San Francisco is failing. Due to progressive policies (soft-on-crime DAs, open-air drug use, Defund the Police movement, Prop 47, etc.) many businesses have shutdown their stores in San Francisco.
Now goes another:
The North Face is closing its only store in its hometown of San Francisco that’s situated in dying downtown area
From Daily Mail:
“San Francisco shoppers receive another shocking blow as another major retailer is all set to move away from the crime and drug ridden city.
The North Face officials have announced that they will be closing the doors of their Union Square store on March 31. Although the rock climbing and camping supply company was founded back in 1964 in this city, the Union Square store is the only location to exist.
Hailey Albright, a spokesperson for the company said in a statement: ‘The North Face was born in San Francisco, and we have cherished the time spent here, building roots and creating lasting memories.’
The retailer has not provided a clear reason for the closure of the 180 Post Street store.”

No “clear reason” is required on behalf of The North Face.
Earlier this week voters in San Francisco passed two ballot measures to take steps to curb homelessness, drug addiction and crime. The initiatives require drug screening for welfare recipients and give police more surveillance power and less oversight
But it may be too little, too late. After 60 years of democrat rule, it will probably take DECADES to undue the damage progressive polices have created for that city. Y’all learn too late:
