Yep, some items are locked up almost everywhere, as the post you replied to said. What's unique to SF is the amount of uniformed security and amount of items locked up versus what you'd see in the same store in Manhattan, for instance. You can discount the anecdotes all you want, but what's going on in SF is not the same as other urban areas. Perhaps it's a west coast contagion, since the apologists mostly point to other west coast cities, which are suffering similar issues?
- fzeroracer 3y agoA West Coast contagion, right. I've seen these same carbon copy posts in about every city I've lived in across the US. Usually from people that live outside of the city or have never gone into it.

- DragonStrength 3y agoWell, that'd put you at odds with state leadership in CA who see their current situation in a much more sober light. Going from unchecked projected growth to projected stagnation in a 3 year span isn't something I've experienced in other parts of the country in my lifetime, so I'm glad you're ready for it. FWIW, I currently live in a "high crime" east coast city -- the kind Californians hold up as a boogeyman versus their "safe" cities. I chose it after years of "safe" SF declining.
- fzeroracer 3y agoIf you had bothered to read any of my prior posts you'd see that I don't live in CA or SF, so this weird sort of projection you're doing where you're acting like I'm some stereotypical Californian isn't exactly doing you any favors.
- DragonStrength 3y ago> I've seen these same carbon copy posts in about every city I've lived in across the US. Usually from people that live outside of the city or have never gone into it. This is what I'm responding to. I don't see anything I said which implies anything. I don't see anything in this thread of discussion which I have erroneously responded to. You're making broad statements about CA in this thread and stating its just like all the places you have been. Knowing you don't have firsthand experience in this area explains why your posts have seemed so, frankly, ignorant. For those that have lived there recently and have lived other places, we are patiently telling you it is different.
