Healthcare professionals demanded we drastically reduce the jail population, so we listened. On Jan 21, the SF jail population was 1,238. On March 4, when the emergency was declared, it was 1,097. Yesterday, it was 766. Meanwhile, crime rates continue to decrease in SF.
Actually, crime is up in San Francisco. Both property and violent crimes. Robberies are up 15% under Boudin's first 3-months. Car boostings are down, but replaced by a 10% increase in thefts stealing the whole car!!! https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/sites/default/files/2020-04/MarchCompstat20200417.pdf …
