you're telling people who've been violated, in some cases physically, to have more empathy when SF's stance on crime is "maybe if we're nicer to them they'll stop???" instead of any meaningful policies that help *anyone* involved
A few years ago when I was scraping it together out of a basement apartment in Berkeley, someone ransacked a package I'd ordered that had the first new clothes I'd been able to afford in a year. Took what they wanted, left the rest strewn in the street. I cried all afternoon.

I've had so much other shit happen to me in the SFBA, but that one still sticks with me because it really hit me when I was down. As it turns out, criminals don't know your life story and do not give a fuck.

Crime as a social ill falls disproportionately on the poor and marginal. Imagine someone who has access to a locked parkade vs. a single mom who needs her car for work - and has to park it on the street in a bad neighbourhood. Many such cases.
