Several retailers, including Sephora, L'Occitane, and Macy's, are closing down in downtown San Francisco due to various reasons such as drug-related issues and changing retail landscapes. The closures include luxury women's clothing store The Rafael's after 32 years in the historic Palace Hotel. The city is facing challenges beyond retail closures, with concerns about hate speech, voter participation, and drug-related problems.

Why would you go shopping at a mall that sits 2 blocks away from one of the biggest open air drug markets in the nation? You don't. That's the reality of San Francisco right now. @LondonBreed @DanielLurie @MarkFarrellSF @Ahsha_Safai https://t.co/mR9311FAO9
In case you are wondering why the Macy’s is closing down in Union Square in San Francisco this is what it looks like just across the street. Believe it or not shoppers don’t like to deal with things like this. This is what it looks like when you are high on fentanyl. https://t.co/KIGUIeQEG5
