You're right, here's some data to support your point:
>In 2020, the reported violent crime rate in S.F. was 21% below the average of 20 most populous cities other than San Francisco for which there was full 2020 data available. Meanwhile, the city’s property crime rate was 41% above average.
>San Francisco’s violent crime rate has declined significantly since the early 1990s – a trend that is consistent with the rest of the state. Anti-gun violence initiatives in S.F. may have contributed to this trend.

>“We found little relationship between encampments and nearly all forms of reported property crime,” Lanfear said, “but a very strong link between reported property crime and complaints about homelessness.”

- gitfan86 4y agoIf you have no problem living near homeless encampments, that is totally fine, you are welcome to live wherever you want. Personally, I don't like living in a city where I walk past people pooping on the sidewalk. Which I've witnessed in SF. If you have statistics that people pooping on the sidewalk on the middle of the day happens 20% less often in SF than other cities, then great, I guess I'm just lucky to have not seen that in NYC,BOS,ATL.
- Alupis 4y agoIt's important to note just how under-reported SF's crime is. The police don't do anything (for many reasons) so citizens don't bother reporting. So, if reported crime is already 41% higher than average - we can only imagine what the true figure is.
