I work remote and hearing some of my coworkers try to defend SF is like hearing a battered woman defend their abusive husband, "it's not that bad really, you just need to do X, if you get robbed you probably deserved it for Y"
boggles my mind that people can rationalize things like not being able to leave bags in their car or they'll get their windows smashed and their stuff stolen. People in other places don't have to live like that
- laweijfmvo 4y agoName a city in the US where you can objectively feel safe at any time and any part? I’ve never been to such a place. Outside the US, maybe.

You just need to keep your head up and look both ways before crossing the street. I let my kids walk themselves through downtown Brooklyn and don't really worry. The fact they are rarely riding in a car is huge bonus for safety.
- babarock 4y ago> not being able to leave bags in their car The bar is leaving your stuff in your car, not feeling safe everywhere all the time.
