A popular San Francisco food hall, La Cocina, is closing after some restaurateurs are claiming that the sidewalks outside the hall are too full of drug dealing, public defection and crime to allow for a pleasant experience for guests, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. 

The food hall, located in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, was supported by a nonprofit that provided assistance primarily to "women from communities of color and immigrant communities." One chef, Wafa Bahloul, an Algerian immigrant, said that the "best solution" was to close down shop, the Chronicle reported. 

"[Bahloul] said the sidewalks outside were too dangerous and unpleasant to lure people to dinner as night fell."
