effective today, this flagship location, open only be a year ago, and the company decided to close it for safety reasons. >> it is a sign of san francisco's struggle, both real and perceived, with safety. the san francisco board of supervisors meeting had to be postponed today because vandals cut a fiber-optic line in the tenderloin. that's all on top of chronic issues like homelessness, drug dealing, and car break-ins. >> we are bringing in several voices to talk about safety in san francisco tonight. >> we kreutz looking about does looking at what has changed and what has not. >> this is one of the largest grocery stores in downtown san francisco. so many people told us they are heartbroken it is that said, folks also told us they understand the store's concerns, seethe issues
6:01 pm
firsthand by living and working in the neighborhood. >> this location is close. >> around lunch time outside the now shuttered whole foods on eighth and market street today, a steady stream of disappointment. people who live and work here at the grocery store's midmarket location told us they were surprised how abruptly the store closed its doors but not surprised by the reason. >> a said that it was just too dangerous. >> it is obvious. it is right where the homeless people are. they come and steal. >> it was monday that a spokesperson for whole foods announced the closure of the company's flagship san francisco store, which opened just over year ago, citing safety reasons. it is a far different from the one projected five years ago. this article optimistically pronounced san francisco's massive new whole foods was set to transform midmarket and that the 55,000 square-foot store would be the hub of the
6:02 pm
neighborhood that has seen a hub of explosion and -- in tech offices but lacks the amenities of an established neighborhood. san francisco supervisor matt dorsey who represents the neighborhood says the pandemic changed it all. quick there was a lot of optimism and then covid arrived. and then there was a lot of things that happened with drug dealing out there. >> many of the people we spoke to today, including dorsey, who regularly shopped at the whole foods, say shoplifting has been a major problem in addition to the nearby open drug use. late last year, the store reduced hours. >> i know they had about 250 of those when they opened, and all of them were taken as shoplifting and plemons. >> in response to the closure, dorsey announced he is trapping a charter amendment with supervisor catherine stefani to increase the san francisco police department staffing, including new efforts to recruit and retain new members. he says more police will allow the police to create units designated specifically to
6:03 pm
tackling quality of life safety issues. >> i'm going to be honest with you, it was really discouraging to walk to work this morning and realize that the only thriving business that's going on on the corner of market street and 8th street is drug dealing. we deserve better as a city, and if we have a fully staffed police department, we will get it. >> we should point out the store is temporarily close. whole foods says it could reopen, but there's no guarantee. dorsey plans to establish a minimum level of officers at roughly 700 more than are on the force now. >> how exactly would the force become reality? >> supervisor dorsey says he wants to get this on the ballot for san francisco voters to decide. for that to happen, he would need to get the support of six of his fellow supervisors. he says if he cannot get that support, he will go and gather signatures. he will need 55,000. he says he is willing to do that
6:04 pm
because he is confident that voters would be on his side on the issue. >> it has been a very interesting 10 days or so in san francisco. let's start with whole closure. it is the second grocery store to announce a closure in a week's time. it is a big blow. >> it is, especially because it is getting attention nationally and internationally. what we have is an ongoing string of incidents in san francisco, if it's a violent crime or rampant shoplifting or in this case the closure of something so common as a grocery store, a major grocery store, because of the behavior we are seeing on the streets. we also talk about the perception of crime versus the reality. violent crime and homicides in san francisco have dropped, when people say do they feel safe, i'm going to tell you something -- what many people i talk to that shopped at the whole foods says -- said is that they did
6:05 pm
not feel safe because of the bad behavior of people acting out in the store, cursing at the clerks or laundering -- wandering around the store, cursing them, threatening them. it is bad behavior. the last time i looked, and a lot of that bad behavior is not against the law in san francisco, so we have created this culture on the street, and it has gone on in not just the whole foods and other grocery stores but retailers all over the city are seeing it. >> you are exactly right. you could talk about statistics all day long, but if the perception is i don't feel safe and there's a lot of acting out on the streets, the perception is the reality. let's go to the vandalism that canceled today's board of supervisors meeting. officers discovered open land hole with damaged wires. comcast says a fiber enclosure was vandalized and destroyed, which knocked out service for about 5000 customers, including the city of san francisco's
6:06 pm
government tv live feed. that prompted the board of supervisors to recess today's meeting. it will resume tomorrow at 9:30. supervisor peskin said whoever did this was motivated and knew exactly what they were doing. >> this has been reported to the police. it is a crime. i don't know more than that. i know that it took great intention to remove an extremely heavy piece of concrete to get into the vault. it would appear to me that the individual or individuals who did this new what they were doing because they were able to cut the fiber-optic line. >> comcast is working to repair the damage, but i feel this is just crazy. a cut fiber line? >> i think you said the word -- crazy. unfortunately, that is becoming the catchword in san francisco. if it is somebody going in on a bicycle and loading up a garbage bag full of goods at a walgreens and bicycling out while the
6:07 pm
security guard stands there, that image goes out, if it is something so tragic as the stabbing of bob lee or the closing of whole foods because of crazy, that is becoming -- san francisco used to be entertaining. it used to be eccentric. now we are dealing with the fact that it is crazy. to be completely honest, we have supervisors like matt dorsey who say, let's add 500 police. that's going to take years and years. even if it is approved by voters, you are talking five or six or seven years. san francisco does not necessarily have that time. since covid, it has entered a near crisis situation. this is something totally unexpected, but like you said, it is crazy. >> the eccentricity used to be part of the charm. you mentioned bob lee, murder still not solved. obviously, solving that
6:08 pm
help the city's image, which has suffered a major blow. >> people have spoken to think it was not necessarily random. that he was targeted. he was stabbed with a knife, which means somebody was up close with him. but there are no reports of an arrest. if it turns out to be a crime of passion or something like that, it is a tragedy, but if it does turn out to be a random thing, possibly involving a homeless person or something like that, that is a different narrative, but right now, the story has already gone out and what happens next remains to be seen, but again, it is just another sort of logged on this fire that is just cooking the city, and it would be nice if we could get a break around here. >> for sure. you mentioned police staffing, and supervisor dorsey wants five years. we don't even know if that is possible, but very quickly, lastly, san francisco has not just a local problem but a national and international problem with its reputation. >> it does, and we are hearing
6:09 pm
it. the tourist people are hearing it. hotels are hearing it. i'm hearing it. when i go out or people visit or something like that or you come across people, they said i used to go to san francisco. i remember san francisco when. it hurts. they are not saying now. they are saying the last time i was there, boy, has it changed. if we change the culture, we are going to come out of this. if we don't, this is the new world. it is our choice. >> happening now, a demand for action following a car crash that claimed a champion cyclist's life. a group ride in honor of his life started minutes ago in the presidio. one week ago, a car crashed into the cycling champion, killing him. cyclist tonight will ride to golden gate park where they will hold a rally. the crash has ended calls by the san francisco bike coalition for
6:10 pm
protected bike lanes. >> we have an update on the san francisco police officer who was seriously hurt when falling tree crushed his car last month during one of those storms. the sergeant was released from s.f. general today. the police officers association shared a photo of the procession as fellow officers escorted him to a long-term rehabilitation facility. a gofundme has raised almost $268,000 to help with the cost of his recovery. >> coming up next, we take you to capitola to see if recovery from storm damage has happened in time for spring break vacationers. >> the winds have picked up. i will let you know how long this gusty, cooler pattern will last coming up. >> inspired by a series of stories from 7 on your side, the california legislature passed the first ever regulations of the dog training industry last year. however, calls for the licensing of dog trainers remain unanswered. michael finney will join

6:14 pm
-- [horns construction. >> we are hanging up one of the divided, exposed head beams through the dining room. we are the last final hurrah. the weather has not been nice to us, but we are pushing. >> the goal for reopening was always spring break. zelda's along with my type each should begin next week. >> we worked really hard just even open in a limited capacity to put people back to work and start serving the public again. we still have a really long way to go, but we are feeling optimistic and we are excited. >> excited for these visitors, no doubt. it has been quite a while since it has been this busy. maybe the last time the town saw crowds as big as this was when president joe biden visited in
6:15 pm
january. >> the country is here for you and with you. we are not leaving until things are built back and looked back better than before. >> in the months since president biden waved goodbye to the town, these owners, managers, and contractors say they have not seen any federal aid and the process to request it has been incredibly challenging. >> why is this now three months later, and these people that are suffering, they didn't get any money? please, somebody, help. >> it has taken a lot of time, money, and physical effort on the part of these businesses to get to this point, but they say even without state or federal help, the support of the community has led to where they are now. >> i want to welcome people back. i want to save that i want to say thank you. i want to welcome people back into my home. >> feels like it won't be long before people want to hit the beach areas. >> right now, you will -- you
