look at the positive side - store owners and shoppers don't need to worry about crime
You can thank the Biden supporters for massive crimes.
exactly
This is so sad. Who would've guessed enabling criminals would lead to stores closing?
Fake news by the GOP to makes us look bad , Vote Blue were tough on crime #NEWSOME2024
not the idiot mayor breed and newsom
@@copyprint-fz2hbNBC BAY AREA NEWS IS NOT FAKE NEWS!!!!!
Mayor GREED have done FANTASTIC job for SF. 90% Retail stores have closed.
And she and pathetic criminal lover has criticizing Asian rapper is freaking joke.

I'm confused. London Breed says that SF is thriving.
With crime, lol.
@@jaychong12And Homeless, and feces intrenched sidewalks, and illegal border bum rushers...
Just need to invite Xi back once a week.
We need to turn those two malls into jails, with a court that then sends convicts to prison.
Send the mayor and the da first
OH YOU SHUT UP, JOHNNY THE TRUMPSTER FREAK AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TURNING SAN FRANCISCO CENTRE INTO JAILS AND A COURT THAT THEN SENDS CONVICTS TO PRISON!!!!!
Send convicts to help ukraine fight instead of the billions of dollars
good idea i giant downtown JAIL!!!!!!! we don't need shops anymore we need PRISONS!!!!!
No bro. Haven't you seen the news? They want to turn the space into biotech, or college campus. Besides, criminals don't go to jail nowadays.
I think revitalizing the Mall into a Homeless Shelter or Safe Drug Injection Site would be a good transition in the rebranding that San Francisco has been working on!
lol, it's funny you say that because as I was watching this I was thinking "I bet the city would love to turn this into homeless shelters/housing for people having crisis". Because anytime they've done that in the past it almost instantly ruins the surrounding area and brings crime, trash, chaos, etc. Living on the same block as 2 homeless hotels, a navigation center and 2 assisted housing/low income housing facilities, I can personally attest for the deterioration they cause. Many of us just miss feeling safe.
drug addicts and and homeless are so yesterday....illegals is where the real grift is now......sf is asleep at the wheel while ny and chicago are getting all of those most favored desirables
And send the bill to J.Crew and Adidas and other former tenants and tell them it’s their obligation
nah man, the mall will close down soon. its rundown
Equality Equity Inclusion not working out too well for SF?
San Francisco is like a third world country personal wouldn’t set foot in that city
Santana Row is great, free parking, no homeless, don’t worry about car being broken into. 45 minutes south of SF.
Might not want to shill out good locale. You already know crooks will follow you home in SF
Black mayor black police chief black D.A san francisco is the next Chicago city
this is like an apocalypse movie in real life.
Buckle up butter cup it's going to get worse and that's karma. Lol
Wow! We will lose everything
Pathetic mayor and her NAACP president denying crime in SA and criticizing Asian rapper is so pathetic. Every criminal haters should write a letter to their family members of Mayor and her supporters.
Get Woke
Go Broke!
NBC Bay Area. Your journalism here is devoid of content. Did you edit out the real reason the stores are leaving? We all know what it is, you don't need to pretend like that lady you interviewed (or maybe just severely edited) that this is an opportunity to diversify. The area is dying from the crime and rampant drug use.
God forbid they actually report the TRUTH!!!
@@TomSmith-ls5rn I'll judge each story independently and when they start doing their job, I'll post a positive comment. (And I do occasionally, ABC7 News has had some good stories where they interview the people affected by the crime and don't edit out or distort what they are saying).
Recently ABC7 News sent a reporter to watch the new BART gates and just reported what they saw. I appreciate that kind of reporting.
This story by NBC was drivel.
@@alansnyder8448 Spot on. I'm sure they all bow to political pressure, and I too saw the BART piece. That one was at least accurate and objective.
pooptown is done
Too much crimes. That's the problem.
Fake news by the GOP to makes us look bad , Vote Blue were tough on crime #NEWSOME2024
Sure, it's not too dark?
I'm so happy I got to experience the Bay Area twenty years ago before democrats completely destroyed it.
@@InPinkClover more like moderate TALKING deomcrats that will do more of the same and come up with new grifts to pay off their NGO friends with
I remember those days! You could walk everywhere (everywhere!) and have a nice time, people weren’t looking at you like you were an opportunity, you know? I was seeing homeless addicts sleeping in doorways by the Stinking Rose, and that was shocking for the time. Now I’m sad to say it’s every big blue city. I cannot see things improving I’m sorry to say. Human beings are falling into Neanderthal behavior and thought patterns. Laws only work if they are enforced. How long do you think it will be before martial law gets declared and we law-abiding folk get thrown under the bus for real?
And nothing from the elected officials.
You have to be NUTS 🥜 to have stores in SF
Get Woke
Go Broke!
Enjoy!
I know I am!
Abby: If you have to be nakedly dishonest for the reason business is leaving San Francisco, don't bother being interviewed. The rampant homelessness, crime, high prices, and ridiculous tourism fees being charged for such an underwhelming experience is the problem. The current Board of Supervisors are tone deaf and out of touch operating as if the San Francisco Bay Area is still the epicenter of the technology boom.
Her hand gestures lol😂
Don't you know since the 1960s they always find some idiot standing by that will agree to whatever stupid topic they're talking about it's usually admitting to being frightened or scared
Malls have long been on the decline, empty offices are part of the loss of traffic however, how many people go shopping right from work? Crime is the number one issue as without crime, the stores could remain open.
@@bobroberts2371I live 45 minutes from San Francisco and almost all the shops are present in my city within walking distance. You can buy a Rolex at the jewelry store and not get accosted.
We are seeing more foot traffic in my city as this area is clean, luxurious, and not piled up with the homeless doing drugs on the street.
Fix the homeless, drug, and crime issues OR there will never be a renaissance in San Francisco for another 10-15 years.
This is why San Fran can't have nice things...
Packed back then. Ghost town now.
Keep voting progressive. I love it.
After all the businesses leave, crimes will go down.
No, they'll just steal from each other more often
Bravo! Leave and don't ever come back! Businesses big or small deserve better than paying taxes to local municipalities and get next to nothing in support!
It is so sad that those criminals did not receive proper education from their parents and grandparents as to how to grow up to be good citizens. If all parents in Oakland and San Francisco TAUGHT their children properly, they would not become criminals. I blame the parents and grandparents more than I blame the government.
Meanwhile Sonestown and Serramonte are bursting at the seams. The crime and anti car policy is sure making things great.
It's spelled Stonestown, stupoid.
“Reimagine” - Mayor London Breed
I thought the mall overall was closing
J crew hasnt been relevant since Ross was with Rachel
What never would have expected such a thing! Wonder Why? Type in answer will be Banned from commenting on TH-cam! Comeback ? Yea hold your breath. Blame in the pandemic again!
They are coming to San Leandro .
San Leandro dont have money to maintain this chain... you all shop RACK
they being stores or they being criminals and drug addicts
For those people saying it’s the economy, that’s a bullsht lie. I get it, the wallet is tight right now, and many people shop online.
But here in the Boston area, stores, shops, and malls are thriving! It’s not the same as what I’m used to back home in the bay. With crime rates back home, you don’t wanna deal with possibles shootouts driving on 80 or 101 or even just going to the grocery store. It’s drama. People can’t act right!
I do miss home but seeing everything closing and get locked up behind plexiglass is just sad.
This goes well with the broke income housing being built on treasure island.
I feel bad for the employees.
They are probably Democrats too. lol
Greed and apathy played well into the mall and surrounding areas downfall. The city charges $6-$8/hour for public parking and ignorantly tells the public to take BART and Muni which makes no sense when you're purchasing large box and multiple items that paints a target on your back when taking public transportation. The sheer laziness and political agenda against vehicles is another thing too. There has been everything to support Muni and bicyclists, but NOTHING to support drivers and maintaining the road. There are potholes left and right everywhere downtown, Hunter's Point, Tenderloin, and many other areas. A second bridge is desperately needed between the Bay Bridge and San Mateo Bridge to offset the traffic going to the Bay Bridge that spends zero dollars in the city.
If the city wants people to come and spend money, they need to make an effort to give people a reason to come and spend money. People want to go to quality stores and venues, not walk through a place that looks like a 3rd world country.
When they shut down Market street to cars, that was a massive blow to businesses downtown. It was all downhill from there.
@@lyndsay4153 As someone who’s politics lean left, the extreme left has moved in, creeped into SF leadership and taken over the city with absolute nonsense. The same thing that happened to Market St. is happening to Valencia. Closing down streets hurt businesses because if you can’t see for yourself what’s there when you’re driving by, you won’t be curious to stop and go inside. This dumb war on vehicles needs to stop. Every time public transportation’s ineptitude is threaten, bridge toll fares and public parking are always targeted to subsidizing their shortfall and 6 figure salaries they don’t deserve
Your bridge idea is interesting. Apparently there's an old idea called the "Southern Crossing" proposal and there's been a number of versions since the 1940s. One was from Potrero Point to Alameda. There's a wikipedia article about it.
But why was everything so easy when China came to gloat?
Cancel the law where criminals steal under an amount don’t get charged then your crime will go down an maybe San Francisco can be saved as other cities statewide
No worries - London Breed said they can turn that into low-cost housing too.
CRIME CRIME CRIME!!!

Valley fair is absolutely thriving!!! This is about crime. San Francisco needs the national guard.
Hey TH-cam censorship!
I said:

Why do you censor THAT?
they are getting worse than yahoo comments.....they must be really worried about the jomentia election and a lot of other lib/dims
ADDY YOU ARE WRONG. i worked on downtown sf and near that mall. none of my co workers ever bought anything in that mall because it was just expensive. that mall and the surrounding shops are mainly for tourists. It is the rising crime and lack of tourists that killing that mall. the did have a decent food court
Shoplifters made cost high in products and Democrats love to raise property tax and criminals. They just don't want their political supporters in jail, lol.
When your a progressive politician, you promise a lot and deliver nothing, works every time.
Defund the police and vote Democrat
lol
that is our only hope!
Property taxes make it too expensive for ordinary businesses to operate to pay fir needed policing. And so you get this. I remember when Borders was in Union Square, along with the last Thriftys and some others. They couldn't make enough money to pay the taxes nor the leases, and could not apprehend shoplifters. So they left. I would too, and haven't seriously shopped in SF for over ten years.
wait that happened at Borders wow and where was the Thriftys isn't it just car rental?
@@thatwastakenagain Borders folded some years back ... lots of reasons, but I can't recall one single reason for them going under. Thrifty's, Wolworth's, I. Magnin and J. Magnin (though I never shopped there, some family did). A few others. FOA Schwarts, that high end toy story used to be there, SF Just attracted a lot of scum for some reason and it just became too expensive to do business there.
GO WOKE GO BROKE
As a former San Franciscan, you voted blue and have no clue.
Who shops there?
joe momma
I actually worked in a start-up very close to the mall in 2016. It was a nice area back then. This should be a lesson on how much left-wing progressives can screw up something nice. Turning it into a Venezuela it is so screwed up with drugs, shoplifting, and govt corruption.
well who shops anywhere in a place where under $950 per visit is "free"
Didn’t even know that j crew is still in business.
Good!
Girl ain’t nobody shopping at j crew lol

Why don't stores only sell in drive mode?
Pretty good, one less spot for the homeless and drug addicts, when all the stores closed, the downtown Will be safe to walk around.
Plot twist: that dude got robbed on 6th and Market.
Same results in Chicago..
Looks like that $6mil tourist ad isnt working in fact its doing the complete opposite
Where will the criminals steal from once all the stores close?
Who is the Mayor?
his name is landon breed

Had nothing to do with office occupancy. The mall is empty even on weekends
Can always use the space to house migrants from Central America though
Turn those empty spaces into temporary police and DEA hubs.
Come one malls die and they all do a comeback just in a different area that’s been happening here in Houston some have die and some reinvent themselves.
This will save the company a ton of money$....

That definitely means rich white people are leaving SF…

Gray poupon, but of course!
Maybe turn it into migrant housing or an open drug market.
J Crew is opening a new store in Fresno.

They're gonna be selling a whole lot of empty shelf space. Eventually, these malls will be used to house people who cross into the U.S. illegally ...at Taxpayer expense, of course.
where will i get my child labor clothing at now oh no😮
How about them Cowboys. LOL

This is what happens when you are soft on crime
London Breed is falling down, falling down, falling down…….
Migrant housing sounds good to me.
