This article is a good description of the liberal mindset. I am surprised it was published in the SF Chronicle.

Sick bastards. San Freakcisco is the world’s largest outdoor insane asylum....

Probably didn't like the “American” in the store name. Change it to “Cuban Apparel” and watch their attitudes change.

I’m out of comments for nonsense like this. SF needs to become its own country and take L.A. with ‘em.

So in an economic downturn, we have a city REFUSING to let business in?

*shakes head*...

Morons.

San FascistSicko is an embarrassment to America.

Most American cities would have welcomed a retailer that actually MANUFACTURES in America!

SF part of that One World Liberal Globalist agenda...they probably did not like it that a company actually MANUFACTURES in America.

Most communities would appreciate the “magic” of an American Apparel store opening in their communities

American Apparel is a big time proponent of illegal immigration. Much, if not most of their workers are illegals.

Ahhh! The Mission. I remember learning colloquial Spanish there when I tried to figure out what the phrase “No urine aqui” that was painted on the sides of all the buildings there. It’s a toilet.

Cool. SF liberals oppressing minorities. I love it.

This article is a good description of the liberal mindset.

I just posted the article on facebook with a click of the mouse. I find the article here, go to the source of the link and presto! I have a SF Chronicle article to share with anyone who happens by my page. I keep the political slant under wraps. I just am subtly exposing that 40% in the mushy middle to another point of view.

For those who don’t work a jobs is not important.

I too am surprised that the Chronicle ran this, even as an opinion/feature (not straight news).

The “Magical Mission” is very close to where I grew up. Back then in the 50s and 60s it was a nice neighborhood, with small department stores, furniture stores, restaurants, coffee shops, markets, movie theatres and a very safe clean environment. The “Magical Mission” now is home to stores that resemble those found in Tijuana, filth on the streets. You don’t have to look far for a drug dealer. There have been attempts to re-gentrify some of the area, with a few nice restaurants, but on the whole I have trouble seeing the “magic”! As the writer states, American Apparel is probably lucky they didn’t have to try to survive in this environment, but what a loss for the City!
