San Francisco McDonald’s Shuts Down After 30 Years amid City’s Decline
A McDonald’s in downtown San Francisco, California, has shut down as the city grapples with numerous issues plaguing businesses in the area.
The fast-food location’s ownership, Scott Rodrick of Rodrick Management Group, had a negative view when speaking of the issue, Fox Business reported Saturday:
Office building vacancies, the environmental atmosphere of downtown sidewalks and a tepid return by tourists and conventioneers all drove the decision.
The economics of running a franchised restaurant in San Francisco continue to be a challenge, particularly in a downtown that is impacted by high office building vacancy rates and visitor trends that have not recovered since the pandemic. My Front Street location, without the benefit of parking and a drive-through, amplified the challenge.

The location has been in business for 30 years, but employees have had to find work at other McDonald’s restaurants in the area.
Rodrick said his other locations are doing well after the coronavirus pandemic, but shuttering the downtown location was like “a gut punch.”
In May, San Francisco launched its first video advertising campaign in an effort to bring tourists back to the area after a long history of reports revealing its issues with crime, homelessness, and urban decay, Breitbart News reported.
“Downtown San Francisco has experienced the slowest pandemic recovery of any major U.S. city,” the outlet noted.

Meanwhile, local bank branches are closing up shop at their San Francisco locations due to the city’s economic decline and numerous other woes, Breitbart News reported Wednesday.
The report added, “some of the closures in San Francisco are related to the ongoing exodus of retail businesses, many of which were exhausted by the persistent problem of shoplifting.”
The Fox Business article also highlighted the fact McDonald’s has been concerned after California said it would institute a minimum wage increase that the business feared would not be a good thing for its franchisees. Workers’ baseline pay will rise to $20 an hour come April 1.
Gavin Newsom’s Approval Rating Hits All-time Low in California
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has hit an all-time low approval rating of 44%, according to a new poll by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and the Los Angeles Times.
The Times reported Tuesday:
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s standing among California voters has hit an all-time low, with 49% disapproving of his performance as governor, according to a new UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll co-sponsored by the Los Angeles Times.
The survey showed Newsom’s popularity has tumbled this year as he continues to amplify his national profile and campaign outside of the Golden State to support President Biden and attack Republican governors and their conservative political agendas.
Newsom’s approval rating was 44% in the late October poll, an 11-point slide from February when 55% of voters approved of his performance. His disapproval among California voters increased 10 percentage points from earlier this year.
Newsom lost support among Democrats as well as Republicans; 55% of respondents feel that the state is heading in the wrong direction. The poll sampled over 4,000 likely primary voters in California; The margin of error in the polls was 2.5%.
Some of Newsom’s policies are popular. He is championing Proposition 1, a popular proposal aimed at providing mental health services to the homeless as part of an effort to move them off the streets. He is moving the state forward toward the first construction of a major reservoir — the Sites Reservoir — in more than four decades. And his recent visit to Israel to show solidarity with the Jewish state after the October 7 terror attack was welcomed by many voters (though opposed by others).
However, Newsom’s support for the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party on transgender issues has led to local pushback. And California voters may have grown tired of his obsessive attacks on Republicans elsewhere, rather than on problems at home.
