San Francisco city officials, including Mayor London Breed, have announced the extension of a temporary moratorium on street vending along Mission Street for an additional six months. The decision follows the initial results showing a 30% reduction in thefts and assaults, and a survey where 75% of businesses supported the continuation of the ban. Since its implementation in November, the moratorium has been credited with making the Mission Street corridor cleaner and safer, with 56% of businesses surveyed reporting that the street felt safer. Despite the reported improvements, the extension has also brought attention to the struggles faced by vendors due to the ban.
