Come on now, you're doing more cherry-picking than the article. The title of the article is "Car break-ins are up as tourism returns to San Francisco", not the title selected for the HN submission. The money quote is actually from the 6th paragraph buried of the article, two full scrolls down: > Last month, the Police Department’s Central Station saw a 753% increase in auto burglaries compared to the previous May. But that was the height of lockdown restrictions. They are up only 75% compared to 2019. As you can see, all of the numbers are properly contextualized. The graph above the quote includes the 2019, 2020 and 2021, clearly demonstrating the dip in 2020. The article is focusing on Central Station because the central premise of the article is that the increase is in tourist areas. There is nothing nefarious going here either. From the article; > Statistics from San Francisco police show that break-ins have risen sharply in tourist areas, particularly the San Francisco Police Department’s Central District Overall it is a pretty neutral reporting, upfront about their sampling biases, and no, not implying a general pattern or carrying out a conspiracy against SF.
