Property crime is bad, that's undeniable. Violent crime has been trending down and SF has less of it than 54 other major cities.

Per capita, SF's violent crime is actually stilll pretty bad but we are a tiny city so the #'s are small. Quality of life has plummeted in the last 2 years and definitely ain't improving with Chesa policies. https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-francisco/crime …

And correlation with whatever the DA is doing in no way implies causation. SFPD is immediately let off the hook in every discussion. They refuse to do foot patrols or respond to calls for theft and many other things. Many have stopped calling bc they won't respond.

Remember during the last mayoral elections when Breed had foot patrol walking Market st. and crime immediately plummeted? I walked through there everyday, I remember well. After the election they stopped the foot patrol, results were entirely predictable.

Police are the first line in deterring crime. They have failed and show no interest in doing their job as you can see illustrated in their campaign against Prop R and lack of general presence on the street and lack of responding to crime.

The DA is doing nothing it would literally be the same if his office was empty. Police are understaffed for our size city and also not bothering to arrest as many as they should because of Prop 47. I’m no Police booster but ignoring Chesa’s little experiment is willfully blind.

This article is from 10yrs ago and nothing has changed. Police Chief asked for more money to hire more officers, city said okay but stop abusing overtime. Guess what they did. Hired zero officers and used funds to pay overtime to existing officers.https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/sfs-new-police-chief-defends-soaring-overtime-spending/ …
