not for anyone who doesn't like being assaulted and robbed by repeat offenders.

Did you read the article? Crime rate in SF is actually down. You just FEEL unsafe. Probably due to too much time spent on Nextdoor or the like.

my understanding is that the he's essentially cooking the books, as in: the crimes are being underreported and recategorized. i could be wrong

but even then, commonsense tells you: incentivizing crime is probably not the best strategy in obviously volatile times. my car was stolen twice and broken into on two *separate* occasions. haven't been there in a year, but hear wildly disparate points of view.

Ah - now we're getting somewhere. You have a taste for retaliation. Incarceration doesn't really work, but it makes people feel a little better.

incarceration doesn't really work? well whatever this alternative is appears to be working a lot less than incarceration. it seems you are looking for solutions in a world without constraints. i tend to look for trade-offs in a world with constraints.

You know, that is covered so well in the article Boudin posted. You should really read it. When I care about an issue, I go to the trouble of actually learning about it.

3 points you have made: - Unsubstantiated accusation of "cooking the books" - Claim that Boudin is "incentivizing crime" by reducing incarceration while ignoring economic factors other city depts.' lack of action - I'm mad my car got stolen (not really a point per se)
