A business owner in San Francisco's Tenderloin district argues a proposed overnight curfew would cut off some essential customers and not 'stop or slow down' crime rates.

Residents and small businesses’ concerns are seemingly rising in San Francisco around a proposed law that forces a curfew on some of the city’s retail establishments. "I do not think it will make any changes, closing two hours before or after four hours. Most of the activities that happen during the day will continue," New Princess Market owner Willie Masarweh said on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Sunday.

Mayor London Breed announced the new legislation last week to put a curfew on a section of Tenderloin, which has become notorious for high crime, homelessness and public drug use. In a press statement, the mayor's office revealed that it would introduce legislation to "prohibit some retail establishments selling prepacked food or tobacco products from operating between 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. in part of the Tenderloin.
