She really is that much of an idiot isn't she?
A. People were shopping there until the crime got too bad
and
B. No one will go to a soccer game with crime up and getting worse.

The house is on fire and she’s calling it “remodeling”.

No one will go to a soccer game with crime up and getting worse.The Detroit Red Wings learned that firsthand with Olympia Stadium and later the Joe Louis arena--fans don't want to risk their lives going to a hockey game.

If you read between the lines...she knows as a store-front...it won’t work. She also knows as ultra-expensive condos...it won’t work. It has to be torn down because it’s going to be a magnet for break-in’s and graffiti.
I would imagine at least an hour out of her day...this topic comes up and she has no real answer to give.

The closing of the Hilton is much more ominous for them. That was the center of the convention business - it’s a massive hotel. It has to be devestating to the tourist business.

Most liberals are somewhere on the moron to idiot scale when it comes to economic reality. The fact that she actually suggested even an unrealistic alternative might rank her at the mid-imbecile level.
Idiots couldn't come up with alternative. Morons might actually be able to come up with something on the fringes between realistic and fantasy land.

Lol, “people shop online.” They also watch sports on TV, at home.

Great idea!
Who doesn’t want to attend a sports event in the crime-ridden downtown area? Isn’t that part of the adrenaline rush?
[How long before the $billion complex is empty — because of the area being crime-ridden?]
Leftists never look at the disastrous consequences of their actions/decisions.

It appears that the mall is privately owned and financed. That’s a neat trick of stealing private property. So da mayor comes up with the old Roman plan of bread & circus…….

Same with FedEx Arena in Memphis. They tore down the “black” end of Beale Street to build it which concentrated um…”celebrants” into the tourist area.

Whole Foods is one of the stores that closed in downtown SF.
Whole Foods EQUALS Amazon. Even if people shop for groceries online, Whole Foods should thrive as Amazon is the big dog.
“Amazon Go” also closed.
MAYBE Gap, Old Navy and Marshall’s would be hit by on-line shopping. Norstrom, Sak’s Off 5th, and other high-end retailers should be relatively immune to high end shoppers who like the same day shopping experience and need tro try the clothes on. Same goes to a lesser degree for Crate and Barrel.
