At least they’re actually attributing it to crime. Around here, they can’t be honest - they say they close because they’re not near highways.
As if the highways moved away or something.
Soon to be command and control bases our enemies will be quartered and managed from at the local levels. Easy to fence and secure.
The Democrats have ruled California for several decades now.
You’d think the public would catch on, but that just doesn’t materialize.
I was born in this state. Its potential is amazing.
It has been severely damaged by the enemies of our nation.
Doesn’t sound like anything that bringing in a few thousand illegal aliens won’t fix.
While it may be a high crime area, I’m guessing the stores closed because the Internets and Amazon is killing the malls.
Ours is practically empty now, and will probably be torn down soon to be replaced by condos. Part of it already has been.............
There's simply nothing to stop San Francisco from continuing its decline like other American cities. The dotcom money is gone. The only industries left are the Grievance Industry and the Rape-The-Taxpayer Industry.

Great plan SF, kill the mall and reopen as homeless shelter!
More of Newsom’s planned demolition of California...
My Bioscience - Venture Capitalist - liberal relative saw it coming 6 years ago and quietly got out. Moved to Boulder, CO, heh.
The term is "death spiral", and once you've made a couple of turns it doesn't stop until you hit the bottom.
And it's not a so-called 'dead mall' in some forgotten corner of America.
They're working on that...
To be fair, this doom and gloom description applies to most malls in America.
But because this is in San Francisco, there is an extra helping of schadenfreude to be applied.
Suck it losers.
Often after the sun sets, the abandon stores/mall become a no man/woman area until mid morning the next day.
Perfect places to store illegals.
Isn’t it amazing how quickly and easily, and thoroughly, Marxist radicals can destroy a civilization?
Let the bums and illegals fight over it
>>The mall’s cavernous, marble-floored atrium is eerily quiet.
I’ve never understood why one would want to buy clothing in a store with marble floors.
The overhead of marble floors must be built into the price of the clothing.
Clothing should be bought online or in economically built and operated real estate.
Give out free stuff and advertise and the freeloaders will come.
Westfield SF was an expansion and renovation of the flagship of a store called The Emporium, founded in 1896. They preserved the building’s facade and 102-foot dome. Probably the most glorious retail space I’ve ever seen. The forthcoming collapse of this enterprise is a perfect metaphor for the suicide of the SF

Turn the mall into an indoor shooting range. You might be surprised at how busy it gets.
The City would never go for that, though.
I saw an interesting study that plotted the lifecycle of shopping different malls and how bus stops effected the malls - negatively. Bus stops were supposed to bring customers and instead brought crime and violence.
