Apparently, a lot of residents can take a lot more because they continue to vote for the Leftwing lunatics who created the policies that caused the store to shut down.

The timeless and age old question remains front and center.
WHO did you vote for?

I’m starting to think some voters never make the direct connection between which candidate they vote for, and what the local quality of life is that follows an election.
You would think it be a simple matter of
“Cause and Effect”, obvious to all.

Now that they are gone the government can open a store and give food away to the poor homeless people .

The response from the city will be to draft a ordinance prohibiting a business they deem as essential to nearby residents to close. I think they did this already with larger stores (it did not pass) but I can see them trying again.

MSNBC panelist said “Despite the false narrative by the Republicans, the FBI statistics show crime is down.”
Others on panel nodded.

So someone isn’t getting the story out to the crime victims and people afraid to shop in places where others got mugged or carjacked. /S

Same as the economy under Bidenomics is doing great despite restaurants and stores closing all over the country. With their staffs out of work.

Wait.....I thought I was told crime, shoplifting, and violence, was merely a “perception problem”, with no real basis in fact?

I used to shop there regularly when I lived downtown in 2007-2008. They have no real competition in the neighborhood. That they had to close anyway tells you all you need to know about SF government.

I think that for a lot of voters it’s just about self-image — “I know that I am a Good Person, because in the last election, I voted for the Good Guys”.

And of course the schools and the media have done a fine job of making sure everyone knows who the Bad Guys are, so ...

I think the question the both of you have asked is probably, they voted for no one, but they still got counted anyway.

We are having this discussion in another FR thread, when you have dirty voter rolls combined with universal mail in voting, it’s nearly impossible to vote out incumbents.

How many of the homeless, drug addicts and people have died from fentanyl overdosing are still registered voters in SF, probably a significant percentage, enough so just about any outcome is predetermined.

Regarding the lawlessness....these louts don't seem to realize that they are fouling their own nest.

Secure a cable to one thieving hand by a handcuff type attachment, run the cable to the back via the groin area and secure the other end of the cable to a locked neck collar.

How will a thief change his pants and underwear?

The thief won’t, the thief will simply wash them out while showering.

What if the thief removes the device?

Remove the thief to a prison.

Expect to hear on Tuesday:

When I was District Attorney in San Francisco, there was generally law & order.
