It has been widely reported over the last year that numerous retail outlets have fled the city of San Francisco due to ongoing issues of crime, open drug use, and homelessness.
Now that it’s the Christmas season, the consequences of all this can be plainly seen.
The Crocker Galleria mall in San Francisco is fully decorated for Christmas and it is also empty. At a time when you would think the mall would be full of shoppers getting ready for the holiday, it looks more like a ghost town.
Take a look at the video below, it’s a little surreal.
Look at all of these beautiful Christmas decorations at the Crocker Galleria mall in San Francisco. It’s 4:47 PM and everybody should be shopping and buying Christmas presents for their family, but nobody is in this mall.
There are only three stores left that are open here.… pic.twitter.com/SvkAK2ImYK

People on Twitter/X responded to the video:
This is a travesty. My wife and I were there about 7 years ago, and the stores were drying up then. We had hope things would turn around if Trump was able to win in 2020. San Francisco, the Paris of the West is dead.

We used to go there every year to Christmas shop. Our last trip was 2021. It was a disaster. Drug addicts everywhere. Haven’t been back since

Is Gavin Newsom to blame for this? At least partially.
This is what Gavin Newsom let happen to California’s economy.
Who votes for this loser?
Look what he has done.
The crazy thing is, it will continue to happen as long as he’s in office. And it will continue to happen if Kamal Harris becomes governor like Dems want.♀️

The decline of a beautiful Christmas season thanks to Gavin Newsome and the corrupt Dems.

How terrible for those employees who decorate that place knowing almost no one will see it or appreciate it. What a waste and what a huge loss for SF

The people of California need to do something different in the future unless they want more of this.
