The owner of luxury San Francisco retailer Gump's warned that this holiday season "may be our last."

John Chachas attributed this to rising crime, homelessness, drug use, and remote work.

He said San Francisco is "unlivable for its residents, unsafe for our employees, and unwelcoming to visitors."

The owner of an upmarket San Francisco retailer that first opened in 1861 has warned that rising crime and homelessness in the city means this could be its last year operating.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
