The Standard: Macy's Union Square workers say rampant shoplifting to blame for closure
An employee stated who the thieves are:
1. Drug users directed by fences on what to steal
2. Packs of teenagers
"Dalisay, who has worked at the Macy's in Union Square for 20 years after moving to San Francisco from the Philippines in 1996, blamed Mayor London Breed and Prop. 47, which made shoplifting less than $950 worth of property a misdemeanor, as the source of the store's shoplifting woes. He called on the city to more aggressively prosecute shoplifters."

Same with the oppressed people that engage in regular bipping: What are they supposed to do, parlay their experience with motor vehicles into a job driving for Amazon? Low wages and zero cachet!
And don't get me started on the unfortunate unhoused population... have you priced homes in San Francisco lately? What other options do they have? And please don't tell me they should move to an area where housing is cheaper and get a job. You don't see any tech bros doing that!
Give me a break about the homeless. We have never spent more on the problem and never gotten worse results.

Following up, t4k didn't talk about crime being driven by migrants but it's something you often hear. It also doesn't appear to be true.Unit2Sucks said:tequila4kapp said:Nice try. We are talking about crime that has allegedly led to retail stores closing. Theft.Unit2Sucks said:Can you point me to the evidence that rape, arson and murder have been decriminalized? Home invasions? Armed robberies?tequila4kapp said:Easy. Crime is "lower" because all kinds of behaviors have been decriminalized or become non-chargeable since everyone knows the perpetrators won't be prosecuted.Unit2Sucks said:tequila4kapp said:Those problems have always existed.

Now explain why crime is much lower than it was 15. 20 and 30 years ago.
Why is the homicide rate 3x in Alabama compared to New York City?
Is it possible the drivers of crime aren't as simplistic as politicians and partisans like to pretend? I certainly don't think we can categorically rule out any impact from the factors you focus on, nor do I believe they are as impactful as many claim.
I do know that mass incarceration has a very negative impact on young men and their families which created an existential set of problems in our society.
What has been decriminalized that could be impacting the data?
Would you rather we have more violent crime or retail theft?
I am pointing out that the simplistic narrative ignores the meaningful improvement that has been made. It also ignores history generally. Macys has been struggling for more than a decade and is closing 150 stores, most of which aren't in SF.
But don't let me get in the way of partisan driven outrage.
Trump's claims of a migrant crime wave are not supported by national data
— Jesse Rodriguez (@JesseRodriguez) February 29, 2024
An NBC News review of available 2024 crime data shows overall crime levels dropping in cities that have received the most migrants.https://t.co/saOQGomNMj
Quote:
According to a recent Pew poll, 57% of Americans said that a large number of migrants seeking to enter the country leads to more crime. Republicans (85%) overwhelmingly say the migrant surge leads to increased crime in the U.S. A far smaller share of Democrats (31%) say the same. The poll found that 63% of Democrats say it does not have much of an impact.
But despite the former president's campaign rhetoric, expert analysis and available data from major-city police departments show that despite several horrifying high-profile incidents, there is no evidence of a migrant-driven crime wave in the United States.
Quote:
An NBC News review of available 2024 crime data from the cities targeted by Texas' "Operation Lone Star," which buses or flies migrants from the border to major cities in the interior shows overall crime levels dropping in those cities that have received the most migrants.
Overall crime is down year over year in Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, New York and Los Angeles. Crime has risen in Washington, D.C., but local officials do not attribute the spike to migrants.
"This is a public perception problem. It's always based upon these kinds of flashpoint events where an immigrant commits a crime," explains Graham Ousey, a professor at the College of William & Mary and the co-author of "Immigration and Crime: Taking Stock." "There's no evidence for there being any relationship between somebody's immigrant status and their involvement in crime."
Ousey notes the emotional toll these incidents have taken and how they can inform public perception, saying, "They can be really egregious acts of criminality that really draw lots of attention that involve somebody who happens to be an immigrant. And if you have leaders, political leaders who are really pushing that narrative, I think that would have the tendency to sort of push up the myth."
