Café International in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury District Shuts Down Amid Criminal Extortion
Cafe International, a cornerstone in San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district, has temporarily shut its doors amid an alarming wave of shoplifting, extortion, and threats of violence. Since 1987, this local watering hole has weathered ups and downs, but recent crime from nearby Tenderloin has bled into its cozy confines, pushing its long-time owner Zora into an unprecedented "violated state of mind." It's hilarious, really. While "Captain Ahab" politicians and "S.S. Minnow" bureaucrats engage in their macho banter, small businesses like Cafe International are sinking in a "sea of lawlessness." The owner, likely borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, has plunged into debt from property damages. Still, she's hanging on, unwilling to join the trend of businesses sailing away from San Francisco. But let's be frank—how many five-day contemplation periods will it take for these businesses to realize the iceberg is dead ahead?
If you're clutching your pearls over the closure, don't look to City Hall for a lifeboat. Their air-conditioned chambers appear to be a Bermuda Triangle where concerns over public safety mysteriously vanish. Amidst rising lawlessness, it seems property crimes are as popular as avocado toast at a Millennial brunch—but don't expect to see any trending stats; they're "not being reported," the same way a fishing story leaves out the one that got away. So, next time you hear a politician claiming a decline in crime rates, remember that stats, like fish tales, often grow bigger around a campfire of bureaucracy.
