You can make statistics say whatever you want.
So let's put the statistics out of the way.
If you ask the average San Franciscan living in this city today, is crime on the uptake?
He's gonna look at you and think you're crazy.
It's gone wild.
To the point where the average person is now afraid to go downtown.
So yeah, crime is out of control.
This isn't the tenderloin of the ghetto anymore.
You could be downtown in Union Square, some of the most wealthy districts, and get mugged.
You can be accosted by people on the street that are either on drugs, on alcohol, or mentally unbalanced.
It's just too commonplace.
All you have to do is drive downtown and look at the storefronts that are boarded up.
It's astonishing, it's alarming, is what it is.
If we don't turn things around, we're going to become another Detroit.
And if you ever mention that to a San Franciscan 20 years ago, they'd say it's impossible.
But we're on our way.
