Pure fiction. SF's crime rate hasn't changed appreciably in 20 years (it went up and down twice, but it's back where it was).
It is safer than:
- Baltimore, MD
- New Orleans, LA
- Washington, DC
- Chicago, IL
- Dallas, TX
- Philadelphia, PA
- Houston, TX
and it goes on because 29 other major cities are more dangerous than SF.
So where is the outrage about those cities? Seems more like poverty shaming and anti-liberal bias against SF.

What's changed is people can work remotely and don't need to commute, so there's no primary purpose to reside or travel into a city anymore. And, besides, the main problem with SF is that housing there is too damn expensive because of all of the starry-eyed people who yearn to live there.
- bufferoverflow 4y agoYou're confusing crime and crime reporting. SF stopped charging people with crimes, police stopped arresting people committing crimes, because they know the leftist DA will just release them in an hour.
