San Francisco approved legislation Tuesday to institute a curfew on certain businesses in the city in another attempt at preventing crime at night.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved legislation Tuesday to institute a curfew on certain businesses in the city's latest attempt at preventing drug use in the crime-ridden Tenderloin district. The new curfew rules would prevent businesses in the Tenderloin selling 'prepackaged food or tobacco products from operating' between midnight and 5 a.m. Businesses that sell liquor will close later, between 2 and 5 a.m., according to a press release from Tuesday.
