San Francisco Board Passes Tenderloin Curfew

San Francisco's Board of Supervisors approved a two-year pilot program, backed by Mayor London Breed, to impose a curfew on retail stores in the Tenderloin neighborhood, prohibiting them from operating between midnight and 5 a.m. The measure aims to combat nighttime drug activities by restricting the operation of corner stores that attract drug-related activities. Violating stores may face fines of up to $1,000 per hour. The curfew exempts restaurants, bars, and event halls. The initiative, part of a broader crackdown on drug markets, received support from the community and organizations within the neighborhood.
