Like with all the rampant retail theft and car break ins? Is this all throughout California or just mostly the Bay Area?

Why are they blurring the faces of the thieves?
And what a shock, police are doing NOTHING about it! Though I guess when the laws and courts don't let them actually throw these fuckers in prison, there isn't much point.
The "no pursuit" policy is especially dumb. Like they said, the criminals know about it, so they can just speed off and be sure they won't be followed.

Is it like really increasing in the bay area recently, like faster than any metro area in the u.s? Anybody know? I heard this was the case. No idea why it would be if true.

As someone who actually lives here: lol no. One of the safer large cities in terms of violent crime. Property crime is an issue, as is to be expected when SFPD has been on a wildcat strike for like 5 years, but getting their "tough on crime" DA hasn't fixed that so...

My Brother lives in Seattle and said there are pockets of streets that its worth the traffic to go around. If he's saying that then it's like most major cities.

Phoenix,Dallas,Jacksonville, ST Louis, and a couple others had similar areas surrounded by wealth from my experience

I grew up in the east bay area near SF but haven't been there in over a decade. From what I hear, it is definitely as bad as they say if not worse.

There's a few youtube channels that show how many lives are saved a day from OD's. By mostly volunteers.

As someone who actually lives there now, it's not, though.

No, not really. Went up there on a short trip last week, every single surrounding city was infinitely worse off

It's funny how people in entire states with less population than just this city are obsessed with these OMG CRIME!!!!! narratives... when per-capita where they live aren't doing any better, it's just spread out over a larger area with fewer actual people.

Be careful: I was moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.
It's not worth trying to be the voice of reason sometimes.

I would think that one would rather be in an area where the crime is spread out is much better than being in an area where its concentrated.

Not violent crime, but theft for sure. People get their cars broken into and stores get robbed.

Someone lit my friend's van on fire for no reason. She just parked it outside her own apartment like she always does, in her own space.

Did they do the old "throw sparklers through the crack in the window" trick?
