Whole Foods is closing its flagship San Francisco location after a little more than a year in business due to rising crime.
Maybe now ‘Frisco’s rich, white progressives will finally pay attention to the ongoing damage done by their favored policies.
True, they’ve ignored sky-high murders and violence.
Yes, they’ve dismissed the massive human cost imposed by the “wave them in” immigration policies they love.
Those policies, executed by the Biden White House, have flooded the Bay Area with fentanyl — killing addicts, destroying their families and gnawing away at society.
That includes the infamous Tenderloin turning into an open-air drug market.
Yes, the city’s seen some sanity in recent months: Voters booted woke DA Chesa Boudin and Mayor London Breed is starting to talk some sense.
But the pro-crook, anti-cop progressive policies still have crime rising and the San Francisco Police Department in a staffing crisis to rival New York’s.
The store already reduced hours last fall over crime concerns — high levels of shoplifting and drug addicts who turned its bathrooms into shooting galleries.
Now management is fully closing it out of concerns that workers are no longer safe.
You know — those low-wage little guys progressives are supposed to be so concerned about.
Maybe now that the bien-pensants are down one location for overpriced organic greens and sustainably farmed halibut, they might finally realize that their social-justice movement has caused only social decay.
More likely, they’ll just hire more private security — or move to gated communities.
They can afford to remain invincible in their ignorance.
