Ya it pales in comparison to Oakland (low bar). But it's still #37 of 100 in violent crime, and is #4 highest property crime.[0] And with Oakland, it's all happening in the West and East Oakland hoods, separate from the places most people here and visitors would frequent. But with SF, it's all over the main areas of the city (obviously still somewhat concentrated in a radius around Tenderloin) where people are going about their day to work and tourists are passing by. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

Population: 16/100 Murder: 66/100 Rape: 67/100 Assault: 66/100 Robbery: 55/100 Theft: 2/100 (!!) Car theft: 34/100 Outside of theft [1], SF ranks in the lower half per capita in most categories in this chart, including burglary. Of course it would be better if it was even lower, but what I see and experience, is a relatively safe city considering its population. [1]Yes I care about theft, but my personal safety and those I care about rank much much higher than my property, and what I'd consider being "safe" in a city.
