SAN FRANCISCO: Shoplifting SKYROCKETS , Criminals Aren't Being Arrested Anymore, Stores CLOSING

[Vol423]

San Francisco's dying downtown is hit by another huge blow as Westfield Stops Making Mortgage Payments on its Massive Mall, after blaming Crime for tanking takings and Closure of flagship Nordstrom store

• Westfield has stopped making payments on a $558 Million Loan for its San Francisco mall, and is handing it back to their lender, who will appoint a receiver

San Francisco's struggling downtown has been dealt another blow with the news that Westfield is abandoning its massive mall - the biggest in the city - amid a plunge in sales sparked by the pandemic.

Westfield has stopped making payments on a $558 million loan, and is handing it back to their lender, who will appoint a receiver. It will remain open for now.

Last month, Westfield blamed 'unsafe conditions' and 'lack of enforcement against rampant criminal activity' in part for Nordstrom's departure from the mall.

I’m sick of reading story after story of these liberal idiots lying and blaming all these closures on Covid. Covid has nothing to do with these closures. These are 100% caused by your radical leftist policies of ignoring and not prosecuting theft and other crimes.

I was a bit shocked by the Union Square Hilton. I was stunned by the San Francisco Westfield.

Most (smart) tenants will have a kick that will allow them to exit their lease penalty free if the occupancy drops below a certain threshold. At 55% occupancy, I’m sure a lot of leases are already exposed. It’s a death spiral from there, but rarely seen in a premium property like this one. They saw the writing on the wall.

Democrats and their policies have truly destroyed San Francisco. God help us if Gavin Newsome is elected President.

There are no premium properties in SF anymore. The whole city is a crime riddled toilet.

Think about in the past where our major cities were vibrant hubs of activities. People wanted to move there for jobs with opportunities to advance. Evenings were full of social opportunities all under an umbrella of safety.
These cities could come back but it would require leadership from someone like Koch with help from someone like the Guardian Angels and a social change where people desire to be physically present rather than through a handheld device

This was always the plan... same as Maui, but replace wildfires, with looting/riots..... everyone moves out, value plummets, big money will move in and buy it up. Install a police state, big brother agenda 2030 system, with no real power to stop them or object since they collectively then have owners that support 15 minute cities as their new feudal lords, all for "safety".

Crisis created, solution created...

TYRANNY CREATED Welcome to your new technocratic hell prison; Neo-feudalism.

I'm sure none of what I say will come to pass right? So how will they clear the rif raff out later? what pandemic for the street people?

San Francisco Tourists visiting beach for 10 minutes have ALL their Belongings and Passports Stolen in brazen smash and grab​

Numerous groups of tourists visiting a beach in San Francisco had all their belongings stolen from their cars, including their passports, while at the ocean for just minutes.

On their second day in San Francisco, a group of tourists from Malta contemplated cutting their trip short and returning to Europe after the brazen smash and grab that occurred in broad daylight within a mere 10-minute window.

Shocking footage captured by Matty Lopez on Instagram and shared by journalist Arisley T. Pacheco, who documents robbery victims, revealed their car's trunk vandalized, with shattered glass scattered across the ground.

The man recording the video questions the tourists, 'So what happened - you went to the beach for five minutes?' Their response is disheartening: 'They took everything we had - passports, cameras, phones, iPads, laptops, luggage - everything.'

San Francisco tries to recruit cops from TEXAS as it faces Shortage of Hundreds of Officers - and business leaders like Salesforce's Marc Benioff slam the city's widespread Homelessness and Drug Use​

San Francisco is trying to recruit cops from Texas as it faces a shortage of officers, after businessman Marc Benioff slammed the city's homeless and drug problems.

The San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) is visiting four Texas university campuses throughout the month as part of a new recruitment drive.

Candidates from outside of the state of California will take a written test, a physical ability test and an interview to see if they make they cut.

A police spokesperson told the San Francisco Standard that the number of estimated applications this year is 2,104, nearly a 20 percent increase from 1,756 last year.

The recruitment push comes as the department faces staffing issues, causing it to pay out high amounts of overtime.


Following widespread calls for reforms that swept the nation following the murder of George Floyd, the department in the California city had it funding cut.

Mayor London Breed was one of the first to openly speak out in support of defunding the police.

Video shows Two LAPD Cops who were fired because they were too busy discussing Pokemon Go and ignored a robbery call​

• Officers Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell were fired after an internal investigation found their 2017 behavior 'unprofessional and embarrassing'

Stunning video shows the moment two Los Angeles cops were too busy talking about Pokémon Go to help their fellow officers on an armed robbery call.

Last week, the LAPD released the dashcam footage of the embossing incident, in which officers Louis Lozano and Eric Mitchell discussed 'potions and Pokéballs' while a Macy's store in Crenshaw was being robbed.

In the footage, one officer asks: 'Are you watching a video, or are you playing?'

'No, I'm watching a video,' the other responds.

'Oh, ok. I thought maybe you were able to live chat with whoever you were playing a game with online right now. I'm like, dang,' the first officer says, laughing.

EXCLUSIVE Addicts and Homeless Swarm Back To San Francisco Streets after Gavin Newsom's cleanup for Chinese President Xi - as locals learn to do the 'Poopie Dance' to avoid Stepping On Human Waste​

They call it 'The Poopie Dance' and San Franciscans are having to learn it – and quickly.

It involves constantly looking straight ahead to find a clean line between where you are on the street and where you want to go.

Sadly, it's the reality in parts of the Bay City as the growing homeless population have taken to using the famed streets of San Francisco as one giant open-air toilet.

'The part that's most disturbing is when you walk past two parked cars and see someone squatting.

'It's best not to confront them because you don't want to engage.'

Law Requires California Police To Use Suspect's Pronouns Upon Release Of Mugshot​

A California law taking effect Monday will include preferred pronouns with suspects' mugshots while also limiting their presence on social media.

California's AB 994 amended the current law on publishing mugshots, only allowing the mugshots of suspects with violent charges to remain on social media for two weeks. Those posted on social media should also only be posted if "the suspect is a fugitive or an imminent threat to an individual or to public safety and releasing or disseminating the suspect’s image will assist in locating or apprehending the suspect or reducing or eliminating the threat."
