Our new legislation to crack down on sale of stolen goods on San Francisco streets

I’m rolling out new legislation to crack down on the sale of stolen goods on San Francisco streets. These organized crime networks are fueling retail theft, driving out legitimate street vendors & leading to violence.

Our legislation gives San Francisco stronger tools to hold people accountable & to allow street vending to flourish without being disrupted by stolen goods rackets. Street vendors are hugely positive for our city & this legislation supports their ability to conduct their business in peace.

We worked extensively with community organizations, the Mayor, and other stakeholders in formulating the bill. The street vendors association supports it.
