the Department of Homeless and Supportive Housing is about $852 million. To put that in perspective, Sacramento’s city budget is about $650 million, which covers all public services for their population of over 500,000. San Francisco estimates about 8,000 homeless living in the city. The $852 million budget works out to about $106,500 per homeless individual. Just imagine how much medical treatment and housing could be provided at that level of support. But how the budget is spent would be comedic if the problem weren’t so tragic. https://www.hoover.org/research/only-san-francisco-61000-tents-and-350000-public-toilets
San Fran is loaded with cash all of which trickled down from somewhere. They have a spending problem.

Sorry....that should have read "sherm drug users, zir thieves, and 2 spirited purple penguin violent ****s"
You DO recognize the things you cited DID make San Fran one of the most prosperous cities in the country attracting mega dollar corporate and tech companies...until the idiots on the left instituted communism and ****ed everything up........ right?
Yep. Screw that communism. Shred taxes, cut welfare, cut the red tape and the explosion of corporate profits will trickle, nay, shower down the wealth. Reagan said so.
Clever dodge. What do you say about the topic? I live here in CA and many businesses are fleeing the Dem controlled state.
Liberal cities are running out of places to rob. Walmart announces 4 Chicago store closings In a news release, the company said in part, "Our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago - these stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years. The remaining four Chicago stores continue to face the same business difficulties, but we think this decision gives us the best chance to help keep them open and serving the community." "I think it's terrible," said Chatham customer Norma Gregory. "Target left, now Walmart is gone, we don't have anything in our community anymore." https://abc7chicago.com/walmart-closing-stores-chatham-store-closings-chicago/13113537/
Perhaps. It isn't like the state of CA has any money for them to use... The hole democrats dig for themselves... and then expect others to bail them out...
