San Francisco plans to crack down on drug activity in the Tenderloin by placing a curfew on some corner stores during the overnight hours. It's part of Mayor London Breed's plan to make the streets safer, reduce loitering and crowds, and prevent drug-related crimes. She said the new ordinance, which was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, followed community outreach.
The mayor's office said small businesses hope this effort will improve safety in the area, under this two-year pilot program.Bars and restaurants like Falafel City, which is open until 2 am, would be exempt."I think it's a great plan, it's pretty good to close the liquor store from 12 to 5 and keep all the people away that have - all these homeless people away that have mental health problems," said co-owner Shaheer Asghar.
