One of the largest supermarkets in Downtown San Francisco—the Whole Foods Market at Eighth and Market streets—intends to shut down at the close of business Monday just a little more than a year after the store opened, company officials told The Standard.

“We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being,” a Whole Foods spokesperson said in a statement. “If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening of our Trinity location.”

A City Hall source told The Standard the company cited deteriorating street conditions around drug use and crime near the grocery store as a reason for its closure.

The beleaguered grocery store on Market Street slashed its operating hours due to “high theft” and hostile visitors in October last year, according to one of the store's managers. And in November, the store enforced new bathroom rules after syringes and pipes were found in the restroom.

Demprog policies foster crime and decay but they are too ideologically addled to know or care.

How can this happen?

California is smarter than any other state.

San Francisco is smarter than any other city.

Whole Foods is smarter than any other grocery store.

What could cause this? It has to be rednecks in the south.

Man if you can't keep frickin' Whole Foods in San Francisco, then you're straight up fricked.

Holy shite.

Now I wouldn’t know if that's a nice part of town or not but I do know that Whole Foods typically doesn't set up in the ghetto.

Won't change a thing. The idiots in SF will continue to vote for left-of-Stalin candidates.

ETA: from the article -
quote:

City Hall officials currently expect a nearly $800 million deficit in San Francisco’s budget.


Also, San Francisco -
quote:

San Francisco’s reparations plan includes giving $5 million to every black adult resident of the city. To pay $5 million to each person would cost $175 billion.

In addition to the proposed lump sum, the board is considering lifting all tax and debt burdens for black residents, giving them homes in exchange for $1, and paying them $97,000 a year for 250 years. For reference, San Francisco’s city budget last year was $14 billion.

San Francisco can't support a Whole Foods?

I can’t even imagine living somewhere where I had to constantly deal with drug addicts, homeless bums and criminals everywhere. Even in a nice grocery store or outside my home especially.

Those people are insane.
