...Target’s recent store closures in New York, San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle and Portland may be due more to the underperformance of Target’s smaller store locations. Local crime statistics also raise questions about Target’s rationale.
One analysis by journalist Judd Legum at Popular Information found that the stores Target is closing in both New York and San Francisco had lower reported theft rates compared to other nearby locations.
And if retail theft were a smoke screen to hide/offset other issues why then are there so many empty stores in the prime downtown area of S.F? New leases could reflect the loss of foot traffic so this shouldn't be an issue.
Yet, at Powell Street station where the cable car turns around there are almost nothing but empty stores. Why?
When you teach young people they are owed something because of their race...
This is the logical outcome.
Duhhhhhhhh.
When you enslave, marginalize, enact racist laws against a race, police said race differently which incarcerates their fathers at a higher rate, and the race now acts out, this is the logical outcome.
Duhhhhhhhh.
Well, that's no different from where I live in (85205.) Very little is locked away.
Are you suggesting such items are being stolen because people can't afford them?
Or they are being stolen and sold to a fence because it's a way to earn money and help put food on the table?
For now, it's plain old criminal acts of theft
In the very near future (within my millenial lifetime), even necessities such as milk and bread will be stolen and rampant because we're going to be a third world country.

We have some of the highest crime in a high crime state. Punishment is severe. Policing is aggressive. Running a red light or having a taillight out are prosecuted as misdemeanors, not traffic infractions, in this county, and punishable by thirty days in jail.
Want to live in a county where an innocent taillight or headlight issues results in a month of jail?
I don't know about your county, but I'd rather live in the Knoxville metro, the Chattanooga metro, or the Nashville metro than live in the SF Bay Area again, and I'm a 5th generation SF Bay Area native who lived there in two different periods for a total of over 40 years.

The SF I knew growing up of course no longer exits but I remember the Mission distrist when it was clean. I often went to the Grand theater as a child. My father used to take me crab fishing off the piers at Fisherman’s wharf. Toss out a net with bait and thirty minutes later it was filled with crabs. You take out the biggest and toss the rest back. I remember the Vietnam war protests, the hippies. The Zodiac killer and Patty Hearst.

Humm...

Some nations can find collective success as a single homogenous people like Japan or Switzerland.
Or equally, but with more difficulty, nations can prosper with heterodox peoples -- but only if united by a single, inclusive culture as the American melting-pot once attested.
But a baleful third option -- a multicultural society of diverse, unassimilated, and often rival tribes -- historically is a prescription for collective suicide.
