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/ …

Replying to @CBHessick @chesaboudin
Thank you Carissa. As you know better than anyone, based on your experience living in North Carolina, crime is way down in San Francisco. Those numbers are definitely NOT being doctored by my office.

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!

People only FEEL less safe because the repeatedly-released have taken to making sport out of attacking innocent people for fun, in this instance killing an 84yr old man.https://twitter.com/dionlimtv/status/1356098895604895745?s=21 …
