San Francisco to fight crime by ordering Tenderloin businesses to close earlier
Just The News ^ | 12 July 2024 | Kenneth Schrupp

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a measure to impose a curfew on businesses in the city’s Tenderloin District over concerns that open businesses are hotspots for crime, drug dealing and drug use.

The legislation also noted how the city’s police officers are typically outnumbered by large groups of “people engaged in illegal activity,” suggesting crime in the area's disarray has grown past law enforcement’s ability to control.

And San Francisco wonders why businesses fold, pack up and move out of the city. And they want to fine businesses that leave. Meanwhile the city enables crime and criminal activity. Who is running the city anyways, morons? Idiots? Children in grammar school?

In addition to being fascist, this law will increase crime. Having an entire neighborhood closed will give free reign to the criminals.

..they feel fearful to walk outdoors during the nighttime and early morning
hours..

Because it's normal for citizens to recreationally walk between the hours of
"12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m”.

A dozen each AM? That wouldn’t make a dent. I have a feeling they multiply faster than that.

Whenever reading stories like this I feel so good we live in a red state in the middle of nowhere.

‘That law will just force more businesses to close because they can’t cover their operating costs’
Perfect! More prime real estate comes up for sale for pennies on the dollar.
Everything continues according to plan.

Crime downtown is seriously reduced in San Francisco because the businesses are all closed and gone. There is nothing left to steal

From the article “ Businesses that do not adhere to the rule can face fines of up to $1,000 per violation and can be found to be a public nuisance.”

It straight out of some weird bizzaro world dream. Fining business for doing business. AMAZING. 💩

That is just so awesome. Instead of arresting and prosecuting criminals, they tell law abiding business to close early.

Why do people put up with this crap.

Some folks leave on their own
Although picking up and moving and restarting a business is not easy.

Not impossible but not easy getting reestablished.

As unwise as people on the Left are, they learn from their few “successes” ... and the Fauci Flu lockdowns and heavy restrictions were such a “success” in controlling its citizenry through bureaucracy.

What idiots. Hire more cops and let them do their jobs without repercussion. Demand judges do their duty to the community rather than dismiss cases. Stop voting for leaders who encourage crime.

Here’s a novel idea: Enforce the law and arrest those committing illegal activities.
