This video broke my heart. I know those neighborhoods and it’s sad. Downtown is so sad to go to. I worked in the financial district for over 25 years and after the pandemic it’s a ghost town. And the homeless situation is ghastly. I used to got to a big lots on mission street that closed because of shoplifters who just grabbed stuff and walked out. I now feel strongly they need to repeal the $900 of value threshold to prosecute shoplifters.
