The fact that crime was higher 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 years ago is really indisputable, though many try to make the claim that crime is higher today. It is probably a well-known cognitive bias, reinforced by too much time on Nextdoor, Citizen App and Twitter.

Homicide and violent crime has increased. Gun violence has increased. Theft has increased. Those are supported by the stats you’re so focused on. George and Chesa have decriminalized a lot of crimes too, which play into other areas where crime has allegedly “decreased.”

Homicide has been on a 50 year decline. You refuse to acknowledge that fact, even though I have presented overwhelming evidence of it. Homicide has increased slightly this last 18 months from a record low in 2019. It is still lower than 5 years ago.

Violent crime shows a similar trajectory, according to the SFPD website. Violent crime overall is down this year, according to the same source.

More to the point, gun violence and homicide is up nationwide. It is up less in San Francisco than the rest of the country. I don't think Boudin should get credit for that, but by your reasoning he should!

Sf is ridiculously small. It doesn’t even have real gangs compared to places like Oakland. Oakland gangs make fun of the SF gangs. You can’t compare SF to cities like Chicago, LA, etc. this isn’t worth debating with you bc you just want to believe it’s not an issue.

Whataboutism. The facts don’t support your position so change the topic. What does gang size have to do with homicides? Did SF have larger gang sizes in the 70s? What?
