Lloyd Silverstein was helping a customer in his Hayes Valley store Optical Underground when he was approached by someone asking him to sign a neighborhood petition. As a board member of the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association (HVNA), he knew there was a petition coming soon addressing the increase in homelessness, specifically tent encampments in the neighborhood, and so he signed it with just a glance at the paper. He said he saw many fellow merchants had signed, so he didn’t think much about it. ...

Silverstein’s name and store have since been removed from the tent-free petition at his request, but he said the damage has already been done. He’s received two emails and one Instagram message from customers letting him know they would no longer be supporting his business. He said another nearby store had a large order canceled, and restaurant owner Kim Alter of Nightbird had been verbally threatened. He’s worried that this mistake could be the last straw for an already struggling Hayes Valley. ...

Alter confirmed she signed the tent-free petition thinking it was the HVNA petition and has since been "sent a few screenshots of people threatening to loot, boycott, yelp bomb and find our homes and burn them down."

Gosh, leftists and Democrats threatening violence for dissenting political opinions? Who would have guessed? Lol. We all should have guessed, because only the left is violent.

Here is the petition: https://www.tentfreezone.com/

Please sign it if you work or live in Hayes Valley in SF.

The tent encampment are drug addicts taking advantage of public generosity and tolerance in order to do more drugs, and the mentally ill, who should be offered space in mental hospitals.
