I personally no longer feel safe in SF and find myself staying in my apartment more and more. Or, getting out of town to stay with friends. Is this my "privilege" speaking that I expect to feel safe in my home? Isn't it a human right to not be attacked by others?

When I wrote about this recently, a Senior Director of our DA's office compared me to a member of the KKK. What does this imply? That black men don't worry about their wives' safety?https://twitter.com/michelletandler/status/1411943649231851522 …

Also - what does it say that she went directly to a specific race...? I'm not scared of people based on the color of their skin. I'm scared of people who look mentally deranged and high on meth! Those people are of *all* colors.

I am under the strong impression that California, and specifically San Francisco, have become magnets for crime. With few consequences, we have become the perfect place to come and lead a life of doing drugs, stealing, & whatever else one wants to do. This is unjust.

It's unjust to the elderly living on fixed incomes in rent controlled apts. It's unust to the children living in SROs who step over needles in the park. It's unjust to the shop owners trying to make a living. It's unjust to the police risking their life again and again.

I don't see "social justice" in the way we are handling crime. I see warped social experiments, wrecking havoc on what should be a beautiful and safe place to live. Given global warming, we need urban centers to thrive. We cannot just send ppl packing for the burbs.

I'm trying to understand how we got here. How we decided as a city that the freedom of criminals is more important than public safety. This is clearly what we have voted for - for a long time. It is now entrenched, and we are reaping what we sow.

While I feel a sense of fear in SF - at the end of the day I'm not that worried for myself. I'm a strong and able-bodied person, able to watch out for myself. But would I open a retail business in SF today? Not a chance. Would I want my grandmother walking alone? No.

I believe what's going on in SF is a human rights violation. Article 3 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights says the following: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person."https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights …

It will be interesting to see how SF residents approach crime in the coming years. I believe we are at a tipping point - and many people are seeing the results of our approach to-date. The approach has been permissive, and has led to a very uncomfortable reality. (fin)
