Ehh, for an anecdotal counterpoint, I've lived in SF for 10 years. When I first moved here, I'd hear gunshots - actual gunshots - outside of my apartment in the Mission every couple of months, and people were getting shot regularly. Nowadays, alright, the Mission isn't amazing, but it certainly isn't that bad. I do agree that traffic citations going down is an indicator of less citations rather than better traffic... but while you can avoid reporting on minor crime like speeding to some degree, it's quite a bit more difficult to stop tracking murder, which is what the original article is about.
