I used to go running in the early morning near Dolores Park. I remember a period of about six weeks when the entire row of cars there parked overnight would reliably have their windows broken every morning. I also struggle to remember ever seeing an SFPD officer patrolling this neighborhood (two blocks from a major police station) on foot.

Footbeats have been cut back from pretty much all police incl. in Europe. Policing(even moreso with reduced personnel) is more reactive than preventative. Getting from A to B and dealing with issue in B is generally quicker and safer by vehicle than having somebody run to B and then dealing with issue. Limited energy stores etc.
- masonic 7y agoIt's hot even reactive, when it comes to property crime. Police don't respond to property crimes below a Grand Theft threshold; they just have you file a police report online, and that is only used for insurance purposes.
