Tampa Mayor Urges Safety Measures in Ybor City After Mass Shooting

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor is proposing a juvenile curfew in Ybor City following a shooting that left two people dead and 15 injured. The curfew would start at 1 a.m. and aims to address concerns about late-night activity and public safety in the historic neighborhood. City attorneys will present a draft ordinance for the curfew, and if supported by the City Council, it could be implemented within a few weeks. The shooting has sparked discussions about the future of Ybor City, with some calling for fewer alcohol-related businesses and a greater focus on residential properties and daytime businesses. Council members are also seeking increased community policing and code enforcement to address noise violations and other infractions.

SF Federal Building Implements Work-From-Home Policy Amid Crime Concerns

Workers at San Francisco's Federal Building on 7th and Mission streets have been advised to work from home due to safety concerns over crime. The Department of Health and Human Services issued a memo calling for employees to maximize telework, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has expressed safety concerns for her staff. The area around the building has a history of drug use and sales, and the ongoing fentanyl crisis has prompted increased law enforcement presence. The crime and drug problems have impacted retail corridors, leading to closures and declining sales. Despite this, IKEA has announced plans to open its first San Francisco store in the Mid-Market corridor.
