Why is this shocking? You have crime with no penalty, you have no stores!
It really doesn't take a genius.
That is a bold faced lie. But what do you expect from a tRumpsucker, right??
@@Bearfacts01 I feel bad for IKEA if they're opening down the block from where Nordstrom used to be! They're going to find out soon enough what bad Democratic policies regarding shoplifting is gonna cost them! Betcha they won't last a year there!!
People get what they vote for. Get woke, go broke! 😂
@@dankelly5150 What do these snatch and grab shop lifters want to steal from an IKEA?
The story tries to blame the economy but the Nordstrom Rack store is also closing. Rampant crime and theft is to blame.
Also that the surrounding area is, like, Homeless Central: You’ve got junkies walking around, accosting the tourists, or just being mired in their own filth & misery. Why would anyone want to be around there? I’d imagine that tourism in this area has taken a hit lately, as the tourists have wised-up to the realities of that area.
I live 5 minutes from this location , the place is always a mess and people steal like there is no tomorrow. The sad fact is that the store is always packed with people, kinda surprised they are closing it
When a once great city like San Francisco breaks down into a land of homeless tents, property crime and shoplifting yet does nothing about it, this is what you get. Elon Musk was correct is saying the place looks like the set of a post-apocalyptic movie
Lol y’all ain’t finna have nothing in that chity
@@brunocardona6283 u sound like u from shitrack ha I mean chirack😂
There isn't more to the story. Stop lying to us. We all know exactly why everyone is leaving
There's an upscale mall where I live in PA with a Nordstrom...there's nobody ever shopping there anymore.....butr there's a Nordstrom rack in a plaza across the road...always filled with shoppers...the high end dept stores are a dying trend in today's economy
Inflation is hurting everyone!
LaQuenton & Desiree have to hit Nordstrom several times a week now to cover their pharmaceutical bills.
Exactly 😂💯 haha
@@guyz7777 Yeah, there is rampant theft, drug use and vagrancy everywhere thanks to nutty democrat policies.
Exactly. Rich people will spend money recession or not.
San Francisco is going downhill really really fast.
The woke leadership is destroying us...
It’s not just San Fran. All democrat cities are exploding
Same city that says it should pay billions in reparations and that says its ok to have kid attend drag shows...
San Francisco is just fine. It’s just resetting itself. Come back in 5 years.
@@californiamade5608 no way coming back to SF. Yuk!
Nothing shocking about it. The city is collapsing. All stores are closing.
You are correct.
All democrat cities are collapsing 😮
Amazing it’s about time for UBI
Lmao "shocking" 🤣
@@Nutrollio interested. Which other cities? NYC and Austin seem to be just fine?
Good move on Ikea. Shoplifters are not willing to put that stuff together, nor can they resell it.
But they can get up to $995 worth of furniture free in SF... I think they will visit.
They will look at the white boxes of Kallax, Skruvby and Tullstorps and move on to some other place.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment of the night 🏆😅
Omg favorite comment. Perfectly said 😂😂
It is tough to do business in San Francisco these days due to brazen theft with fear of employees safety all over the city.
It’s not just San Francisco , LA, New York , all major democrat cities if you own a business you should fold up and move to the burbs in a red state.
Crime and closing Mkt St to cars doesn't help.
And most of these crimes are probably unreported, thus creating the delusion that crime rates haven’t risen that much
@@max420thc Except it is not in new york. Warm areas tend to have the bigger problems with homeless. It is disingenuous to ignore climate when acting like a city is solely responsible for being inundated.
Go back to truth social with your conspiracies. There is no solution unless you criminalize being homeless which will never hold up in the courts. You cannot criminalize existing. The biggest tell is when a critic just criticizes and offers zero solutions. If you can't offer real viable solutions, then you would be overrun exactly the same if your location was desirable for homeless people year round.
@@cosmokwong1262 I doubt cars buy anything.
That’s what happens when a city decriminalizes shoplifting and lets “shoppers” walk out of stores with just under $950 in unpaid merchandise.
It's not the city. it's the statewide voted prop 47. I wish there's a way to reverse it. I, too, voted for it and couldn't be more wrong.
🥺
@@carolchennning9188 what exactly was written on the voting ballot??? Did it literally say theft under $950 is legal?
@@jonasbaine3538 it says under 950 dollars is not a felony but a misdemeanor
@@carolchennning9188goodness why would you vote on that
That’s weird. I see so many people walking around downtown with shopping carts overflowing.
Those carts are upper Ghetto class fashion accessories.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃❤
That's because they are the one looting.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Gee, who thought that letting criminals run wild to steal everything not nailed down and attack employees would have an impact on the store’s bottom line?
"when eggs cost too much, people will buy something different"... like what? Dog food? What is below eggs? Has everyone lost their minds in that city? Seriously.
Mcdonald's is below eggs
Eat grass
They gotta come up with some way to deflect.
Plastic easter eggs.
That sucks. That Nordstrom was like half the Westfield Mall ....
The other half will close soon enough. Saks Fifth will be next and then Macys. The City has fallen. Hilarious that it happened on SF’s own son Gavin Newsome and that horror of a mayor!
And Ikea will last a year at most.
The woke leadership is destroying us.
Criminals over tax-payers!
Great business model.
Yeah but people keep robbing it. I don't blame them for closing.
Just let the homeless set up tents in the closed stores and let them plant fentanyl trees.
Fentanyl trees ! The ONLY funny comment about fentanyl that I have EVER heard. Takes talent, to come up with something humorous to type about fentanyl. Thank you and congratulations.
Great suggestion LOL
or have city officials use them as harm reduction sites. Cuz....that's gonna get the drug addiction under control!
That was funny as he$ll.
That's what the DA said.
It’s so unreal seeing what’s happening to San Fran. It used to be a place of magic and dreams. Now it’s a drug infested junkie led nightmare
only difference is the techies.
You voted for it have fun...😊 ask Newscum..your governor..why? Lol
If it werent for all that MAGA, things would be different!
@@stevefink6000 when i was a kid artists and poets could still afford sf, it was the cia coopting the high industry that moved in the foriegn land lords and million dollar small single family homes. been going on 40 years.
That store opened when the SF Center opened in 1987. It was amazing, with a British Pub inside to quell the dudes while wives shopped. The Emporium was still around, as was its rooftop garden with kiddie rides. Unlike anything else in SF. The City has become unsustainable.
Good call. I moved there in 1990 and had my very first Anchor Christmas Alê there along with my first order of ‘bangers and mash’. I would repeat every Christmas season until they transitioned the pub into men’s clothing. Nice to know someone else remembers it.
Ahh yes when it was a red state…
I remember when Westfield opened. No one had seen circular escalators. I lined up with everyone else during my lunch hour to take a ride. Now those were exciting days! And it was a treat to eat at Ns restaurant.
Remember visiting that store my first year of college. To me a then poor college student, it felt magical and I aspired to be able to one day afford the goods they sold.
Yup! Those were the days, not to be seen ever again. We would go up there on Black Friday arrive early in the morning, one year we took out 2 little ones with us, one was 2 year old and the other a one 1 year old, we would start the day with Breakfast at the Restaurant at Nordstroms watching all the business going on, on market street, then up to the roof top of Emporiums for some fun with the kids then over to Macys to rub elbows with the crowds down in the Basement from there to UNION Square for short break making ready for the push up Powell street, yes we did that with 2 strollers with babies bags and back packs hanging all over the place, we were having a blast going up that hill, a few people offered to help, but it was thank you but no thank you, we were JUST HAVING A BLAST! We were not going to let anybody take our fun away, people basically thought we were nuts, then we took a detour to China town for some lunch from there straight to Fisherman's Warf, we kick it around there for awhile then we had a dinner at Swiss Louie's on Pier 39, then it was time make ready to head back to Market street, but since we were there we also had to grab a hot dog after that we caught a cable car right about Mid Night, the Brake man gave us a hand loading up our stuff then back to Market Street we went, the cable car driver took it nice and slow for us trying to keep it as quiet as possible, the brake man was talking to us and asked us how long have we been pushing these strollers, we replied we started at about 9:00 am. he then did the math and said Oh Lordy you've been out there for about 15 hours with 2 little ones, you both deserve a medal! From there back to San Jose we went, and yes the kids were knocked out solid.
The down side of this trip was watching a Bank robbery stand off at the Bank across the street while we were have Breakfast at Nordstroms.
Downtown is going to be a ghost town soon.
True ://
Living here for 2 years, right next at the corner, 2 blocks away from Nordstrom, I don’t blame them - it’s crazy here with zombies everywhere on the street and people thinking they can steal with no consequences… sad and annoying but what you gonna do. Thank you, Mayer! Thank you, VP! For the fantastic soft on crime politics. Thank you the so called progressive people for your support! 😂
Ps, got approached by attacked by one of the zombies today when crossing the 3rd street and mission cross section… it’s getting depressing…
So depressing I would leave. I don't have to live like that.
@@Bearfacts01 I have to- my wife works around this area …
The city was in much better shape before 2010 - not sure if there’s effect from CA prop 47 and all the so called progressive movements
I was in Macy's last month at fragrance counter. A woman came in and began gathering up all the fragrance bottles. She terrorized the clerks. I will never shop there again!
I live down the street and have lived in this City my whole life. Nordstrom‘s never blamed theft as the reason they are leaving. They blamed lack of foot traffic. Malls and stores all over the country close. They close, because no one goes to them. If you were to go to the stores you will see more employees than customers. That is not sustainable. If you want downtown stores to remain open, go back to work.
Criminals over tax-payers!
Great business model.
It's the Democrat way!!
Every time I visited Nordstrom in SF they either didnt have anything interesting or they didnt have anything in my size. Both myself and my wife were only buying online due to the frustration of traveling into the city and never finding a size that fits. I'm sure the crime and branding of SF is also a problem for them.
A shoplifter that threatened to stab a security guard in Walgreens was killed yesterday in self defense. Today there is a 30 person protest outside the Walgreens in support of the violent shoplifter. Says it all really about how much the culture in the area has declined.
Da isn’t charging the guard. They had video of the confrontation. Shoplifter was extremely violent.
The woke: "The beatings will continue until the morale improves."
Yes I believe it. People are so skewed now because the powers that be gave in during the summer of love in Seattle. Standing up for a violent shoplifter
@@katemiller7874 they can all shop at the new discounted junk wear
Try losing some weight?
ikea is the perfect store to replace nordstrom with - lots of cheap heavy junk nobody would want to steal - and its like a maze the kriminals couldn't get out
They'll just burn it down and call it a "Rib Fest."
😃😃😃😃😃😃❤❤😃😃❤❤❤❤❤
Nah we should have SCP Infinite Ikea where they can't get out until they're inspected to not steal anything XD
🤣🤣 Wishful thinking.
Anything they can't steal they set on fire.
01:30 "while closing stores, Nordstrom is opening discount rack stores including one in Pinole"
*ONLY 22 miles AWAY* from San Francisco. _(Great job city management, keep inviting the homeless and drug addicts 👍👍)_
I haven’t seen any homeless people in the Pinole. I work in that area
Pinole is really nice but all the way out there. horrible traffic to anywhere. no public transportation.
@@carolchennning9188 That lack of public transportation helps to keep out the scum.
Shocking I tell you. What could it possibly be? Certainly not a city in complete collapse due to easy on crime policy.
Crime is the liberal policy, it's how they get to launder big money, by shifting the focus on street crime.
This warms my heart; voters getting exactly what they voted for. 😊
My thoughts exactly 🥰
My city is about to vote the same regulations. I hope the vote fails. I dont want this.
I love the comment from the HW guy: "we want to get back to 2019 numbers". Why was 2019 such a good year? hmmmmm
Keep voting the way you do, SF.
bozos who think there is a difference between the war for profit party and the militarized police state party arent paying attention.
They won't learn, they'll just move to another city and turn that into cesspool.
@@COlson-rh3dg Agreed.
Not the vote that counts but who does the counting
SF is going south and not turning back. thanks to the excellent leadership mayor London Breed.
Not shocking. Stupid questions on why they're closing.
Meanwhile local bookstores have reported no climb in theft.
there are no local bookstores due to techies, amazon and ebay and walmart destroyed local biz. only bookstore i can remember in the last 20 years was anarchist books on haight and if they are any thing like palo alto and san jose they will be pushed out of biz by mail order hindu slave labor.
Sad. Been there back in the late 90's early 2000's when living there. They REAP what they've SOWN. Still saddened to hear how SF has become like the wild west according to friends and family still there. Glad I moved.
They told you exactly why they were closing yet the station casts about looking for alternative reasons. Can't just tell the truth. People might get aware and upset and then they might vote the wrong way.
IKEA knows criminals can't carry away furniture so they're good
They can carry the boxes the furniture comes in. What they can't do is read the directions or have the tools to put it together.
@@loveanarchy8488 Yeah, but over time they learned that the really long pieces make excellent extensions for knocking fruit out of trees.
...Or knocking a handbag from a tourist lady.
@@rnettles6241
If there are still tourists in San Poopcisco then they deserve what they get.
Ikea hasn't opened yet..
Don't hold your breath...
They still can back out
....And might!
oh please. Think of all the small items they have. It's a thief's paradise.
This is what you get when you dont punish criminals. The city doesn't seem to understand where tax revenue comes from.
Because politicians today especially the women go into politics thinking it’s a way to make money and not having a clue with how to actually govern or create affective laws. A lot of them just think it’s about walking around in a nice suit and going to a lot of cocktail parties.
Oh that's the only thing that Democrats do understand. Money comes from money trees, which are owned by rich people, and you can just keep demanding more and more money from them forever, with absolutely no negative consequences, because those money trees have infinite capacity.
I hope the best for businesses, property owners, & tax payers of San Fran. It is a tragedy to see the growing anarchy, & lack of authority to deal properly with those that are ruining social norms & values in this city.

The Bay Area as a whole is riddled with crime, it's not just San Francisco. The after effects of the pandemic has made it worse, remote workers that don't live here anymore, inflation, lack of policing. If these issues are not addressed the economy here will suffer and people will leave making the problems multiply.
The pandemic? How about the the blm riots/looting? That's the root of all this brazen and rampant theft.
The entire country is riddled with crime
They don't let the police do their job... all the democrats keep voting for the same 💩 this is what you get Commiefornia!!!
One of the best things, I ever did was to leave the Bay Area. The best thing I did was to get completely get out of California.
I love my new location and would never go back to California. I feel bad for those of you have to stay in that state.
It wasn't the pandemic, it was Newsome and city leaders REACTION to it. Shutting everything down. That and the progressive soft on crime policies = business not being sustainable. And yet people in CA will still vote for Democrats.
BREAKING NEWS; Pier 39 is closing and moving to Colorado
Denver is starting to look and smell as bad as SF
How is Ikea going open shop in DT SF? When majority of time you need car to bring home what you bought. And that means more car break in in that location. 😴🤡
Nordstrom is taking Dilbert’s advice.
🏃
Democrat autopilot… Thank You Mayor Breed and SF Supervisors!
It's important to remember what SF city leaders, and civil rights leaders are telling us: They never called for defunding the police, overall crime is down, data showing one group is responsible for a higher rate of crime than others is inaccurate and reflects a racist justice system - not reality, AND no matter what they do you or say, if you're black you CAN'T be racist.
Oh, could i add to that! But if you're white, you're automatically racist.
L.. M.. A.. O..
We need to call them the liars they are. And maybe we even need to rehabilitate the word "racist" as a compliment. That will stir them up.
That Ikea not gonna last long, the location makes no sence whatsoever
Welcome to SF's downtown, aka the new ghost town. Brought to you by the folks who gave you rampant homelessness, crime, drugs, filth and total disregard for the law.
The Party
I am surprised they survived this long, now the rest of the dominos will fall.
🥺
The life of $0 shoppers are tough. Now, they have to drive a distance to do some $0 shopping.
Thank you! Nobody seems to care about the criminals' needs and wants!
A very good news, let's make SF a ghost town and sending those supervisors and our lovely mayor to work at the homeless shelter.
Good luck paying billions in reparations with San Francisco's future tax base.
R.I.P. SAN FRANCISCO
Good riddance. Burn it all down.
The fantasy of not prosecuting thieves does not work in the real world.
absentee landlords and corporate shills buying up houses to inflate rents to techie enemies of the constitution is a bigger problem. if you push out the locals, eventually they will start targeting the gentrifiers.
Wow. Lived in SF from 2004-2010 while in school and loved it. Went there recently for a conference and the changes were night and day. Westfield was a ghost town practically where it once was a sea of shoppers and Powell St. now looks like the Tenderloin. Very depressing.
So sad…I worked there a lot when it “used to be”.
HAAAAAAAA, love it. San Fran, you deserve every store closure, every dope addict, every shoplifter, EVERYTHING. You deserve it.
Very Well Said Paul
Ouch....yet so true!
That's the thing, there's more money to be made in the suburbs. The suburbs are safer. There will be a continued migration from the city to the suburbs, and that will create a wealth gap between those in the city and in the suburbs.
I love seeing people get what they vote for
This is what happens when you vote based off political party and not the individual.
If only California could be Republican.
Very true. I didn't vote for this. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo.
@@ksmith2852 Republicans allowed all of this to happen. If neo-libs are violent mentally deranged criminals, republicans are the ones that let it all happen.
Comrades, please, only votes for The Party could possibly be legit.
I used to vote for the individual. I crossed party lines multiple times because I liked a candidate. Sadly, now that one of those parties is the party of Trump I will never vote for a Republican again. Ever.
But yet they continue to vote Democrat
Closing before Q4, they want out quickly. Smaller retailers will soon follow.
San Francisco mayor, why are you letting druggies, criminals, and homeless take over the city?
Crime pays these days
be nice if the techies driving up the rents left too. crime is good when it targets gentrifiers, imagine it being too unsafe for the techies. could return to a locals only cuture.
because it is a dump
I'm glad that I visited San Francisco in the late 90's, it was nice and safe.
Same.
If focusing on budget friendly stores, why close the rack?
The media has to spin it as anything but criminal behavior. Gotta protect the criminals.
one by one
bye-bye SF
unless SF clean up homeless, crime, drugs issues
if the techies leave i would be happy seeing the homeless moving back into their homes taken by inflated rents and techies.
Continue to send your thank you letters to Mayor Breed and all the politicians who continue to advocate policies supporting crime. The hits keep coming to SF and she continues to boast that the city is thriving. Pathetic!
Its a combination of crime and inflation.
“Shocking News Today”
Any SF news anchor who finds this “shocking” should be stripped of his credentials. This is totally predictable, yet he doesn’t have a clue.
This is sad for me. I never go to the Westfield without going to Nordstroms. Literally grew up my entire life shopping there. Designed my very own first pair of heels there. Bittersweet feeling! The mall is changing so much.😢❤
Shop for what looting is free and u get out the next day
If you were such a loyal customer, you should know it’s “Nordstrom”.
There is no pluralization at the end.
@@pushslice I worked in the retail industry, and it is widely called Nordstroms, technically correct or not,

Love that Nordstrom store, the restaurant, the high-end kitchen stuff -- but have not been there for a couple of years now due to the drugs, crime and insanity around it. I give Ikea a year at most - like Whole Foods - before they too close their doors if the crime and drugees are not brought under control. The Mayor, the DA and their supporters who voted them into office are at total fault for dragging SF into the hellhole it has become. The newsguy saying it's "shocking" that another store is closing in SF tells me he is not a very good news source if this shocks him.
Lol, so in short it’s exactly why we thought they closed….
You get what you vote for
Eventually we will have nothing . Great job, Breed.
DA is doing a great job keeping these businesses out
Oh no! Nordstrom has a wonderful prescription bra program for breast cancer survivors like me. They are a good company for many reasons. I wish them well.
The only thing surprising about this story is that it took this long.
Nothing closing in my town. Actually more opening. I think it has something to do with CRIME and SAFETY.
Hmm, "That's not the whole picture, consumers are switching to more economical options like Nordstrom Rack." say the company that is closing a Nordstrom Rack store.
Let's go London👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Stop Stealing from the Stores !
Shocking? I am shocked it took them this long to close.
Until the media holds the local government accountable the situation Will continues to deteriorate.
The media has the same agenda as these administrators. They dream of the collapse of society and its replacement with a communist paradise. Of course they aren't going to call them out, they are on the sidelines cheering them on.
Yes, cause you can’t steal furniture well they go find a way 😂
They get who they vote for!!!
I believe inflation and economic difficulties play a part as well, but most of the blame goes to the rampant crime going on in the city, particularly in the downtown area. Either way it's sad. 😢
All of which were forced by the liberal death cult, while so called conservatives stood by and watched it happen.
*Re: Retail vs Urban Environments*
Flagship stores do not always have to perform in a *"stellar"* fashion. It's more of a status fundamental to be in these locations. The reduction in foot traffic, is largely do to the stores location. When *theft and safety* issues become overwhelming; stores simply close.

they play a part yes, but 90% of it is people knowing they can do it without consequences.
