Months after the controversial relocation of Civic Center’s Heart of the City Farmers Market, San Francisco will shut down the plaza’s twice-weekly “Gift Gallery” entirely. Vendors say the much-bigger Alemany Flea Market could be next.

The next victim of San Francisco budget cuts: long-running flea markets

    First - I am surprised to hear this vendor can make enough money to pay a $90 daily fee, and a profit. Good for them.

    But if the city used to have 10 vendors paying $90 a day, and only have 3-5 vendors paying $90 a day, I can understand why they don’t want to pay for the security guard anymore.

    Since the vendors in the Mission are also displaced, maybe this is a good time to create a new flea market.
