Gilles Desaulniers has owned Harvest Urban for nearly 20 years and has witnessed the downward spiral of the surrounding neighborhood as it has been overwhelmed with crime and drug use.
Newsom's office said the city has seen a 40% jump in overdose deaths in the first three months of this year alone. Most are concentrated in the Tenderloin and SoMa neighborhoods.
The 71-year-old longtime San Francisco resident said his market has been broken into at least five times this year. Last year, he replaced seven huge panels of glass. He said he witnesses stealing multiple times a day and believes the store bathroom is used daily for drug transactions. Newsom paid an unannounced visit to the Tenderloin this week, and the mayor said he's been working to take aggressive action. The state agencies will identify resources and personnel to dismantle fentanyl trafficking rings.
