Major Retailer to Close Flagship San Francisco Store After Less than a Year
Breitbart ^ | 05/11/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Another major retailer is leaving downtown San Francisco — this time Coco Republic, an Australian furniture store that is leaving the iconic Union Square less than a year after opening a flagship location there.

The ongoing retail exodus from San Francisco follows years of worsening crime, drugs, and homelessness, plus a wave of “mass looting” events that have caused many other retail stores and chains to leave the city.

Other reasons include a decline in foot traffic in downtown San Francisco as a result of pandemic restrictions that caused many workers to shift to work-from-home, and many residents to relocate outside of the city.

Correct. If the Fornies have so much money they want to make all Africans millionaires, they might want to pay the Mexicans back for stealing Cauliphonya from them. It’s the Mexicans who need reparations from the Californios.

My only question is what made them think to open it one year ago? SF was an open urinal in 1999, it has become much worse in the time since.

Property tax breaks?

Yep, the Fabulously Wealthy got Big Tax Breaks, the Legacy SF Businesses got Tax Increases.

What The Twitter Tax Break Means For San Francisco

Most of CEO are just book smart, they never had a job at the ground level. They come out Yale, Harvard, Oxford, LSE and other prestigious universities, and they never think for themselves because they surround themselves with Yes people. I got my Business Management degree from a branch of UConn and people thought that it wasn’t worth anything. Who cares because I know the workings of business from the ground floor up.

More room for illegal mexicans, Chinese and God-knows-what-else ... the border states governors should up the ante.
