You act like they pull out all over.  Yeah they leave the ghetto/shitty parts of town.  You act like that’s an indictment on the whole city.  And you’re not stupid.  I‘m sure you’ve sat on boards before.  If you can blame poor financial performance on something you can’t control of course you’ll do that.

visit downtown SF and report back

I’ve been to downtown SF, while working for a retail company with space there actually.

Again, you realize you are posting on the internet right? What’s the last retail store you walked into?

Amazing how many scared suburb and rural people are so worried about the cities full of people they hate.  LOL

I spend plenty of time in major cities all over 

Downtown Chicago is doing light years better than west coast downtowns

What do you think causes lower foot traffic in retail stores?

A combination of online retail, WFH stickiness, closure of DT retail, and crime increases 

 

crime increases aren’t a trivial portion of that combination. 
 

WC downtowns are basically in a negative feedback loop.  Commercial RE in those areas is proper fucked

Crime has zero to do with decreases in foot traffic for retail stores.

I haven’t been to a non-food/alcohol store in months 

But I bet retail type goods still show up at your house every once in a while. It’s the crime keeping you home right? Lol

Sure, but the narrative is all the same.  A bunch of people who don’t care about cities, or the people in them, act like they give a shit because their own house is a hot mess.  The R party is a total shitshow so rather then look within and try to fix shit, what do you do?  


Some pearl clutching about how you suddenly care about the poor people of SF.
And again, nobody is saying there’s no issues.  It’s just you acting like you give a shit about those people.

That’s true. We all easily assume too much and often not with positive intent. With that said, it’s clear what the progressive leaning posters here do care about. How about you?

I care about the opportunity for downtown business owners(often minorities/immigrants) to be able to pursue a better life for their families without getting burglarized 3 times in a month.

Why steal a handful of items from the minority-immigrant owners of these stores?  When you can now walk in as Texas HB4 Law Enforcement, demand exhaustive documentation, execute immediate and categorical deportation, and steal the entire business?  

The problem with YOU PEOPLE is that think too small.  BLM broke a window and stole some sundries.  What happens next is GOP steals the entire block.

Yes anyone who constantly uses ‘lefty’ definitely has a soft spot for the citizens of west coast cities like Portland and SF.  😂

I love that you’re still convinced that theft is the cause of retail store closures in big cities lol.

If I knew there was anything other than a microscopic chance a flash mob would occur at the department store I need something from, I would look forward to it because that would mean free shit parade for myself. Thus It would increase the likelihood of me visiting in person.

Incred,

No one here gives a shit if billion dollar global countries lose a little money.  

We're far more concerned about white nationalists helping to destroy our democracy.  

Stick to the big issues and you'll be fine.

We have retail packages arrive weekly. 

No crime is keeping me out of retail stores. People suck. I try to avoid the masses.

I have zero moral hangups stealing from big box retail companies. Please put it on the record

I don't think incredulity thinks the election was stollen or anything like that.  He just believes all the right wing tropes about lazy welfare queens and minorities hurting America.

Posted

I certainly don’t like to see things stolen and shit being broken from dumbasses during a protest/riot, but as I get older I progressively give fewer shits about big companies.  

PPP loan fraud, stock buybacks, frequent flyer/hotel loyalty systems being constantly degraded, blanket policies forcing us back to office despite poor facilities, 2008 bank crisis, etc.  

They have a right to make money, but pardon me if I fail to cry a river for automakers fighting pay raises after obscene exec pay and buybacks after our tax dollars bailed them out.
