ABC7 News went to the Mission District after the 90-day street vending ban was announced. Every vendor we spoke to had a permit and say they are confused as to why they have to pay the price for the group that is not following the rules.
San Francisco Mission District's vendors say street vending ban on Mission Street isn't fair to those who have been following the rules.San Francisco Supervisor Hillary Ronen is categorizing the ban on street vending in the Mission District as a necessary emergency measure. She is hoping to start with 90 days but if it works - keep the ban indefinitely.
Supervisor Hillary Ronen represents this district. Her office is getting reports of San Francisco Public Works employees being attacked and unpermitted vendors blocking sidewalks."It's hard to enforce and it's just not working. It's not working enough," said Supervisor Ronen, "This is just a safety problem."
Every vendor we spoke to had a permit and now they are confused asking why they have to pay the price for the group that is not following the rules. "Our inspectors have been offered bulletproof vests. Some of them are availing themselves to that opportunity. They are wearing them. They have been punched, they have been pocked. They had things thrown at them," said Rachel Gordon, spokesperson for the San Francisco Public Works Dept.
