Starbucks has announced the closing of 16 stores over concerns about rampant drug use inside its restrooms, assaults, and squatting homeless “customers.”

Oh, and take a wild guess which cities are seeing the closures because of rampant crime.

• • • Portland
    • Philadelphia
    • Washington D.C.
    • Los Angeles
    • Seattle

Who runs these cities?

Seattle, the city where Starbucks was founded, has seen a 75% increase in shootings compared to last year. Los Angeles has seen more people murdered in the last six months than at any other comparable time period in 15 years.

Things are pretty awful in our major cities when you can’t even feel safe getting a cup of coffee.
