i actually think this is a reality of an echo chamber + crime where everyone always thinks crime is always going up even when it goes down when everyone you follow on twitter is constantly complaining about SF becoming detroit, it makes it seem more true

Just as every I-bank can generate a league table showing they're #1, so can every DA or critic cut crime stats to show what they want. For full year 2020, burglary is up 50% and vehicle theft up 35%. For pre-lockdown 2020 (1/1-3/15), robbery, assault & larceny are also up.pic.twitter.com/VgInyee9rA

On the latter (pre-lockdown) Boudin could claim that was only his first two months & since then things have been improved. Only time will tell. But burglary & vehicle theft are definitely two of the most common crimes that rightly affect people's perception.

The point is, if Boudin is claiming crime is down, w/out any further qualification, I think that's disingenuous.

he was open that it's down in some categories and up and others. i also do think it's fair that 2020 in a pandemic is hard to judge against other years.

I'm not on the Clubhouse discussion, so I'm only going by the comments on Twitter. If he acknowledges it's up & down, that's better. It didn't sound that way.
