Whoa. You do realize this article is about worsening crime, right? Do you live in SF? Do you really think SF is better off since Chesa was elected?pic.twitter.com/3cfno1bnU9

Yes things got worse between those two specific points in time, but maybe we can be smarter than the average crime reporter (a very low bar!) and understand the big picture: crime had plummeted since the 90s, and fluctuates year-to-yearpic.twitter.com/duJZbVhhRP
If you insist on having tunnel vision, you could write these headlines based on that above data. 2013: crime is way up! 2014: crime is way down! 2015: crime is way up! 2016: crime is way down! Does that reflect reality at all?
Crime: goes way down during the pandemic, goes way up as pandemic wanes Tough-on-crime freaks: curse that Boudin!
The relative crime went way up during the pandemic and is still going up after. Any chart with 80's crime data included is going to skew the curve, just like climate change deniers using charts that start at on an El Nino year (1996) Do you live in SF? Do you honestly feel safer?
Feelings have nothing to do with it!
Excuse me? Public sentiment has nothing to do with it? we're not a robot society yet
You shouldn't decide criminal justice policy based on people's feelings! All it takes is one really shocking crime or some scary media coverage, and next thing you know there's two million people in jail, most of them Black and brown.
What?! A public servant should absolutely make policy decisions based on public sentiment, AND stats, which neither are in Chesa's favor. That last sentence reveals your hangup, I'm not a fan of our incarceration rates either, but Chesa' policies are clearly not the solution
Being upset about a crime against humanity is not a hangup. Mass incarceration should absolutely be a consideration in the shaping of criminal justice. Let's stop running lives and families over broken windows and drugs.
IF your deadset the wrong way to fix the problem you're trying to solve, its a hangup What about the families who had their lives ruined by the window-breaking drug addict?
My life isn't ruined if my window gets broken or if someone in my city is taking drugs
