For what it's worth, a female friend of mine who lives in San Francisco says the city has _not_ gone to hell as of late. There's "no particular change." Anecdotal, I know. But worth noting given all the hype. She does not live in fear.

Anecdotally: I’m in my mid-to-late 20s and it’s *significantly* worse than it was when I moved here 6 years ago. I’m in a “nice” neighborhood, in a tourist-y area, and my female partner is uncomfortable walking to and from my house at night.

In my neighborhood I’ve witnessed an uptick in drug user, smash & grab car thefts, and general street crime. Others in my cohort notice the same thing — we notice more crime, it “feels” much worse than it was.

A few notes: 1) My friends, partner, and I are just individual data points 2) were all renters, so live in neighborhoods that are “affordable” (whatever that means in SF), and SF is very Balkanized socio-economically — I’m not sure where your contact lives

3) I’ve noticed an uptick, so am in turn more conscious of my surroundings, so may be in my own positive feedback loop — but I can only report on how I and my cohort feels, and we all really feel like the DA (

Did Boudin ever say he was going to reduce crime? That it was at all his goal? (serious question)

I’m not sure! I didn’t pay attention to the last election and didn’t vote (lesson learned — don’t tell my dad, he’d kill me!). But I’m more engaged now, and thought a DA would put more effort into prosecuting crimes. It seems like a lot of crime committed by is repeat offenders.

You might _think_ a DA's job is to put effort into prosecuting crimes... but, yeah, no.
