I guess the shocking part is that you have all of this theft and crime and grit, all happening around people making hundreds of thousands a year living in multi million dollar houses. Go look at the tax revenue of San Francisco vs Albuquerque. It's unacceptable for a city so rich to have such a dismal quality of life.

I don't know of any reliable source that shows actual crime rates. > Suggesting the crime problem we're discussing is the cause of income inequality We already know that income inequality causes higher crime.
