| Detroit was the richest city in the US and probably the world in the 1950s. In case you’re wondering how far San Francisco can fall, look there. |

It is not “BS”, as she said. It’s progress. It is planned out, and carefully implemented by progressive, elected, District Attorneys, just like the ones in: - Fairfax County - Philadelphia - Chicago, and many others. One person PAID for all of their political campaigns. One person. This crime wave is not coincidental. It is the direct result of the election of progressive DAs who all share the same vision. |

Amazing how much hate the right has for SF when it has one of the lowest murder rates amongst big cities in America. Here is the list for most dangerous cities in 2019 and SF does not appear in the top 65:

Interesting that you quoted numbers from 2019. It is now 2021 and those numbers have increased considerably. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/28/san-francisco-bay-area-gun-violence-murders-2020 https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Homicides-are-up-36-in-Bay-Area-s-biggest-16315439.php |

2019 is the last year with completed FBI data. Violent crime is on the rise everywhere. Smaller cities like Peoria, Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, and Dayton are waaaaay more dangerous than SF. But republicans don’t care. They just care about bashing SF because it fits some weird political narrative. |

^^^republicans? Seriously?
Maybe you missed your own mayor characterizing the SF crime wave as “BS” ? Fairly certain the mayor and Chesa Boudin, the DA, are both. . . . wait for it . . . democrats. |

Right? It’s like the violin players on the titanic. Deflect. Deflect. Deflect. Your social justice criminal justice reform policies do more harm than good. You should abandon them. I live in DC and we bend over backwards out of misguided equity goals not to arrest and prosecute all in the face of a 30% rise in murder and massive rise in other crime. All the youth rehab act, the not doing anything about the motorcycle crews or 12’ o’clock boys or whatever the fk they are called, the teens mugging people and the car jacking rise. Noooo we simply hire “violence interruptors” proven in studies to be ineffective, at a cost of $10m, or restorative justice, and then we have city councils members who are just anti police because of the defund movement. Then look at California and retail theft mobs. Bbbb bbbut the stats show crime is down!!!!! No they don’t. They all show crime is up. Midterms are going to be something with this progressive policing nonsense in voters minds. |

Um didn’t you just disprove your own narrative saying it’s gotten worse nationwide? Crime is going up? Why? Are you going to blame it all on Covid woes or are there aaaaany other reasons it might have gotten worse in the last few years? Any ideas? |

My point was not that crime is not a problem. As you mentioned, I stated crime rates are going up everywhere. My point is that I don't understand why republicans always care so much about San Francisco's issues compared to everywhere else. It is weird. I think the rising crime rates are multi-factorial, and that public antipathy for the police among a segment of the left is a factor. I don't think a particular District Attorney's political leanings are an important factor for violent crime rates. For example, Joe Deters, the head prosecutor in Hamilton County, OH, which includes Cincinnati, is a pretty run-of-the-mill prosecutor. Murder rates are high in Cinci to a much greater extent than SF. The same could be said for Louisville or Dayton, or many other cities. Rising crime is only mentioned by republicans where it fits a political narrative, which is disingenuous. |

Um, you seriously do not believe Chesa is any different? That his “politics” do not matter?? Do you know anything of his past? Read this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesa_Boudin After reading it, come back and try telling us (with a straight face) he is just another run of the mill prosecutor. |

Crime is up in Republican-run cities as well... but that goes against the RW narrative |

We have seen - far too many times - that what happens in California eventually rears its ugly head in other parts of the country. We have seen a wave of progressive prosecutors installed in formerly moderate areas of the country (Fairfax County, for instance). The goal is to oust these progressive prosecutors that have been bought and paid for by Soros. Get. them. all, out. |

It goes way back, it's San Francisco's LGBT friendliness, and even earlier as an outpost for hippie counterculture types in Haight-Ashbury. The right views San Francisco as some kind of evil Sodom and Gomorrah. |
