SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — More than half of all storefronts in San Francisco are no longer in business due to COVID-19, according to the survey by the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
“The survey showed only 46 percent of storefront businesses in San Francisco that were open at the beginning of the pandemic are still operating,” said Jay Cheng, spokesman of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
That means 1,200 stores are still open, while about 1,300 have closed, Cheng said.
“There’s a lot of reasons for that. If you’re a fitness studio, you can’t open because of the pandemic. If you’re a retail space, you could open, but you might have decided that there isn’t enough foot traffic or enough customer base to make that worthwhile to reopen. So it’s become a very difficult situation,” Cheng said. more here
More places to take a dump and nobody cares.
Here’s hoping that reality will headbutt these democRAT dictators sooner than later and that four more years of Donald J. Trump will put the kibosh my hard-earned tax dollars going to support these assholes and their Socialist/Marxist revolution!
“Pandemic” my ass.
It’s a good thing San Francisco doesn’t need the tax revenues to support its politicians and city employees.
I see nobody that worked on the article even bothered to elicit any comments from Mayorette London Breed. Her thrilling acumen on the problem(s) might have been interesting and would probably start like this “President Trump has failed to…..”
More than likely those closed stores cannot pay the high rent since they are closed. Going to be a lot of empty real estate soon.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnnd you can bet yer bottom dollar that this will have long lasting effects! A lot of empty real estate may represent a good opportunity some day, but not until this stain of Liberal chaos, anarchy and “Socialism” is erased. They’ve salted the earth there. Nobody is going to invest their hard-earned money into something where there is a chance that this will all happen again and destroy their dreams!! I can show you areas that were riot-strewn in 1968 that never recovered to this day! Merchants don’t take out 30 year loans just to go back to a shit-hole!
The word “Closed” is misleading. They are OB. Outa Business. The Zombie Sheep in San Fran just bend over and take it.
Mmmmmmm – no mention of riots…
Slowly, Soylent Green is becoming more prophetic.
How inhumane! What are the multitudes of rats supposed to eat if people leave the City? Also, what are the rodents supposed to do?
No mercy for San Sodom.
Having businesses closed means having a larger pool for Soros to hire from.
How’s that workin’ out for ya, MaligNancy?
…meh. They probably didn’t need THAT many stores selling things to shove up each other”s asses to BEGIN with…
As long as she gets re-elected, flip, it’s working out for her just fine.
