Maybe they should invite Xi back for a visit. SF proved that they could clean up the streets for a few weeks

Landlord wanted a 500% rent increase. When a third of the city is vacant. For some reason this store was not wanted.

Moved to San Francisco in the early 90s, great town, so much fun, so beautiful. Then Newsome became mayor in 2004 and destroyed it, then he became Governor of the state and destroyed the joy of living there. The only good thing is it is still a beautiful state you just can’t enjoy it other than a few secluded areas. Moved out of SF in 2016 and out of state 2019.

These stores should all move to Red States - in safe suburban locations. They would do very well.

Do the liberal owners ( who most likely voted for their own demise ) come with it?

all these closures provide an opportunity for a right thinking Bay Area city that believes in enforcing the law

I am injecting nothing, when photos of the store show “lost our lease” signs. And you could know that if you had any interest in climbing out of your mental condition of rank ignorance. The downtown store is closing due to the obvious loss in traffic and I could read that 15 times in the article but there is no business that can handle a 500% rent increase.

It is you injecting some comment you attribute to me that I never said, douchebag.

Ugh, great point! No thanks. If that's the case, they should just shutter their businesses. They'll grumble and blame Trump or Republicans... or someone else for their woes, as usual.

Have no fear.

You can still get your children their own zamboni at FAO Schwartz for only $350.
