Chesa definitely made it much much worse since it was plain policy. Hundreds of small business places got robbed, not just by established thugs, but by opportunists. Why wouldn't they, when the city declares they won't prosecute robberies <$600?

The statistics don't bear that out. You were convinced by a PR campaign that publicized crime and associated Boudin with it, not an actual rise in crime.

  There was an actual rise in crime, both perceived and statistical, immediately after he was elected. Hell, Boudin ran on a campaign that people like his terrorist parents should not be prosecuted. It's a well documented fact that Boudin refused to prosecute pretty much anything besides police officers. Why would police officers arrest anybody in that case? It's the same story with other Soros-funded prosecutors: Gascon in LA, Kim Foxx in Chicago. To give them credit, they don't hide that their own goal is to protect criminals. People should listen.

    Love to see Soros come up. Very clear where you spend your time online.

Ah, I see, you prefer to believe the narrative presented by police press releases and ads on the sides of buses, rather than actua(ria)l statistics. A note about the recall campaign: the funding for both sides would have been roughly equal except for one PAC -- NEIGHBORS FOR A BETTER SAN FRANCISCO ADVOCACY.[1] That PAC ultimately took in 84 donations for a total of roughly $5.8MM, meaning average donation size was roughly $70k. If each donation was given by one person (reasonable estimate) and each person lives in SF (provably false) then that represents around 0.01% of the population of SF. Not exactly the groundswell of support it was portrayed to be. An article in The Nation[2] goes into detail about the context around Boudin's time in office and the hysteria of commercial real estate interests who, rather than working to mitigate the problem that generates such fears, stokes the fears instead.
