On April 11, 2023, in Downtown San Francisco, one of the largest supermarkets called Whole Foods closed down its doors due to deteriorating street conditions nearby. The street was known as a big drug and crime place, and activity has increased in the past year since the s supermarket opened. Whole Foods was just open for a year when San Francisco city hall announced that they will be contributing to the process of closing it down.  Yahoo had put in the article saying “We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being,” a Whole Foods salesperson had said. They went on to say: “If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening of our Trinity location.” The news was announced after a recent spam of violent attacks that happened in San Francisco. Some of the recent incidents were the CashApp founder Bob Lee was stabbed to death, cycling champion Ethan Boyes died after being struck by a car, and former commissioner Don Carmignani was brutally beaten over the head with a pipe by a homeless man, he ended up surviving the terrible incident. Yahoo was told that CNN ended up traveling to San Francisco’s city hall and interviewing Whole Foods workers since it was one of the biggest markets on the street, workers reported that they have had their bags stolen. Whole Foods isn’t the first business that has closed down, a bunch of small businesses in San Francisco has been closed due to the crime rates that have been increasing in the past year.
