- rvz 5y agoTranslation: Everyone else's anecdotes don't match mine so they've never 'actually' lived there and whoever disagrees with my anecdote is 'just right wing'. I mean, you would have to refute the sources in some of the comments about the increasing crime in San Francisco then. [0] [1] [2] [3] If you think they are 'wrong' that is.

- diob 5y agoSo the only link with actual data and not clickbait youtube or anecdotes was the link with https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities... and rather than look at that link they still just said it "felt bad". It's crime rate is no worse than a place like Arizona, where I live. If you think about it critically, it's similar to the manufactured panic around bail reform in New York. The data shows it is working, but the police / entrenched folks are putting a lot of propaganda / money into reversing it. There are always going to be loud folks proclaiming the end of times, especially when things change. And especially when there's money involved (policing has boatloads of cash involved, they don't want to see things change).
