Don’t let anybody let you know in any other case, San Francisco is probably the most harmful metropolis within the US. I’d know, I lived there for nearly 10 years.

Firs, the stats are improper. The police are below large stress to drive them down to be able to preserve tourism up. 4 separate SFPD officers advised me how a lot the stats are pretend.

Second, even when they’re plausible, and we’re beneath Chicago, Atlanta, and so forth., they’re geographically MUCH larger cities. So the crime per sq. mile is MUUUUUUUUUUCH larger in SF. Like off the charts larger.

Third, the crime in most cities is gang on gang. That’s not the case in San Francisco. All of the crime is legal on harmless. It’s a completely completely different nature of crime which adjustments the dynamics fully.

Lastly, San Francisco has decriminalized so many issues that was crimes that now, magically, they not present up within the statistics…..as a result of they’re not crimes. The crime remains to be there, it’s simply not…..crime. So the stats not present it. Different cities nonetheless contemplate it crime and report it. So in the long run you’re evaluating apples to oranges.

So for these causes, don’t take note of the stats and are available ready to any argument to show that San Francisco is a shithole.

edit:

As somebody appropriately identified within the feedback, San Francisco residents don’t even hassle to name the police for crime anymore since SFPD doesn’t present up. I finished calling after 2 years since they didn’t present up as soon as, even for violent crime. Another excuse the stats are wildly inaccurate.

I did the maths primarily based upon FBI crime statistics (Hyperlink to sources and spreadsheet in feedback). San Francisco’s crime incident price is the best within the nation per sq. mile by far, 2.6x larger than 2nd place, Baltimore. Because of this it feels so harmful to stroll round.
