ylhird a nes trying to sleep good well of the suspect followed the neighbor home and marched inside and police say fired in five people were killed including a nine-year-old boy. now to a story only on abc seven tonight about san francisco's fentanyl crisis. a survey asked voters whether a document a drug dealer should be denied protection under the city century laws on the overwhelming majority said yes. it was conducted by a polling firm bmc and the results were given to abc 7 and our reporter is in the newsroom with interesting results. >> you know, to my knowledge and those who conducted the survey, this is the first time that voters have been asked that very specific question. it is very telling. after years of seeing the drug crisis and knowing thousands of people have died on the streets, potential voters are weighing in. it is 11:00 a.m. in the morning

and is expected, the streets of the tenderloin are buzzing around the highly addictive and potentially fatal drug fentanyl. over the past three years, san francisco had seen 2000 deaths directly letting to drug overdoses. about 1500 of those are attributed to fentanyl. in a survey of 500 potential voters in san francisco, a poll conducted by the national firm bmc research asked should fentanyl felony d-link not have sanctuary protections? 70% say they supported the ninth century protection. 20% opposed it. 10% did not know or refuse to answer. here is how the ceo of emc interprets those findings. >> i think it is frustration around acknowledging that there is a problem. >> matt dorsey, recovering addict, currently has a proposed ordinance that would exclude

fentanyl felony dealing from being protected under sanctuary city laws. >> i think we can make a minor adjustment to our sanctuary city policies to add the deadliest crime in san francisco history to a list of crimes and many less serious than fentanyl. >> but, it is unlikely his ordinance will pass as supervisors have objected, including a person who claims that many of the undocumented drug dealers are on the streets against their will. >> there are people who lure immigrants to san francisco with the promise of getting construction jobs, and then when they are here, they threaten that if they do not participate in selling drugs, they will harm family members back home and they know where they live. that is a reality happening in san francisco. >> we went to the heart of the

tenderloin to ask those who were openly dealing if that was true. where they promised a construction job and instead ended up dealing drugs? one by one they refused to answer my ques, but a longtime resident who knows many of the drug dealers here confirmed the claims. >> it's like 80% of the people out here. from my understanding, a lot of people come out here with the illusion they will come work construction or some sort of labor job. >> but tom wolf, recovering heroin and fentanyl addict who says he assisted drug dealers insists many are not victims of that trade. >> i know they are having custom-built homes constructed in the country of origin and have shown me pictures on their phone. i used to help them wire money to their native country because i had an idea and they didn't because they are undocumented.

>> how will lawmakers like supervisor dorsey use the results of the survey? >> it allows them to do a check,, thinking the same thing my voters are thinking? it's good to is something we can go to voters with over the next year and i would have very strong support from voters so that will weigh in on some of my decision-making about what we do next. >> so, there are 46 felony crimes in san francisco but are not detected under the sanctuary city ordinance, clearly this is not one of them, even those supervisor dorsey -- even though supervisor dorsey points out that there are so many people being killed by this drug. dan: they certainly are. thank you very much. ama: now to developing news. the san francisco's stabbing of bob dudley, arraignment today for the men charged with killing him was postponed again. he is being held without bail. he is not due in court for another two weeks. >> in california, demented --

dan: a bombshell announcement today as we learn nordstrom plans to close its two locations in san francisco, the only nordstrom stores left in the city. one is the anchor department store in westfield center and the other is the neighboring nordstrom rack location. why are they closing? as our anchor explains, there is

more to the story than you might think. >> tuesday, nordstrom announced the closure of downtown san francisco and nordstrom rack locations. stores will be closed by the end of august. >> it is unfortunate for the whole community. >> the store opened at the san francisco center in 1988. the rack opened on market street in 2014. the shuttering comes amid other announced retail closures in the area, including office dipped -- office depot, container store, anthropology, and the whole foods flagship along market and 2022 opening announced a temporary closure must month citing worker safety. westfield mall where nordstrom it is located sent the statement placing blame squarely on crime, saying in part the closure underscores the deteriorating situation in downtown san francisco and blamed retailers and businesses for leaving the area due to unsafe conditions. however, there is more to the story than just crime.

the national retail federation says many retailers are shifting from more high end stores to budget friendly options. nordstrom strategy mirrors this shift in consumer trends. all the san francisco stores are cl oning0 n rack stores, and their discounted brand this year, including one in noah. > we have gone through inflation over the last year and a half, that things cost more in what tends to happen is the consumer will change their behavior. they will start trading down. for example, if it costs too much, you will buy something different. he points out the unique challenges to doing business in large cities where the cost of operation is higher and where organize retail theft is an issue, compared to more suburban areas. >> it becomes a question of whether or not you want to continue to lose money in these areas by keeping your stores open or whether you want to close and look for other opportunities. >> meantime, the market street

closures are making things worse for small businesses. family-run co. hardware has a location blocks from the soon to be close nordstrom on market. >> the downtown store lost about 60% of its business. as i say, it is coming back and we are optimistic and we will continue to inch forward and hopefully we will be back to 2019 numbers maybe by 2029. >> but it is not all bad news on market street, ikea is preparing to open a 70,000 square-foot location right down the street from nordstrom in the near future. in san francisco the dion lim abc7news. dan: joining us now is phil matier. ama: we heard nordstrom talking about safety the main issue, but is it safety or the economy or equally both? >> both. it is also the rent, the cost of doing business in san francisco, but whatever the reason the sum

of effective nordstrom pulling out along with the 17 other stories is devastating for san francisco because the core of san francisco is emptying out, and the real question is can anybody come into replace it. i was talking about ross dress for less taking over the nordstrom rack location and like i said ikea is coming in, but in terms of marketing and getting the money out there in a nordstrom is losing that. it's a big one. there is a big question about the mall of the future about, and that is an entire city block comes so that his empty storefronts for whatever reason once they start and proliferate, it is trouble. dan: no question. nordstrom and anchor store in that center, so a big deal to other retailers. what can san francisco do to bring san francisco business back in? >> the mayor had two police officers who were assigned to the mall in order to keep things moving smoothly and keeping safe. nordstrom's wasn't paying for

them, the city was pure they have had ambassadors down there. the mayor would like to see a freeze for taxes on businesses to keep them there and keep going. i don't know if san francisco supervisors or boarders have an appetite for that. san francisco has long lived off its core downtown whether office workers or tourists, and the fact is they are not there anymore for a number of reasons comes of reasons, so that cash will go with them as well out of town and like i said, whatever the reasons, you can clean up the streets and do all that and tried to make it business-friendlier, but the next couple of years we better watch it, because otherwise san francisco could go the way of say detroit or cleveland in the 1970's and 1980's. ama: all right. thank you for your insight. dan: let's move on now. we will go from that to a bleak skies around the bay area. ama: just look behind us. it is back to winter. sandhya: yes. we are starting to see the skies

they know each other so well. so many matchups. steph curry has a 3-1 edge of lebron james in the finals and a 15-7 edge in the postseason. lebron james 38. steph curry 35. we do not know how many more times we will see these two square off in the postseason so we have to just sit back and savor every game between these two grades. >> i think there is a lot of mutual respect there. just like magic and larry bird back in the day coming to meet in the playoffs in that respect takes a backseat. guys are trying to beat each other and they will do anything to do so and then there is time for the respect later on, you know? but it is wonderful for basketball fans, amazing for the her frequenttpowerslmost anntir

esome. larry: so we bring in chris alvarez. you were in sacramento up close and personal watching steph curry go for 50 against the kings to win that series. lebron had a 50 point game in march. either guy can go off in any game. chris: absolutely. that is what makes it fun. we have seen how these guys have grown and they're still putting up 50 points. they are taking care of their body. the fans are out for him. four game last year, steph curry scored 43 on the warriors had to change the momentum and steph curry came through in game seven. larry: we have talked about these guys being long in the tooth, including klay thompson and draymond green you look at the schedule in this series, there is no rest for the weary here. you could be looking at injuries, 50 could be a real factor. chris: it could be.

steve kerr was asked who has the energy, do the lakers have thet? steve kerr said we got the rest and we are ready to go and we are in rhythm. vantage as well. larry: the lakers last played friday. sometimes too much rest is not a good thing. we will see how this shakes out. there is only one day off between each game, so tuesday, thursday, saturday, so on, so forth. a fun piece of video here come at the intersection of baseball and basketball. that is web who lost a bet to brandon crawford him and as a result, he has to wear a steph curry jersey.
