Why not? High crime rates are bad in any city. It doesn't become okay if multiple big cities have high crime rates.
It's weird to see how so many people are trying to normalize crime rates this high.
- taeric 4y agoI mean, yeah? But if the majority of the problem is porch theft, you have a lot different of a reaction compared to if the majority of it is armed robbery. (Or, really, personal robbery period.) My point is, as someone that doesn't live in San Fran, I don't know how this compares. Is it actually high? Or, is half actually low for comparable density locations. Back when I was in a low population area, but lived in duplexes, I had my apartment broken into. And way more petty theft than now that I live where I do. Yet, I don't know that I would expect crime is higher there.
- leetcrew 4y agopeople consider a lot of different factors when choosing a place to live. crime rate is an important factor, but it's not the only one. reading that some other city has X armed robberies per capita doesn't give a great sense of how that would actually impact my day-to-day life. obviously I'd like X to be as low as possible, but if it's already lower than where I currently live and the place has other positive qualities, I would consider moving there.
