"There were dangerous areas before" does not negate "things now are fantastically worse".

"There were dangerous areas before" does not negate "things now are fantastically worse".
- fragmede 5y agoIt doesn't negate "things are bad now too", but you'll need to be more specific if you want to claim that things are "fantastically worse". Specifically, none of my friends have been mugged or threatened with a stabbing recently, though a friends sister was gunned down a bunch of years ago. The SFPD managed to find her killer and bring him to justice finally this year. It's popular to hate on them for being ineffectual but they (and the prosecutors office) got it done. To be clear, I'm not saying things aren't bad - they are. I'm saying let's not pretend that things were great in the past either.
