Can someone explain what this means? Did she lead an Al Sharpton like protest at the grocer? I assume the "gave some change" part refers to the beggers, but maybe I'm wrong about that. Did she give so much change to so many beggars that the grocery doorway was swamped with them, and the store went out of business? Is this some colloquial San Fran speech that I do not understand?
HELP! THANK YOU!
That's essentially what the ad means. There have been many instances of small shop owners in San Francisco being driven out of business by the presence of these dangerous psychotics - especially shops that cater to tourists.
San Francisco's entire economy is based on tourism. As word gets out that the place is unsafe and unpleasant to visit, the city's budget deficit is starting to mirror the state's.
