AT&T will close its flagship store in downtown San Francisco, a spokesperson for the company confirmed.

The store at 1 Powell St. will close by Aug. 1, AT&T spokesperson Chris Collins told SFGATE.

“Consumer shopping habits continue to change, and we’re changing with them. That means serving customers where they are through the right mix of retail stores, digital channels and our phone-based care team,” Collins said in an emailed statement.

In other words, customers don't want to buy phone service in a neighborhood where they risk getting robbed.

Nor do companies want to do business in a city or state that allows people to take their stuff and they can't do anything about it.

After chanting defund the police/lessen judicial punishment for 3 years you are now seeing the consequences.
And they will not open their mouths about it.
They would rather be robbed to death then admit defeat.

I read of a guy arrested for 2 counts of murder.
Guess what ? He was out on ball for 2 counts of attempted murder.

Out on bail for 2 counts of attempted murder....
And then he did murder...twice.

GMA reporter admits on air that bosses advised him NOT to appear live from downtown San Francisco because it was 'too dangerous' as he reported on Westfield Mall closure

"A GMA reporter covering San Francisco's Westfield Mall closure has admitted his bosses told him not to appear live from fentanyl-ravaged downtown early in the morning because it was 'too dangerous'. "

"Chief national news correspondent Matt Gutman told viewers he had been advised against appearing live from Union Square or the mall for ABC's 4am Good Morning America segment on Thursday."

'It is worth mentioning that we are not at Union Square or the Westfield Mall this morning because we have been advised that it's simply too dangerous to be there at this hour,' he told viewers

Now that's an interesting twist......

Let's see if this reporter gets fired and we go back to "make believe" or will more reporters "come clean" ?
