      - additionally, the pivot to your own protection methods? Aren't we trying to figure out to make people's lives better here? You're arguing crime is down and/or not a big deal, I think its more complex/alarming than that. - The general populace of SF and esp tourism are down /4

      - Seems relevant when we discuss data of total events that less people and less tourists will change the numerator. - Valencia IS a diff universe than it was when I started partying there in '09. Don't think its better in the last year and half (tho I love when it closes to cars)

      The crowd here likes to claim that the DA is the main driver behind these changes. I believe it is mostly COVID related. I am skeptical of anecdotes and prefer data. The data I have seen shows a modest decline in violent crime, a moderate increase in property crime.

      Anecdotes vs data - 100% agreed w you! But its also ok to be suspicious of data, and hope we get better data. the story is not over here. And speaking of data, how many crimes did SF prosecute in the last 1.5yr vs Alameda? Seems like its probably a relevant data point

      My thread skills are terrible btw. Life, and the esp the TL were very bad before Chesa. But he is a person who's entire being, from his parents, to his book, to his current statements, reflect a world view that IMO has very very little little positive results to show for itself

      And, I'm tired of hearing about his policies. He is not meant to have policies. He is like the boss of the police. That he comports himself this way is very damaging for our polity, society, and the life of the most marginalized in this city.

      Ppl act like a vote against him is a vote against social justice. I don't see a single metric that makes him look good, not from anything he has done currently, to his support in S America, to his parents. Tired of being gaslit that a vote for Chesa is a vote for soc justice /end

      His entire term has been dominated by the effects of COVID. We don’t know if his policies would work or not.

      Policy is not the right word imo. Not doing that which it is job to do, due to his ideology, is more accurate. Policy is not the job of a DA. Dropping crime cases that have multiple videos for evidence but no DNA, that is not policy. That is negligence.

      Covid has certainly changed the landscape, but if there are 30 drug dealers who have been working on the same handful of street corners for 36 months, that is a failure of epic proportions.

      Not only Chesa of course, but he has taken it and is running with it, and doesn't seem concerned with responsibility for bad results. Lots of podcasts, grand sweeping Tweets, interviews, and other celebrity shit. I want a boring a public servant who is does their job.

          He really seems to be running a national campaign, which makes sense when we consider most of his donors were out of state

          Getting tough on crime doesn’t reduce drug use, or decrease drug overdoses. It doesn’t even seem to reduce the price, though it does increase the potency. Public dealing is perhaps a nuisance that belongs indoors but decriminalization is the best policy.
