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.
I think that's basically right. Crime is a product of human interaction and amt of enforcement. Crime rates don't really measure amt of individual "wolf-like" deviance (a villainous "wolf" could burglarize an occupied home), so much as police presence and interpersonal conflict.

But Chesa's point is that "letting out the bad guys" rn will save their lives, which is good (unless you're a psychopath), and won't meaningfully endanger the public. Your description supports that claim.
