It’s not the governments job to enable businesses, they already do that with tax breaks, corporate subsidies and passing laws that favor them
That is the job of the government. We pay taxes and they provide services. If they can’t keep the city orderly, business won’t do business there.
My priorities are not twisted. I won’t go to a store where people a shitting in front of it. Call me old school but I will spend my dollars somewhere else.
as such that store will close down.
This is what happens when you defund the police and allow the city to turn into a shit hole.
On market street was the old navy flagship store. Old Navy is based out of San Francisco. They couldn’t even keep that open due to the lawlessness.
In Portland they are having similar issues. Nike has to close their store because of crime.
Now it’s the police’s fault? I’m pretty sure you’re just constructing this narrative as you go.
No, it’s not their fault. They are acting under the guidance of the city council. They didn’t ask to be defunded and allow crime to go rampant. Some of my friends are SF officers and they are livid over what has happened to the city.
I find myself in Portland frequently for work and can tell you firsthand, it’s wayyyyyy better crime-wise than many cities in the US.
Look at my name. I am in Portland a couple of times a week to almost daily. The crime us rampant and the homeless population has exploded.
I expect once drugs are criminalized, we will see order restored fairly quickly.

If the city didn’t allow crime on the level to force the business out, the business would not leave.
It is weird you blame the corporation for not wanting their employees to be harmed at work.
Yes, it is authoritarian to force a company to do the job the government should be doing. This would never hold up in court.

Who said anything about supplying the food? It is their job to create an environment where business want to do business.
