i agree it is an enforcement issue but the line i have heard is enforcement is lacking bc police officers think the convictions won’t happen on the other end so there is no point in them making the arrests in the first place. No idea if that is true or not just the claim i have heard.

It seems the core issue is that key SF voters do not want police pursuing low level crime, and they are on order not to. A lax DA might be a symbolic part of this, but they don't seem key.
