San Francisco drug crisis in spotlight after epic Whole Foods fail
A report by San Francisco officials in August 2022 estimated that up to 20,000 people would experience homelessness at some point in the city in 2022, with four out of five of them remaining unhoused by city programs. The data was revealed in a"point in time" count, which are carried out regularly to qualify for federal funding.
The supermarket chain is at pains to suggest that the closure may be temporary, with a representative telling:"We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being. If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening of our Trinity location." But an unnamed City Hall source reportedly told the paper that the store's officials cited the level of crime and open drug use in the area as being a key reason for closing it down.
Regular customer Allyn Mejia, who shopped at the market for groceries twice a week, said she is bitterly disappointed to lose the venue so quickly.But she admitted she wasn't surprised that safety concerns had driven the store out, telling the newspaper:"I've seen security run into the store real quick before, like, something happened.
