Utah-based outdoor apparel brand Cotopaxi is shutting down its store in San Francisco due to worries about crime plaguing the city, CEO Davis Smith said on Tuesday.

“It’s sad, but San Francisco appears to have descended into a city of chaos. Many streets and parks are overrun with drugs, criminals, and homelessness, and local leadership and law enforcement enable it through inaction,” Smith wrote in a post on LinkedIn.
