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.
Hmm, wouldn’t you say that crime rate is currently driven by shelter in place. Also is aggregate crime down but specific types of crimes unchanged or up? I’d expect slightly more context to make a comment like this.
