Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and Saks Off Fifth of SF throwing in the towel
[PJ] Soon there will be three fewer department stores for looters to pick clean in San Francisco.

Nordstrom, Nordstrom Rack, and Saks Off Fifth are all bailing out of what used to be a safer and more vibrant city. Nordstrom cites "rampant criminal activity" and blight as the chief reasons it’s pulling up stakes.

As we’ve reported, Whole Foods closed a key store recently in what used to be a lovely area before drug-addled "homeless" people and "organized retail theft" gangsters began stealing the merchandise. The city "leaders" chose not to enforce laws against tent-dwelling, fentanyl zombies, and crackheads. As a result, the people who are not tent-dwelling fentanyl zombies and crackheads decided to follow the employers and leave. This is what we call a market tell.

When Walgreens closed five stores, Mayor London Breed claimed the retailer did it only to cut costs. It was true. Walgreens got tired of — together now — tent-dwelling fentanyl zombies, crackheads, and organized retail theft gangs stealing its stuff. The pharmacy and all-purpose store had to spend fifty times more on security for its San Francisco stores than its others. Security staff could only wave at thieves as they walked out with $950 worth of stuff.

#8 My prediction is that the stores will begin to have to pull out of Emeryville, Fremont and eventually Walnut Creek as well. Copperopolis ought to be safe.
