It’s both. The city is a hot mess.

How are you coming up w/ this as anecdotal fact for a “majority who flee” when nonpartisan PPIC, CalMatters, Migration Report, Edelman Trust Barometer & Ca Policy Lab don’t poll w/ “fear & lawlessness” term which already caters to a very small specific pop subset & tax bracket?

Provide receipts of your reputable reports, sampling pop + responses bc folks leaving the bay en masse (for yrs now - COVID) indicate they’ve left over 1. Housing costs(80-95%), 2. Employment, 3. Corp & State taxes... fear & lawlessness couldn’t even get an honorable mention.pic.twitter.com/rpVaRHJ0Gu

Leaving aside the obnoxious "receipts" request and accompanying meme, I would suggest you read more carefully and not assume an absence of correlation between causes. If the pandemic shifted the economy to working from home it still left open the question of the choice of home;

“choice of home” doesn’t equal “fear AND lawlessness” (again there’s no honorable mention in *any* reputable report, most of which detail self-disclosed answers). Housing *costs* remain the greatest indicator & polled answer in the annual migration & trust reports thru COVID.pic.twitter.com/lyhGJ3VnpR

If we have learned anything over the past few years, polls are highly flawed, at best. Trust much more in markets, look at what people actually do. They are moving to the counties I indicate above, they are not saving $$, even if polls yield that impetus. The suburbs are safer.

Suburbs aren’t safer, they’re less policed (budgets ARE a direct correlation). Now who is doing the crime in suburbs is often wildly diff, as is space for cost (affordability doesn’t necessarily mean savings) & community resources. Take care w/ your trust in manipulated markets!pic.twitter.com/jQ81CaFF4h

Markets are "manipulated", but polls are trustworthy? Yikes! You take care as well. I think we have taken this as far as we can go.

An article surveying a whopping 500 people who are registered voters & chose to complete an online survey from the *Chamber of Commerce* (bc they receive emails from them already) is not a broad range (tax bracket or otherwise), nor a significant sample size of your “mass exodus”

Sampling 500 people out of the known 35,000+ isn’t this mathematical aha gotcha to prove fear & crime is the sole or even a top reason for 35,000+ people departing when *thousands* of responses sampled from nonpartisan orgs w/ surveys have already stated housing costs. Bye Jeff.
