Major retailer J. Crew is announcing its departure from the once-beloved city of San Francisco as an exodus of business continues in the crime-stricken city riddled with open-air drug use.

An employee at the retailer said that the store located at Centre Mall will be closing later this month, according to NBC Bay Area.


This store is among the many businesses that have fled the former crown jewel of the West Coast, citing rising crime, lack of police enforcement, open-air drug use, and repeated attacks and thefts from homeless vagrants and emboldened criminals.

In June, San Francisco's iconic Westfield Mall announced that they were bailing on the city.

Well, that just means more room for crackheads and squatters.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
