New York City solved this about 30 years ago. From rampant crime, scary sidewalks; to family walkable streets. Surely San Francisco could do it too? (and Portland.)
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoIf they chose to, yes, they could. The difficulty is that they don't choose to, because they empathize more with the criminal than with the victim.

- AnimalMuppet 5y agoNo. It's true that some races and classes are more likely to receive unfair treatment from the police and the justice system. It's true that they may receive disproportionate sentencing. It's true that those things need to be corrected. But stopping prosecuting theft is not "correcting". It's insane. It's creating a a new set of injustices to try to "fix" the old. But that doesn't fix anything. It just creates more injustice.
