A proposed new bill aimed at cracking down on the sale of stolen goods on San Francisco streets is being welcomed by legitimate vendors who sell their wares on Mission District street corners.

Rodrigo Lopez has been a vendor on Mission Street since 2019. Now, as the president of the Mission Street Vendors Association, he's leading a movement that's gaining traction.
