SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- According to the California Retailer's Association three cities in our state are among the top 10 in the country when it comes to organized retail crime--Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento.

Already we are seeing the negative impact it is having in San Francisco with stores permanently shutting down or closing early. It has become one of the most pressing issues in our city today.

Target has now acknowledged that San Francisco is the only city in America where they have decided to close some stores early because of the escalating retail crime.

For more than a month, we've been experiencing a significant and alarming rise in theft and security incidents at our San Francisco Stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area.

Target isn't the only store in San Francisco to make changes because of the continuous shoplifting. After 10 p.m. the 7-Eleven on Drumm St. in the Financial District only does business through a metal door. But first you have to ring the bell to let them know you're outside.

I know Leftists only pretend to care about people but you’d think these idiots would eventually figure out they’re losing tax revenue.

Looks like banning prosecutions for theft has an effect..

We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality.

Maybe they’ll figure out when they get mugged while ringing the 7/11 doorbell.

One of my buds works as a tRGT Store manager. Hates their politics with their mampy pamby fag-crap and gets reports of which stuff gets stolen. They go for the high-ticket items and rarely do the perps go to jail.

This is amusing. The orcs burn and loot their stores, while Target virtue signals about acceptance and diversity

OK, assume that each retail location is its own profit center. Also assume that the store executives are compensated on the basis of that profit. At what point is keeping that store open more costly than closing it? At what point will the store management demand transfers or quit instead?

These cities think that deep pockets of national retailers will keep them running. I predict that they may be correct in the short term but very wrong in the longer term.

You can have a heartache for San Francisco but having your wallet picked on a frequent basis will cool your affection quickly!

Cause and effect. Less law enforcement yields more crime.

Note to GOP for their ads for the next 10 years:
“San Francisco...its destruction is now coming to your town...thanks to the Democrat Party and One Party Rule”

Too bad they are too cowardly to run it.

Coming soon: the drive-thru drug store. Not one where you can drive thru to pick up your prescription, one where there is ONLY a drive-thru.

Apparently, the guys hired to power wash the poopy sidewalks and streets were laid off and called non essential.
