Crime that used to happen to tourists and commuters (who don't vote) happened to residents' homes instead. That's why Boudin was recalled. When crime victims talked about what was happening in their neighborhoods, he was extremely tone-deaf and tried to shove citywide statistics in their faces. It didn't work.

But yes, it does mean businesses and tourists face the brunt of crime again (as they did earlier), and they no longer have enough revenue to be able to eat the losses.
