It is hilarious that Garry Tan is still talking about Chesa Boudin. I thought Tan & co. solved crime in San Francisco with their super PAC four years ago?

  > I thought Tan & co. solved crime in San Francisco with their super PAC four years ago? I mean, kind of? You can definitely point at certain quantified types of crime falling since Boudin left office in 2022: https://sfstandard.com/2026/01/02/san-francisco-2025-crime-stats/ https://sfstandard.com/2026/01/02/san-francisco-2025-crime-s... . (Of course progressives wave their hands and say, it's random, or caused by structural oppression, or whatever.) And Lurie seems to be taking steps in a reasonable direction as well. The Board of Supervisors is still packed with nuts, of course.

Or part of a nationwide trend that couldn’t possibly be caused by Boudin or Tan https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-releases-2024-reported-crimes-in-the-nation-statistics https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/fbi-releases-2024-re...

      Sure, sure. The important part is it isn't falsifiable.
