I am surprised that the crime and the homeless problem were not even mentioned as the key reasons for people leaving SF. I live on Mission street and a Walgreens near me was closed recently due to the amount of open shoplifting that no one would even bother to stop or investigate. I mean, I pay $3K for a small apartment - I expect some basic level of safety basically in the downtown area of a major US city. Whatever is happening with the local government - it doesn’t work.

From what I've heard, larger companies have stopped trying to prevent shoplifting under a certain amount, since they don't want the liability of their staff getting injured in any altercations. The companies are actively telling their employees to not intervene in a physical manner. This has led to the brazen behavior by shoplifters to steal without concealing their actions.
