[@odietamo9376]

Nothing left to steal? Are you crazy? Do you have any idea how rich SF is? The reason for all the car break ins and the shoplifting and the smash and grab robberies is because they are being done by organized gangs. They work in teams. They realize they can easily get away with it because there are few if any consequences. Once the politicians and the judicial system-the courts, the DA-get serious about stopping it, then it will change. Or if they don’t, I predict people will more and more start to take the law into their own hands. The way it is now will not go on forever-how it stops is the only question. I am not including the SFPD in my criticism because they would LOVE to do more. But they are understaffed and fed up with people they arrest being released almost immediately, especially by judges who sympathize with criminals more than their victims, as well as various court rulings in the past that, to be fair, make it hard for the judges to be hard on crime. It’s a mess! Btw, I live in San Francisco.

Similar situation in a lot of towns and cities in the UK. Companies cannot afford to pay the high rents and increases.

[@darrenmitchell5262]

The rents aren’t so much the issue, with so many empty shop units around it’s actually easier to negotiate better rates but business rates and other costs are the issue and of course on-line shopping which is slowly decimating the high street.

Lived near San Francisco in the 80s and hosted my mother and my sister for a few days in the late 80s. Mom was a shopaholic and us kids tagged along as she visited all the huge department stores that someone from a rural, northern Pennsylvania town had only seen in pictures. I always considered San Francisco to be THE MOST COSMOPOLITAN city west of the Mississippi River. How sad that like many once great cities, retail stores have been forced to leave downtown. Retailers are the lifeblood of a city.

I lived in the South Bay area for many years in 80s and 90s and I would take my family to "the City" on day long mini-vacations several times a year. It was always fun and diverse.... beautiful views, good food, culture, shopping, doing touristy stuff. I even had some action, being in the military, in 89 during the earthquake, and collapse at the Bay Bridge. Now, I'm sad to say, I wouldn't consider stepping foot in San Francisco. I've even left California for the same reasons... the stupidity of governance and cost of living in the area.

[@larswillsen]

The answer is quite simple: The businesses in downtown San Francisco are closing due to a combination of factors, including concerns over safety related to shoplifting and other crimes, declining foot traffic, high office vacancy rates, a decrease in the city's working population returning to the office, a rise in the unhoused population, and high housing costs in the state.

Rochester, NY is starting to have the same problems. Not as many homeless, due to the severe winters, but plenty of abandoned houses filled with squatters, prolific drug use, lots of guns(even children have them)& neighborhoods that not even the police will go into unless they go in numbers. Store personnel have been instructed by management not to apprehend shoplifters, due to gun violence. Therefore, people simply pick up things and walk out - no consequences. Many stores now keep nearly all of their merchandise in locked cases, especially drug stores. Others only allow a handful of people in at any given time - and I mean a handful...like 5. My sister lives on the outskirts, with her son and his wife,& they have a rule that nobody goes anywhere out of the house after dark unaccompanied. Not only that, but he programmed my sister's phone to give an audible warning if she is getting too close to a bad area...and there are more than one. Scary. And the racial hatred is phenomenal. There are even grocery stores you need to avoid; if you are not a person of color, you WILL be harassed,& very possibly attacked outside the store. If you fight back, you can be charged with a hate crime.
