Also, the Target across the street from us, one of the smaller Target Express concept stores on trial in San Francisco, just shut down permanently last week. The store manager cited crime and the cost of hiring off duty police as security (in addition to normal security personnel) as making the store too expensive to operate. Walgreens closing down smaller stores as well citing the same reason. Driving though our neighborhood and an adjacent neighborhood, during the past couple of weeks and I've seen no fewer than four businesses with glass doors or display windows smashed in. I read about how this is a conspiracy in reporting, but the businesses are leaving and many storefronts in our neighborhood are empty. I also read how some citizens are trying to shame companies like Walgreens from leaving their neighborhoods... But the blame seems terribly misplaced. A more reflective, thoughtful population might make the connection between the policies they support in being against something and the negative outcomes that arise by not actually being for something that addresses these issues. San Francisco, collectively, is just not that smart
