So tired of tech bros talking in circles to each other about a fictional crime wave in San Francisco and then assuming it's true because they hear it back from other tech bros. There is public data provided by SFPD refuting this idea.

Replying to @seldo @thijsniks
I respect your data driven approach but can also explain this in real terms if it is helpful: non-violent crime is massively up in residential police districts. That's what people are sensing, that's what people are really complaining about, they're just not doing it articulately

I'm so unlikely to be the victim of violent crime, the fact that statistic is down is irrelevant to me. The fact lots of non-violent crime that was happening downtown isn't happening right now is irrelevant to me, I've not worked downtown for years even before the pandemic.

The fact people keep breaking into garages and homes in my neighborhood (often successfully) and stores I buy stuff from is what I feel. The data shows that is up from even pre-pandemic. Also the stats don't show the unreported crime people feel but no longer bother to report.

I understand this hypothesis, yet it is hard to see how this time would be different from the previous decades of failed tough-on-crime policies

At some point, we have to break America’s toxic cycle of rich people feeling inconvenienced by poor people behavior > harsh punishments > high incarceration rate > poor people being pushed to the edges of society
