"John Chachas, the owner of luxury department store Gump's San Francisco, wrote an open letter to Governor Newsom, Mayor London Breed, and the city's Board of Supervisors, pleading for them to act on what he describes as the city's worsening downtown conditions.
'Today, as we prepare for our 166th holiday season at 250 Post Street, we fear this may be our last,' Chachas wrote in an open letter, published as a paid ad in the Sunday edition of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Gump's, which sells luxury furnishings and jewelry, was acquired by Chachas after the retailer filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2018. The high-end retailer, founded in San Francisco in 1861 and born out of the famed California gold rush, has only one physical location, which is one block from the city's Union Square."

And in Whole Foods and Yoga Parking lots at night (though I'm still pondering how to get that word out)
People say the news is all bad. I don't think that at all.
