In testy exchange, Mayor London Breed defends San Francisco as safe city
- dangus 4y agoStatistics are easy for people to completely ignore or misunderstand. For example, SF’s homicide rate is better than Denver, but you’d have a hard time finding someone accusing Denver of being a dangerous place. Another good one is “well you don’t get mugged/stabbed on the street in [car-centric city] like you do in [walkable city].” I saw one comment that talked about murders happening “daily” on the Toronto subway even though that is statistically impossible.
