Podjetja množično zapuščajo s kriminalom prežet San Francisco

Pred dnevi se je urad županje San Francisca kritično odzval na prispevek oddaje Good Morning America, v katerem so San Francisco označili za prenevaren za snemanje. A dejstvo je, da je to kalifornijsko mesto v zadnjem času pridobilo zelo slab sloves.

For several years, large chains and small businesses alike have been leaving San Francisco, either closing permanently or relocating operations outside the city. In the case of small businesses, some have left the area entirely, moving out of state or to other areas in the state. For the last few years, for example, Walgreens has closed more and more stores in the city due to the massive amount of crime happening within it’s stores. Higher-end stores have also cited break-ins and crime as major reasons for leaving. And just last month, Amazon announced that all their Amazon Go stores in the city would be closing as well.

While high costs from rent and other factors was listed as a primary reason, a lack of customers visiting the stores due to many avoiding crime in the Downtown area was also a factor in the decision, tying in crime once again.

“A growing number of retailers and businesses are leaving the area due to the unsafe conditions for customers, retailers, and employees, coupled with the fact that these significant issues are preventing an economic recovery of the area,” the mall said.

Nordstrom is closing both of its stores in downtown San Francisco, citing the changing “dynamics” of the area that hasn’t recovered since the pandemic and has been in the spotlight for crime. “Decisions like this are never easy, and this one has been especially difficult,” wrote Jamie Nordstrom, Nordstrom’s chief stores officer, in a memo obtained by CNN. “But as many of you know, the dynamics of the downtown San Francisco market have changed dramatically over the past several years, impacting customer foot traffic to our stores and our ability to operate successfully.”

There are several other reasons that may have contributed to the Nordstrom locations’ closures besides crime. For starters, remote work following the pandemic has caused a decrease in foot traffic in major US downtowns, including San Francisco. Malls have also been fading in popularity with shoppers as they shift their allegiance online.
