It's long overdue, but now San Francisco is slamming...

Wait, no, it's the opposite of that.

San Francisco is emptying out, stores are closing, people are moving away, and downtown has a 30% retail vacancy rate.

Why? Overwhelming numbers of homeless junkies committing endless car break ins, shoplifting, and literally shitting all over the place.

Some people want to tell you that your eyes are deceiving you and that crime in San Francisco is no better or worse than it's been for a long time, but nevertheless money talks and human shit walks, and major retailers are closing stores all over the city.

It's impossible for anyone to say that this isn't the fault of the democrats given that the last republican mayor ended his term in 1964. It's as solidly blue as they come.

The last DA, Chesa Boudin, was the son of literal terrorists, and he wasn't able to convince the people that SF wasn't dying around them, but the new DA, Brooke Jenkins, doesn't seem to be doing a much better job.

It's not just the fault of elected officials, however. Every time anyone makes a move to clean up the city, the protesting class pitches a hissy fit so nothing ever gets done.

This is a topic of endless fascination both for people who love the Bay Area and people who hate the Bay Area.

Given the direction the city has been going, this thread should produce entertainment and horror for years to come.

I'll kick this off with a story I haven't seen reported on here.

The TLDR is that a security guard shot and killed a homeless schizo UNARMED BLACK TRANS MAN and Jenkins is declining to prosecute, so of course there are protests from people who never offered the man a place to stay before he got killed.

Rally held to remember Banko Brown — D.A. declines to file charges against armed Walgreens guard

SAN FRANCISCO - Activists held a rally on Market Street in San Francisco Monday afternoon at the spot where 24-year-old Banko Brown was shot and killed last Thursday evening. But in a later development, the security guard arrested in connection to the shooting was released from jail and is not facing charges.

More than a hundred activists gathered on Market near Powell, at the Walgreens where Brown was shot dead. There, they blocked access on the sidewalk, spoke out, and demanded change from Walgreens and from the city.

The rally and remembrance started at 3 p.m. to honor Brown. Police said Brown was shot dead at Walgreens, by an armed security guard. Those at the rally say that guard shot Brown while attempting to stop a shoplifting incident.

"It's insane that Walgreens has armed security, there's nothing in that store worth a human life…"

Friends say Brown was a trans man and an active community organizer for the Young Women's Freedom Center. According to friends, Brown had struggled with housing instability for more than a decade. The group is calling on Mayor London Breed to do more to house trans youth.

The organization is also calling on Walgreens to eliminate armed guards, saying nothing in that shop was worth Brown's life. "It's insane that Walgreens has armed security, there's nothing in that store worth a human life, and Walgreens is not taking care of our community," said Jessica Nowlan from Young Women's Freedom Center. "We demand an end to armed security."

The man accused of shooting Brown, Michael-Earl Wayne Anthony, 33, who was in jail and expected to be formally charged with homicide on Tuesday, was unexpectedly released from jail on Monday. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins' office declined to file charges. Meanwhile, KTVU has learned SFPD is looking at a self-defense claim.

D.A. Jenkins elaborated on her decision in a statement issued late Monday.

"After careful review of all of the evidence gathered by the San Francisco Police Department in this case, my office will not be pursuing murder charges, at this time, in connection to the shooting. We reviewed witness statements, statements from the suspect, and video footage of the incident and it does not meet the People’s burden to be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury that the suspect is guilty of a crime. The evidence clearly shows that the suspect believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense.

We cannot bring forward charges when there is credible evidence of reasonable self-defense. Doing so would be unethical and create false hope for a successful prosecution.No matter the case, however, we must follow the law and the evidence, wherever it leads. We never make decisions based on emotions or what may be politically expedient," Jenkins' statement read.

Harvey Milk LGBTQ Democratic Club issued a statement saying in part, they did not know the full details, going as far as calling this a "murder", but that his death was "tragic and senseless."

"Banko's murder is also a reminder that ensuring the safety of our trans siblings goes beyond proclaiming our acceptance and love for trans people; it requires us to address systemic issues like poverty, homelessness and anti-Black racism."

The group goes on to say that trans people in San Francisco are 18 times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population. "While fewer than 6% of San Franciscans are Black, more than half of the people imprisoned in San Francisco's jails are Black."

Why is it the obligation of Walgreens to take care of our community? Fuck your crime enabling homosexual community.

Anyway, my deepest regards to the poor trans man of color gunned down in the prime of youth.

Activists don't think retail workers' lives are worth anything. The "thing" in that store worth a human life are the productive citizens working and shopping there. If you're putting a security guard in fear of his life on camera, then if there hadn't been an armed guard, you'd probably have been assaulting people in the store.

These people want to pretend every thief is Prisoner 24601 stealing a loaf of bread for his starving family. The reality is that these are hardened criminals in organized theft rings who don't give a fuck about human life. Caring about their lives and not the lives of the workers just trying to make a living selling tampons and cigarettes is fucked up.

Glad we have a thread. It’ll help consolidate some of the articles.

Yeah they see retail work as beneath them. They don’t care if regular wagies get hurt or die, they see them with contempt. They care more about criminals and addicts than productive members of society because that’s who they identify more with.

My favorite is the Target with an entire department locked up behind glass. Yeah, I'm sure you don't have a massive homeless and black issue when you have to lock up fucking toothpaste. Razor blades I get, those fuckers are way too expensive.

I don't see how they can be profitable with these locked up cabinets. I imagine that sales will drop sharply because a lot of people will just not buy it since they don't want to spend the time or effort to chase down someone to open the cabinet and get the item for them (I will buy somewhere else).
Or, the store will pay an army of employees/clerks that does nothing else than open cabinets, gets item, walks to the cashier with the item for you?

I just don't see how this will be financially viable. Why not just stop selling these products alltogether?

I think what we're seeing is it isn't financially viable to have a storefront in San Fran.
