This week, we dive into The City’s mom-and-pops in Mid-Market, which have experienced an economic atmospheric river that includes the shift to remote work and an open-air drug market.

Welcome to The Storefront, a column dedicated to exploring small businesses around San Francisco. Your guide on this journey is native San Franciscan Tigran Demurjian.Inside an ornate, wood-paneled cannabis lounge, co-owner Nate Haas declined to have his picture taken, citing security reasons. It’s a telltale sign in a neighborhood where empty stores and crime-fueled danger dominate.

In his opinion, the neighborhood’s problems with crime and homelessness stem from a drug abuse crisis, which is being poorly handled. So far, he says, the solution has been to push people from street to street. “What’s the plan?” He asks of our city officials. “Sixth Street is a thoroughfare for people coming from the airport to downtown. It’s the first thing people see. It could be a showcase for S.F. small businesses,” Martinez said thinking back to that time.

Martinez points to one of the graphic T-shirts they make in the store. “It’s part of our tagline: ‘Create a better world'.”Jakub Przybyszewski’s been working and living in the Mid-Market area for over 10 years, six of which he’s spent as co-owner of one of the neighborhood’s few bars. “We’re one of the last few to stick around. If we or another business shut down, it will become a true ghost town.

Such a warm & fuzzy story. Makes me want to jump in my car and head to market street for a beautiful Sunday afternoon of piss & craziness.

Remind me why did we introduce prop13? Oh wait, to make sure mom and pop's don't loose the house, because they can't/won't pay taxes. As a result, daughters and son got homeless and dirt poor. Stop this mom and pop propaganda.
