Gonzalez used to sell antiques and other vintage goods near 23rd and Mission Streets for 15 years until San Francisco Supervisor Hilary Ronen announced a 90-day street vending ban on Mission Street, impacting permitted vendors like Gonzalez.

For 15 years, Yani Gonzalez was part of a vast people-powered commercial ecosystem, one that allowed her to survive off of the antiques and vintage goods she would sell on Mission Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that is no more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust imagine, last week, I only made $10,\u201d Gonzalez told El Tecolote. \u201cAnd with $10, I can\u2019t survive. Rent is coming, the bills have to be paid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story is one echoed by many street vendors, whose sales have dropped drastically since the vending ban on Mission Street went into effect on Nov. 27. Gonzalez was just one of many frustrated Mission Street vendors who marched on City Hall on Dec. 8, where they hand-delivered a letter to both Mayor London Breed and District 9 Supervisor Hillary Ronen, listing their concerns and a demand for an end to the ban.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported in El Tecolote, the ban was spearheaded by Ronen over concerns about public safety, the selling of stolen goods and violence on Mission Street. The ban, initially proposed for three months with the aim to be permanent, stops all street vending within a 300-foot radius on Mission Street between 14th and Cesar Chavez Streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when it comes to the argument that the ban is to reduce crime and improve public safety, the street vendors aren\u2019t buying it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat has always existed. I lived on 19th and Mission for 14 years. You’ve always heard that,\u201d Gonzalez said. \u201cAnd because now they come to \u2018supposedly\u2019 wash their hands, saying they\u2019re doing it for us \u2026 I just came from the 16th, it looks horrible, and we\u2019re not allowed to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an attempt to appease the displaced street vendors, two locations have been opened in the Mission \u2014 El Tiangue, located at 17th and Mission Streets, and La Placita, located at 24th and Capp Streets. But the locations haven\u2019t been practical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an almost one hundred percent turnaround,\u201d Ana Hernandez told El Tecolote, who now sells children\u2019s clothes and toys at El Tiangue. She went from making $300 to $400 a day \u2014 $600 on a good day \u2014\u00a0to just $10 to $15. There have been two days where she’s sold nothing. When asked what she hoped to accomplish with the march, she simply replied: \u201cThat they listen to us. And let us sell again where we used to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Street vendors also described meeting with Ronen on Dec. 7, the day before the march. According to the street vendors who met with Ronen, they pleaded with her to undo the ban, to which Ronen refused. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYesterday [Ronen] left super angry and left us with words in our mouths,\u201d said Gonzalez. \u201cWhat we tried to tell her was to let us have our spaces back, and she said no \u2026 We are peaceful, we want to do things right, we\u2019re not hurting anyone \u2026 and she said she\u2019s not going to back down. And we\u2019re not going to back down either.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same day, various community organizations such as the Latino Task Force, Calle 24, Clecha and MEDA\u2019s Mission Loteria, launched the Las Posadas Holiday Shopping campaign, in hopes to spur business in the corridor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are launching this campaign to continue to support the long-term sustainability of our permitted vendors in the Mission,\u201d said Mayor Breed in a press release announcing the campaign. \u201cAs we work on creating economic pathways to support the neighborhood\u2019s small business owners, we can\u2019t lose sight that we need to deliver safe and clean streets so the whole neighborhood can thrive.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ronen was also quoted in the release, stating: \u201cNot only are we making our streets safer and more welcoming for residents and visitors, we are thrilled to launch this holiday campaign to lift up our local businesses and permitted street vendors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo: Pablo Unzueta for El Tecolote\/CatchLight Local<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sofia Lopez said she first became a licensed street vendor back in 2015, selling her Mexican and Central American goods at the BART Plaza at 24th and Mission. She said business was good. Then the pandemic hit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After much of the world shut down in March of 2020 due to COVID-19, Lopez went nearly nine months without vending. At that same time, she didn\u2019t receive rent assistance or food stamps and said that she couldn’t renew her permit. With the help of Calle 24, Lopez was able to secure a Street Vendor Permit from San Francisco Public Works. But that permit only lasted a year. Lopez\u2019 permit expired on Nov. 15, she said, without her being informed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are in a crisis,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cAnd how I feel, everyone feels.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lopez, like others, also takes issue with designated street vending locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore renting this building, they should have told us,\u201d Lopez said. \u201cBecause you are not going to decide for me. This is a free country. I’m not going to decide for you. So she can\u2019t decide for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vendors El Tecolote spoke with are affiliated with the Mission Street Vendors Association, a group that has around 107 members. When they arrive at their designated spaces at El Tiangue and La Placita, they describe leaving hours later, with all or most of their merchandise still on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with the holidays approaching, the lack of funds already has vendors thinking about how else to make ends meet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Gonzalez, she will rely on her family and her savings. She\u2019s already cut back on groceries and has told her two teenage sons that Christmas will be sad this year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI already told them, don’t expect anything for Christmas,\u201d Gonzalez said, wiping away tears. \u201cAnd it breaks my heart because as a mother, you want the best for her children.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
