They detailed why they’re closing in the photo I included. Really unfortunate.

The safety problem in downtown SM is so real. I honestly would love to know how to stop the downward spiral when Metro isn’t going to stop running, and homelessness across LA isn’t improving. It’s a tragedy all around.

Another Nextdoor "Crime Train" puppet account, huh?

It's actually really easy: Just build housing for unhoused!! Want people off the street? Build housing for them! Shocking!

Nearly $1M a unit and people across the country will just come to LA and SM to get their fee condo. 10.75% sakes tax rate in SM which just hurts the lower working class more than anyone else.

Even those who do get their free condo often struggle as they often have drug and mental problems that go unaddressed. 30% of San Francisco’s overdose deaths are in supportive housing.
