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.
That is correct.
The house is on fire and she’s calling it “remodeling”.
What sport?
“Stupid is as stupid does...”
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.
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…….
Convert to a Shooting Gallery and New Weapons Testing Center .... (with live Targets).
About a week ago an ABC reporter was warned not to go near Westfield mall as it was too dangerous. I struggle to understand how going to a soccer stadium would be any safer.
Crap for brains.
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.
I have never been to San Francisco, and won’t unless business takes me there.
Looking at it on the map, who wants to direct thousands of cars to a sports arena on a peninsula? One well-placed accident, and the pile-up could last for DAYS.
The downtown stadium for the San Diego Padres is working quite well.
But a crime ridden shithole city San Diego is not.
The mall in San Francisco is closed because people stopped going there. Because...well...
I went to a Rams game in St. Louis 20 years ago. Crime really wasn’t a problem on a Sunday morning, but it turned out to be an undesirable location for many fans. Oh yes, on paper they almost sold out, maybe because corporations bought the PSLs, but the location wasn’t great. On the other hand, the Cards do okay and they are nearby.
Liberals never acknowledge failure or consequences. Never.
Sounds like a reason for not to be a sanctuary city. But, you people in SF put her in office, so I guess that’s what you want. I was there 30 years ago and loved the city. Went back two years ago and saw people camped out a block from the wharf, feces on the streets, people passed out in doorways, and used needles in the street gutters. I’ll never go back and would encourage everyone to do the same.
