A showdown is over street vending is heating up in San Francisco's Mission District, with vendors saying upcoming restrictions will put their livelihoods in jeopardy at one of the busiest times of the year.
SAN FRANCISCO — In the vibrant heart the district, the streets are often lined with eclectic goods. Sofia Lopez, a dedicated street vendor, has been serving her community since 2015. Offering a range of products from wallets to religious items, Lopez's business has become a fixture in the neighborhood.However, the familiar hustle and bustle of her street vending days might soon see a pause.
However, the relocation mandate has impacted vendors like Lopez, who obtained permits in 2022 after the Board of Supervisors passed legislation. Having invested nearly $500 in acquiring her permit, Lopez, like many others, feels the weight of this sudden change.Local community leader Kevin Ortiz, co-chair of the SF Latinx Democratic Club, expressed the frustration of vendors, pointing out the creative approaches the city could adopt.
