“The data says otherwise” in aggregate, up to the year 2022. Posting aggregate stats just comes off iso a “gotcha” instead of a real discussion involving thought or context, both of which are needed in any discussion including data. There’s many angles someone could take this. You mentioned Fox News. They certainly don’t drone about crime in Little Rock — they complain about the “anarchist hellscape” of liberal cities (or whatever superlative they want to call it that hour). The worst of which? HN HQ San Francisco! (fwiw I love SF). Unfortunately, in stark contrast to your stats, property crime has certainly gone up in San Francisco since 2012 [1]. SF is also a hot destination of migrant relocation busses [2], so is probably a city Fox mentions when it comes to migrant crime. (Fwiw, Cubans often end up in liberal cities in conservative states, like Miami, Houston, Kentucky, not SF)[3]. Anyways, I have no horse in this race. I’m not really sure what my point is with this tangential response, other than to say your stats require context, and can just as easily factually be opposite to what you wrote, depending on that context. 1 https://www.economist.com/united-states/2019/02/16/property-crime-rates-test-san-franciscans-values https://www.economist.com/united-states/2019/02/16/property-... 2 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/20/us/abbott-texas-migrant-buses.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/20/us/abbott-texas-migrant-b... 3. https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/interactive/2024/us-immigration-where-migrants-live/?pwapi_token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWFzb24iOiJnaWZ0IiwibmJmIjoxNzIxMjc1MjAwLCJpc3MiOiJzdWJzY3JpcHRpb25zIiwiZXhwIjoxNzIyNjU3NTk5LCJpYXQiOjE3MjEyNzUyMDAsImp0aSI6ImFkNzhhNDY0LWUxNjYtNDlkNC04NjVjLTA5NTlkY2RlOTVkMSIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9pbW1pZ3JhdGlvbi9pbnRlcmFjdGl2ZS8yMDI0L3VzLWltbWlncmF0aW9uLXdoZXJlLW1pZ3JhbnRzLWxpdmUvIn0.0aT0gBg3ZJ4oTcmum6wysTL26g2XGY7k9u-nn7He6Ao&itid=gfta https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/interactive/2024/...
