It offers an alternative to punitive punishment for crimes by seeking to address harm done via direct engagment with the parties harmed. Some toss out the idea as impractical, although arguments have been made that if implemented properly it would taxpayers save money.

I think the conceptual shift that scares some people is it complicates the government's idea of criminality, which is supposedly objective, but is in reality deeply racist, by embracing the idea that harm is complex and reparations is by necessity not a fixed proposition.

Let's get straight about something. It is not actually Boudin's job to prevent crime. It's his job to prosecute them once they occur. If you want crime prevention, then go to your policy makers. Being tough on crime does not stop repeat violent offenders.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/do-prisons-make-us-safer/ …

Sure, Providing low income housing and transitional housing for homeless San Franciscans would without question reduce crime. That fact and is well documented by HUD

That is a straw man argument. It is well documented that most of San Francisco's homeless population were one time residents of San Francisco

Also consider that many SF residents come from other places to work and live in the city, and we don't think twice about that. Consider also that many homeless people do have jobs and do contribute to civic life and would be better positioned to offer more if they were housed
