The owner of luxury San Francisco retailer Gump's warned that this holiday season "may be our last."
He said San Francisco is "unlivable for its residents, unsafe for our employees, and unwelcoming to visitors."
Gump's is located just off Union Square in downtown San Francisco.
Chachas made his remarks in an open letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom, San Francisco Mayor London Breed, and the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in which he criticized their leadership, published as a paid-for ad in Sunday's edition of The San Francisco Chronicle.
"Such abject disregard for civilized conduct makes San Francisco unlivable for its residents, unsafe for our employees, and unwelcoming to visitors from around the world."
