I wouldn't give up the higher income because you don't like the DA. If you don't read the news or hang out with people that are addicted to the news like /r/sanfrancisco you won't even notice. My way to deal with car crime is not owning a car, with the extra income I can afford to mostly use ridesharing for most of my needs and rent a car for the rest of them. Other than car crime, other forms of violent crime in SF are mostly non-existent and rare statical anomalies.

I'm an Asian American. I have absolutely zero confidence that racist attacks against Asians are going to get better any time soon against people like me especially when a DA like Chesa Boudin refuses to take any single form of accountability in regards to crime. I'll happily take a smaller paycheck if that means I don't have to constantly watch my back.

That is mind boggling to Americans outside of SF though. That’s the equivalent of telling people not to “dress slutty” if they don’t want to be raped.

  > That’s the equivalent of telling people not to “dress slutty” if they don’t want to be raped. So crime against your car and your person are two completely different things so I don't think it's equivalent at all. Also I am not "less free" because I don't have a car, everything I would do in my life with one I do with more expensive services. If I needed a car I would get one and deal with car crime in other way, maybe moving to another city, maybe organizing a militia to defend cars. By not dressing however you want because of fear you are giving away something.
