I think its largely an issue of what you care about / what bothers you. SF has very high property and overall crime rates. This is objective fact. It has the 4th highest property crime rate in the country, and the 7th highest overall crime rate in the country[1][2]. However, the _violent_ crime rate is only slightly above average in SF. Some people don't care much about the rampant theft; they still feel safe. The same is true of e.g. the homelessness and drug issues. There are objectively more homeless people & drug addicts laying out on the sidewalks in SF. Some people don't care, some people are really bothered by this.
