Walgreens Pulls Out of Tenderloin: A Free Market Reaction to Failed Policy

6 months ago
229

San Francisco is losing another Walgreens, marking the third such closure in less than two years. But are we surprised? Tucked away at the intersection of Geary and Taylor streets, in the heart of the low-income Tenderloin neighborhood, this Walgreens was hardly the tourist attraction some claim it to be. Let's face it: when businesses in Union Square, one of the city's prime retail districts, are pulling up stakes, something's off. And let's not forget the "tourism angle." This Walgreens is just blocks away from the epicenter of an area riddled with vacant shops, low foot traffic, and increasing instances of shoplifting and violence.

In corporate speak, this closure is a "difficult decision," but the reality? This is the market speaking loud and clear: if you don't protect your businesses and maintain law and order, the free market will. It's Economics 101, but it seems that lesson has been lost on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, who seem more intent on handcuffing security guards than actually protecting the community. The fallout is clear: skyrocketing liability and plummeting viability have sealed this Walgreens' fate. And don't think for a second that it's the last one.
