Reading about the effort to recall @chesaboudin because, despite falling crime rates, people *feel* less safe in San Francisco.
It makes me wonder how much of that fear is attributable to how media cover crime.
Would love to do a systematic study on this.https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/chesa-boudin-responds-to-critics-in-first-state-of-justice-address/ …
People only FEEL less safe because all the stores are boarded up due to constant vandalism and burglary that had NOTHING to do with the fact that I plea all such cases down to misdemeanors and release the accused.

People on FEEL less safe because there’s been a huge increase in hot prowl burglaries, where armed repeat criminals are breaking into people’s homes to steal. That’s not an unsafe situation! Which is why I release those accused of this crime too!
