Have you ever wondered where all that stone booty in San Francisco ends up? A lot of the shoplifted items end up being sold out in the open by street vendors. San Francisco Mayor London Breed has been trying to crack down on the lawlessness by shutting down the illegal street vendors. But that […]
Retailers can’t get enough of leaving their hearts in San Francisco, or at least just leaving. Everybody from higher-end retailers like Nordstrom and Saks Off 5th, to global brands Uniqlo, Gap, and H&M, to corner Walgreens and CVS outlets have called it quits on The City That Knows How to Make Everything Worse. […]
As I described a few days ago, residents and business owners in San Francisco have come up with their own plan for dealing with tent camps which crowd the sidewalks and sometimes even block access to doorways. Over the past few years, they have installed heavy steel planters on the sidewalks. The planters weigh up […]
Did I say that activists in San Francisco were upset about people blocking the sidewalk? No, that can’t be right. What the activists are upset about is “planters” blocking the sidewalk.

Walking to cast their ballots next week along needle-strewn streets, past the gauntlet of addicts, petty thieves and empty storefronts that are the landmarks of 21st-century San Francisco, voters of the city by the Bay are expected to send a powerful message that they have had enough. “The pendulum is swinging,” Malcolm Weitz, 41, said.

Macy’s announced today that it will close about 30% of its outlets nationwide which works out to about 150 stores. Macy’s will close its flagship Union Square store, according […]
