SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – More than 100 San Francisco Mission Street vendors are continuing to push back on a proposed city ban on business. “For many folks, it's their only livelihood, their only way to make a living due to immigration status and the barriers and challenges that come with that,” said Kevin Ortiz, co-president of the SF Latinx Democratic Club. This week’s demonstration is a desperate plea from families, supporters say, who are legally permitted to sell products on Mission Street and have done so for years in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Construction crew has $5K worth of stolen tools returned after Pleasanton police bust “Many families I’ve talked to are stressed, they are worried,” Ortiz said. The group is calling for the city to delay its plans until after the busy holiday season, but ban supporters say the plazas near the 16th and 24th Street BART stations are now hotspots for crime – places where stolen goods are sold, and public works employe...Volunteers deliver Thanksgiving meals to the elderly in Marin County
