two cops and security guards are a band-aid. If you approach the Westfield from the Mission St garage, the entire Mission-facing side of the whole mall reeks of human excrement, has camping tents and incoherent people lying on the sidewalk. Two feet away from a shiny Bloomingdale, which is a miracle how it's still in business and will probably soon quit like Nordstrom did here. It's like a wave of crap sweeping over previously decent locations. Two assigned cops are not very useful against a tsunami of crap. I also had my car broken into right there on 4th St with crowds walking by, but that's a different story.
