FYI this type of stuff was happening in SF well before Chesa Boudin. An SF local news crew was robbed (and shot) while reporting in Oakland (https://deadline.com/2019/02/san-francisco-news-crew-robbed-security-guard-shot-suspects-in-custody-1202564781/ https://deadline.com/2019/02/san-francisco-news-crew-robbed-...). More recently an SF news crew was robbed while reporting on car breakins, granted this was during Boudin's tenure.
Maybe Chesa Boudin's policies aren't helping, but whatever we had before wasn't working either, and with the pandemic happening at the same time I think it's unfair to solely put the blame on him due to confounding variables.
I lived in SF for almost 10 years and it seemed like property crime crime was gradually ticking up well before Chesa Boudin. The easy culprit to blame is honestly just massive and growing income inequality. If you really want a solution to the problem, close off SF from the rest of the poor United States, or lower the income inequality.

- chrischen 5y agoIt's pretty close, and many of the criminals commute (for free) from Oakland. But my point still stands, crime (property crime at least) was going up over the last decade (https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/us/ca/san-francisco/property-crime-rate-statistics https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/us/ca/san-francisco/prope... - click Property Crime tab).
